my 2006 avalon has the reclining seats and they are nice ill admit that but honestly when it comes to having people in the back seat i have yet to find a girl that fits her legs behind my seats. Hitting your head is the last thing your worrying about when you have to sit Indian style. Just my opinion. If you figured out a way to make the seats recline and have the ability to be removed that would be awesome, Good quick way to kill some weight at the track.
