    Did some recycling (turns out I'm a little green) today and I was able to get 153 bagged 2 litter bottles into the back with rear seats laid flat... Would have been two trip in my last car- gen 2 Honda insight.

    The cargo area is large. I was able to fit 2 big screen TV's in the rear with plenty of room to spare. I did lower the rear seats.

    Consistant baby steps makes a big difference. What if everyone's car shut off when they were stopped? Go think Big!
     
  7. That would be a leap forward.
     
  8. I fit a 8 X 4 piece of styrofoam in the car. I'll bet you can't fit a 8x4 piece of plywood in the trunk. BET ?
