Thanks. You are correct about the seat. Bear in mind this is a two-minute video hitting the high spots. In a 25-minute sit-down interview with Andrew Farah and Pam Fletcher, Farah described the rear seat as a convenience measure. He said it is not as accommodating as one would expect from an SUV (obviously). We'd call it a compromise. At GM-Volt.com are posted at the bottom of the Volt article photos of the cutaway Volt GM has on display at Detroit. It shows the rear in far greater clarity. gm-volt.com/2015/01/12/2016-volt-seats-five-promises-50-miles-electric-range/
