So it’s missing the most appealing thing about it?

You got that right.

Enlighten me. Why would two rear facing seats under a cap be appealing?
Groosh
Well… first off the cap would have to go. But then. Then! You get the boyhood fantasy of watching everything whipping by in reverse. You can smile at people as the come up to you from behind. Stretch your legs out. Throw a ball against the tailgate. Stay dry when it rains by telling the driver “don’t stop!” When everybody else is sitting forward, you are sitting backwards. Good stuff.
