My trunk is way bigger than the BMW 330cic (convertible) trunk - especially with the top down. I can get at least 2 golf bags in there. That's all I need. What surprised me was how small the GS350 trunk was when I looked at one recently.

You think that's bad. Try fitting in a child seat. In a couple of months, my daughter will be able to kick me in the nose and she's only 18 months.

nah.....i had an rx330 before. but i guess it could be worse, i was close to getting an g37s before i got the is350. the trunk in the g37 is even smaller i think half as small as the IS350 trunk. suprisingly, i was able to get one large suitcase, two carry on suitcases, and two backpacks into the trunk. anyways, are cars are twins......

hey ppl, remember your driving a sports car, not a sedan like the GS.. I would be kind of weird if the trunk was any bigger.. As long as I can fit two drunk friends in the trunk its all good!! lolz

It's kind of small for a sport sedan, since it's not a sports car.

Good choice, I had a G37 earlier this year and switched to the 350. Hated the cheap Infiniti interior and a few things about the way it drove. Anyways, are you still unable to PM?
