Chief Engineer Kanamori told me they didn't allow a folding rear seat mainly because of chassis rigidity and noise.

Yup that is correct on 2nd and 3rd gen GS, all you need to do is pull back on the trunk liners to access the shock bolts.
Will be interesting to see how its done on 4th Gen although it probably is the same for the shock, the spring probably requires unbolting the lower control arm for access. Looks like coilovers are going to be a trick for this new design.

The Lexus marketing folks showed us a picture of 4 golf bags and two gym bags in the trunk. Couldn't tell what kind of bags from the picture though

Two grown men can fit in there. Pic was taken at a local SoCal dealership just to show how big the trunk is.

I dont understand why the 4GS trunk is just like my 1IS trunk where (assuming you dont have power trunk lid) the trunk lid when released from inside the car or the fob will not spring open. It just unlatches and you have to use your hands to push it open. I love my Merc C class where the trunk pops open. its really handy when you have your hands full
