^Same, like I said in the other thread there is quite a bit of room behind the driver.

have you guys been in a corvette? look behind the seat where is the room? proportions of the seat, door and hatch position are roughly the same in a c7 as this bmw.

Have you been in a RX7? If they can fit backseats into something that tiny than I'm sure there is a way to put some into this thing.

poor comparison. totally different airbag & safety regulations. rx7 had zero airbags (also can't imagine side impact/small overlap would be any good) whereas my 86 has bags for the back passengers.. packaging a car is much easier without modern regulations.

Want something more modern? Are airbags even required for the backseats? I believe the example below doesn't have any.

I think there is a good amount of space in the C7.

...? what is wheelbase of a california? hope you know it is quite a bit longer than either mk4 or 86..so what about something under 100?

dont see any room especially if the seats were actually in their normal spot instead of totally bent over lol

Its 105.1 in. Sure, how about something called the 911...

hmmm, now incomparable engine configuration. just look at where the windshield starts and ends on a 911 and where the doors are placed in relation to the body..

if your 86 can have a backseat and a Celica has backseat I don't see why its not possible for this car. Also If you look at post #12 through the rear windshield i think there is enough space for a backseat there. I think the biggest cause of doubt for this car is the fact that it shares the same platform with the Z4 so most of us are quick to judge it as a z4 coupe. NO its on the same platform don't mean its going to be another 86/FRs project. If BMW can get a dimension that works perfectly for the Z, am sure Toyota would make sure to get a dimension that would work for the supra.

wheelbase z4/supra - 98
mk4 - 100.4
86 - 101.2

how?

Lol, theres no winning with you. The R230 SL. It doesn't have backseats, but there is room for some.

lol, there is nothing to "win"...I WANT backseats but it ain't happening.

Lol, theres no winning with you. A little longer at 100.8 in, but the R230 SL. It doesn't technically have backseats, but there is room for some.

We'll just have to wait and see.

The biggest mistake most of us are making is thinking the Z4 = the supra no it's NOT

There are a lot of cars out there that share chassis but there dimensions are completely different. the purpose of these partnership is not to build the same exact car and slap different badges on it. am very sure if this supra looks exactly the way it looks right now and they said it share the same platform with a BMW 2 series we won't be having this argument

SAME CHASSIS DON'T MEAN SAME DIMENSIONS/CONFIGURATION
SUPRA != BMW Z

Is this better?
