That is what I thought. I love the Saturn Sky that came out at the same time. I actually considered getting one of those.

I am happy with my choice (I have wanted the car since they first came out in 1996), but both the Solstice and Sky are gorgeous.

The biggest stopping point for me was the fact that the Sky (and maybe the Solstice?), has only 2 cubic feet of space in the trunk. Have never seen the inside of the trunk, but I believe this is what I read.

I actually have quite a decent amount of space in my trunk. I have a set of lugguage custom made for the Z3. Also, someone made an aftermarket garment bag that I can attach to the headrests for even more space.

My girlfriend and I can easily pack a week's worth of stuff in it, if careful.

Does the small trunk space impact your ability to do trips?

I looked for specs on the size of my trunk to share, but can't find it. It is easily at least 4 cubic sq feet.

ETA: Damn, now I am really missing my car. It is in my mom's garage, on a trickle charger for the winter (I don't have a garage). It is under it's new indoor cover (fleece like material against the paint), and then I have an outdoor cover on top (don't want to get the black indoor cover all dusty!).

LOL, after travelling cross country, as well as upcountry, on a dual sport motorcycle this thing has ample storage for me.

But yes, the trunk space leaves much to be desired when the top is down.

Yes, that is what I meant, with top down. I do see what you mean though, in comparison to your bike!

I am fortunate that my top does not drop down into my trunk, so I have more room.
