Default End of an era for the bench seat?

Seems GM is ending the benchseat for 2014. It was a option that only 1 in 10 selected. Too bad for the those first dates.

The standard seats in the C5 might as well be bench seats. Close enough anyway...

My first car had a bench seat.

I didn't realize how much of an added benefit it was until I bought my 2nd car which was a sport coupe with bucket seats. It was a faster, cooler, sportier car but somehow I wasn't able to have as much fun in it as my first car..... Not enough head room!
