I saw one at my Lexus dealer while I waited for my 20K servicing.

It looks more like 50% than 20%.

A much needed improvement....Sure wish I could swap trunks....

Ditto. Still my only complaint regarding the car.

There has to be a way to retrofit the car with the 2009 trunk liners. The hardware behind there can't be all that different. These cars were surely not all meant to be consular or presidential limos...

i thought on the 600hl it's re-placement of the battery and other parts? if so it's more than just the liners work

Unless our travel habits change(they won't), I won't even bother with a retrofit even if it's easy & cheap ...

I agree with you. The trunk is already big enough to fit my groceries. I don't play golf and hardly fetch people from the airport. I just feel annoyed when I open the trunk door to see such a small trunk in a humongous car.

im pretty sure you would have to replace the battery pack too. i mean if it was a simple trunk liner, then they would have done this from the start. in fact they probably wouldnt have changed it, except all the automotive magazines knock it down on luggage capacity
