Bench seats had seat belts in the middle.
bench seat injuries were often from people whipping their skulls and limbs into the ones next to them, even when seatbelted.
seat belts alone are not as safe considering the side bags and front bags you get with a bucket seat
Sorry bud, all I've got are good girls who are cute dogs
good girls who are cute dogs
That may not be what they meant.
It's all good until safety is a consideration
This exactly.
Bench seats are great for hanging out with afore mentioned dog and/or girl.
Bench seats are super shitty in any sort of side impact collision. There's nothing keeping you in place except your safety belt.

Drop speed limits back down to 50mph and you've got a deal
You need 30kmph for it to be safe, and I'm talking proper 30 kmph, not "the sign says 30 but the road is straight and I feel quite safe being two drinks in" 30 kmph

Had a girlfriend when I was in highschool who was too old for me, had an old Chevy Blazer and loved the Cake song Stickshifts and Safetybelts. Everything about her was fun on a bench seat.

Yeah because that engineers cute girl and dog probably died in a T bone accident.
Can't adjust the seat properly. Passengers slide more easily when cornering. More material required for upholstery and padding.
As someone who has had both, bucket seats are way better than bench seats.

Just please don't bring back the metal seatbelt that branded you in the summer months.

"Ah don't wear a seatbelt because muh sisters cousins friends uncles neighbors mechanics grandaddys brother died while he was wearing a seatbelt and couldn't get out of the vehicle in time to avoid the freight train that he was too blind and deaf to see or hear coming."
