I wonder why we can't just put the hatch in the front and seat everyone backwards with cameras and big screens to see where we're going. You might be able to actually see more than with the current obese A-pillar design, while making the vehicle more aerodynamic and still having a big hatch.
You're not pro-popular vote, are you? :P

I prefer the aesthetics of a sedan, but utility is king, because utilization is more important than vanity.

A-pillars are the worst, and the reason why I move my head about the cabin like a monkey at every 4 way stop; looking for the spontaneously appearing pedestrian. This is the very reason why autonomous driving will be better than us within a decade.
