Look at Lexus SC430, Porsche 911, etc...you can only fit little 5 year old kids in and that's about it.
not sure about the SC430, but in the Porsche 911 girls and shorter guys can fit in the back seat (albeit snugly).

it's all about the sizing of the individuals in the front seat. I'm sure the CR-Z has 2 "dog" seats in the back since Japanese ppl are much smaller. the front occupants don't need to crank the seat all the way back, leaving more leg room for the rear passengers.

not sure why, but North Americans (short or tall) LOOOOVE to slam their seats wayyy back. I'm a pretty big guy at 6ft and 200lbs+, yet I was taught to sit closer to the steering wheel when young. many ppl comment that I sit so close to the steering wheel. sounds funny coming from them, when they are a lot smaller than I am.
