Since there is all that extra room... The 80s called, can we please have bench-seats back? I had an old crown vic a few years ago and I missed those huge sofa-like bench-seats all the time. Modern bucket seats in comparison are incredibly constructing and claustrophobic. Not every car needs to feel like a racecar. Sometimes I want a comfy roadtrip on my floating sofa.

This is what I miss about my Oldsmobile Cutlass. I could comfortably sit 2 passengers (+ driver) in the front - there was even an extra seat belt in the middle. Besides being great for taking naps, the bench-seats also allowed your date to snuggle up to you on those long romantic drives :)

How would current generation airbags come into play with bench seats? A lot of manufactures include side airbags right into the seat bolsters.

I suspect the rising popularity of dual airbags helped the demise of the middle front seat.

The middle front seat is alive and well in pickups.
