Wouldn't it be possible to have a section mounted on rollers (like desk drawer hardware) that when pulled or pushed by a cable operated from inside the car could extend the rear by another foot or so?

What do you guys think?
As long as you can live with the loss of trunk space you'd be okay.You'd have to consider an exotic bulkhead which has torsional rigidity with the drawer in and out,as you'd be cutting away all triangulation.
