It would be interesting to know just how many cars ever have their back seats used.

You can argue that the average car should either be a 2wd Tacoma or a Miata.

Even with back-seats being used, bring back the station-wagon:

The 90s Buick Estate (a behemoth of a wagon) was 9 inches shorter than the Kia Telluride (one of the smaller 3-row vehicles in the US) and seated 8 (though it would be 7 today because front-row bench seats appear to be disallowed except in pickups).

The Estate's contemporary Ford Taurus Wagon could also seat 7 (though two adults in the 3rd row is not comfortable, it worked for short drives in a pinch) was almost 20 inches!! shorter than a Suburban/Escalade.

Ooh. Maybe a sedan delivery wagon (two door, front seat only). I think there may have been some Chevelles like that.
