Porsche only puts the Latch system in the front seat. Is that because there is an engine directly behind the seats that will get pushed into the passenger compartment? In a conventional car with the engine in front, the backseat would seem to be the safest place for a car seat. Living in Houston it seems that the most common accident is getting hit from behind when traffic stops. I saw a really bad one on the side of the road this morning.

I have had several of the Porsche seats and I think they were all made by Britax. I had to pay to have the Latch system added to my 05 along with the airbag cut-off switch. Now they turn off automatically.

Most engines are designed to drop down rather than push into the cabin.
