Default Convertible luggage space

I have not seen where anyone addressed luggage space. Is there a trunk like the C6 or are we back to the C4 where you stuffed your luggage in the top well area?

There is a hatch area just like the C5 and C6. It has a different shaped hatch lid, but the luggage area should be close to the same as the C6.

It was the marketing department that dictated that the C5 Vert trunk MUST hold two sets of golf clubs. That has held through the C5 & C6.

I just don't seem them ever backing off on that design premise. Very smart move, again driven by marketing, not not McClellan or Hill. Once in a great while marketing departments do earn their keep.

I have not seen it mentioned anywhere. I guess we're assuming the C5/C6 luggage capacity will be carried forward to the C7.

Not much going to go back there. Cracked the C6 lid twice on a trip. Travel light is
the only way guess

Funny.....if......

You buy a C6 ZR1 and they give you a 3 day driving course on the track.

You buy a C7 and they give you golf lessons.
