Good Gracious! This is what Chevy Volt calls seating for five!

That's just depressing. I am still looking for a late model car (1990s and newer) that has a straight (not split) bench front seat. That's the only way to get six in a sedan comfortably. I can't even find a site that can tell me how to retro fit a bench seat in a newer car, or if it can be done.

Your problem is that minivans and SUVs are not categorized as “cars,” so the car manufacturers can make far more of them without hurting their fleet average. If you want seating for six, Congress has inadverdantly motivated Detroit to want to sell you a much bigger (and ironically less fuel efficient) vehicle. I’m pretty sure that the 2013 Chevy Impala was the last six-seater car available in the US.
