Maybe this would be a problem for the 86 / BRZ too 
CR-Z in Japan:
CRZ-Z in Canada:
Interior shots of the 86:
Obviously no one buys a sport coupe this size for rear passenger comfort.
But from the looks of those photos.....unless your front driver / passenger
is super short, it doesn't even look like its possible to sit someone in the back....... |
Not only CRZ...
But RX-7 and CRX as well.
The 300ZX twin turbo was only available as a 2 seater in north america.
(you could buy NA 4 seater for some reason)
I heard it's something to do with insurance.
Japan will get lower insurance rate if the car is "4 seater" and also don't have to pay gas guzzler tax (wasting gas on 2 seater car).
But this info can be completely wrong.
