Guess they figure they'd lose more customers than they'd gain from mid-engine & removing the rear seat. I know I'd be one of them.

The 911 never gets the props it's deserves in the press for having the 2+2 config. There's no other car 2+2 or 4 seater in the world that can do what the 911 does. Make it strictly a 2 seater however and it's a whole nother story.
