How many basketball players can you fit in the iQ?

Toyota's new iQ minicar is set to do battle with the smart fortwo, offering a few key differences in its favor. Most notably, the new iQ has what Toyota calls a 3+1 seating arrangement. In other words, three normal humans (including the driver) will fit fine and a fourth one or a small child can ride along in a pinch. Hmm. We know that NBA star Shaquille O'Neill can fit just fine in the little smart -- he owns one. So, we wonder... how many basketball players could fit in the Toyota?
Apparently, we weren't the only ones wondering about the B-Baller capacity of Toyota's new machine. Members of the London Capital Paws basketball team met at the Royal College of Art where the iQ is currently doing duty. We have video proof after the break that three ballers, two fans and a coach all piled inside an iQ. We didn't say they were comfortable... or legal to drive that way. A new pop culture event in the making? Mayhaps.

A better question is how many basketball IQ's can you fit on the head of a pin?

I fail to see what this proves?
Smart crammed in far more for a publicity shot for it's 10th anniversary, but it would be illegal to drive either - the Toyota with 2 in the passenger seat?
Yes, the IQ has 3.5 seats but virtually no boot space - most small cars are used for shopping - the new Smart has a huge boot space - I have fitted a wheelchair, 2 small suitcases and various other bits and bags into mine - I KNOW the IQ can not match this!
