Default I want to see the trunk.

I like taking the 08 on trips. I need the storage. Did anyone see a trunk shot?

I was searching for the same thing. Here you go:





I like the wide opening, but these quick shots make the storage space look shallow to me. I'm hoping it's just a perspective artifact.

Looks roomy enough. Thanks for posting!

Do I see the sub-woofer grilles in the back vertical trim?

Looks like a compartment in the driver's side rear corner.

Agreed not much glass.

When I first drove the 06 350Z I thought the rear view was compromised.

I got used to it but there are blind spots nevertheless.

I would imagine that this will be the same, just different from the last two big rear window series cars.

As long as it still has plenty of room for two golf bags I'm happy.

Four. Late C3 and C4 were also big rear-window series cars. I am going to miss the bubble back.

Same here.

To my eye, one of the trunk pics makes it look at least C6 size, the other makes it look about 1/2 C6 size.

IIRC:
C5 = 22 CF
C6 = 20 CF

Don't want it getting any smaller.

It's got a handle on the right side of the hatch to pull it down.

The early C6 coupes had that, but they did away with it in about 2008.

The C6 one was a small piece that was screwed on - so it was easy to leave it off on the later production C6.

The C7 one is molded into the trim piece!! I like it!!!

Tadge addressed this and they did NOT compromise the storage area on the C7.

Would be nice if GM could put an aluminium bar across/behind seats for race harness

Lets see how long it lasts....after the first few broken hands/wrists!...I believe that is why they eliminated 2008!
