Default Silly interior Q?

I am in the process of shopping for a C6 coupe, all my local dealer has is a C6 Vert. I looked at it today and the trunk had NO space hardly. Unlike my C5 where the trunk went all the way down, this was right level with the back tray area. Do C6 coupes have a bigger trunk? or was my salesman an idiot and couldnt remove a cover?

thanks.

Hi there,
The coupe has twice the space that the vert does--22 vs. 11 cu. ft.
I have a vert and was very surprised at how much I can get in it.

You were probably looking at a car with a power top. There is a divider that cuts off half the trunk, but you put the divider down to increase your trunk space if you are not going to be using the top.

That is very true. I was more amazed about what I could put in my C5 coupe: 2 large floor standing speakers. The C6 has less room than the C5, but it seems ample enough. I just bought a laser printer Monday, and in order to get it into the C6, I had to discard the box and the packaging.

I've never seen a 'vert trunk, but I did have a C5 coupe before my C6 coupe. The C6 coupe cargo area seems to me a bit smaller than the C5's was, not as deep or as wide by an inch or two, but it is still rather roomy. However, that large middle storage area under the floor in the C5 is gone in the C6, as that is where the mufflers now reside.
