Most modern designs have them - the TBM's, Pilatus', and as others said, King Airs, etc..
I didn't realize the ATR fuselage was wider than the Q400; I generally thought that was a larger aircraft in almost all respects.
Anyways, I think this concept has a TON of potential give recent advancements in turboprop technology, and the recent additional routes in the regional segment.
