its funny how people feel about the trunk. i acutally find the trunk on the big size considering how small the car is. though compared to most other cars the trunk is a bit small. since i got my car nobody has sat in the seat behind me, while im driving, no room.

+1 I agree. I don't like slipping and sliding left and right in my car. I used to drive around in Integra Type R seats and they were awesome, no movement at all. I also sat in the IS-F seats today, and I fell in love!! My hips and torso didn't move at all. Too bad this will be one expensive mod for IS owners.

Same here. I've been doing this ever since December '05 (tires only, not wheels), and I've never had any difficulty getting them out, nor any damage to the seats.

It appears all the Lexus models have smaller trunks than comparable cars of other brands. I've been car shopping this month and every car I check out has a bigger trunk. The G37 trunk is way bigger than my 3GS trunk. The CTS trunk is big enough for 2 guys my size to get in. Lexus needs to learn what these other brands are doing and copy it.

I dont mind the size too much. I just wish rear seats fold down, so I can carry my bike without taking the wheels off. I was really surprised to find the GS trunks are even smaller!

I personally think the size of the trunk is a high point of the car. I can fit 3 golf bags plus one pull cart in there. I can't do that with my 97 bmw 740iL without removing the drivers.
