Didn't american market FD's lose back seats due to the addition of the rear strut bar which was needed to meet federal crash test mandates?

i think the plan in the US from the beginning has always been to market the RX-7 as a 2-seater here. i don't think the first gens even had the option for rear seats. the FC's did, but most of 'em were 2 seaters. it's a whole different story in japan. most of 'em were 2+2 w/ only some variants being 2 seaters. come on, those seats are jokes. i'd much rather not having them; the bins are very useful. and i really hate the 2+2 300ZX; the stretch job just doesn't look right

I once had a rather dimwitted girl try to climb behind the seats in my FD because she thought space behind the seats with the little storage bins was actually a rear seat

Now that I look back on it, I really should've let her sit back there and just driven around with her crammed in behind the seats.

They don't. You have to retrofit the seats along w/ new panels and seatbelts.
