Instead of all the innuendo and accusations, can someone simply post a few pictures of a packed C7 convertible trunk? You don't have to pack the bags, just show the layout. The lack of primary communication skills on this board is epic sometimes.
If Elmer can get two carry-on size bags in the trunk, that should be sufficient for any weekend trip. If you can stuff some soft-sided duffels in as well, that would be a bonus.
Thank you in advance.

I frankly am lost? The C7 (coupe or convertible) has more luggage room than any other two seat sports car made - and you guys are complaining?
Have you tried going anywhere in Cayman or Boxster or that Alfa 4C?

We're talking verts here. Of course a coupe has more room. It's a hatchback. But no, verts DO NOT have more room than "any other two seat sports car made." Try an SL-550 just as one example. Twice the room in a vert.

My wife had an SLK 350, followed by a Z4. Cute zippy girlie cars, which she loves. But, with the top down, there is almost no trunk space. Worse, that hard 3-dimensional partition has to be positioned just right for the top to even operate.
Gimme a rag-top any day (as long as it's a Corvette).

I'm not getting any younger, as I'm already a senior citizen, and hopefully a walker is a long ways away for me - but, outside of having to give up a manual transmission, I would still want to be mobile in my choice of cars that would accommodate a walker.

...Not with the top down you don't....LOL Still, Marina and I have no problem packing for multi week trips in our convertible Z51, and we can still drive to our destinations with the top down, as we normally do!
It's all about what you pack, and how much of it you chose to bring along with you. I think our lives as seasoned motorcycle tourists prepared us to deal with the luggage space in the convertible.
Happy motoring!
