In the Holden Monaro/GTO, they had to move the gas tank up closer to the rear seats to prevent the car from exploding into a fireball in a rear collision (ala Ford Pinto). That's why the seats can't fold down, because the gas tank is blocking the path between where the trunk is in the GTO and any open space created by seats folding down.
