IMHO, insight could easily be modified to carry 4 people while still getting over 60MPG on the highway:
- eliminate the storage bin
- move the battery back (make it civic-sized)
- insert seats in the newly-opened space
Presto! Room for 4 adults, or 2 adults + 3 children. If they can squueze 4 seats into a porsche (or beetle for that matter), they can do the same with the modified insight I envision.
And it would meet the In-duh-vidual Consumer's demand that their car "must" have four seats.... thereby boosting sales.... instead of the barely-selling 2-seat model that 99% of buyers consider impractical.
Basically, it would be a baby Prius with >60 mpg.
