Car buying aggravation

[audiophile]

And I now have to help a friend with a vehicle purchase issue.

P. is a plus-sized, pear-shaped woman. She bought her current car, a 2016 Impala, because it was the last car sold in the US that could be equipped with a bench seat up front. As she says, "I have too much bucket for bucket seats".

Chevy rescinded the option the next year. The only vehicles sold here now with bench seats, as near as I can tell, are work-level pickup trucks with a minimal level of equipment and vinyl interiors.

She's not happy about her lack of choice. Am I missing anything?

Hmmm. I'm running into same thing;
