It's the best of both worlds.
Although you could just get a crew cab pickup and seat the same amount of people... And go faster... And be more safe.

As far as the wheel arches go, it may also be an optical illusion when the beltline rises towards the rear of the vehicle.
 
Check the clearence between the wheels and the fender. It's more noticeable on lowered cars.

Annoys the hell out of me.
FRS/BRZ/86 is the only one that really suffers from it. With the Mustang for example it's the bodyline, as many are.
 
I've noticed this for quite some time now IRL. Even my friends s13 when the height is fully lowered, the front is still slightly higher then the back.

I wonder if it has to do with the placement of the engine. I dont know anything about suspension so dont hold me to that haha.

I don't know anything about suspension/geometry either, but have often thought that too (regarding engine placement, stiffer and high suspension travel etc). I also think it may have something to do with the fact that the front wheels need to turn (clearance reasons), though i haven't checked to see whether that runs true with 'ATTESA' and 'HICAS' 4 wheel steer cars.


Probably is just a styling thing though.

Exactly what I was about to say. Because the front wheels do the turning (or the majority of it at least, for cars with 4-wheel steering), so they would need more clearance in the arch. If they were the same, and you happened to go over some sort of bump (for lack of a better word) in the road while the wheels are turned, you'd most likely rub on the typical contact patch for the tire (hope that makes sense).

It's definitely due to the fact that the front wheels have to turn. I'm really surprised you're the first to realise this. Lol.
