Trunk space?
Obviously not buying this for lugging stuff around, but it would be nice to be able to bring home groceries or put in a few bags for a long weekend trip. I am assuming that the trunk space would mimic the same amount of volume as a 370z or RX-8 at about ~7 cu ft? Or will that be significantly decreased due to the rear seating?

I've wondered about the same thing. Basically this thing is a Miata with rear seats squeezed in somehow. I think the only remedy for the probable lack of trunk space is to make it a liftback. You hear that TOYOTA!? LIFTBACK!

I would actually prefer a liftback.

I would also hope the rear seat would fold down for storing any big long items etc..

i'm not too worried about it. as long as it can fit a couple suitcases, it'll be enough.

Yeah it would be very convenient to be able to fold the rear seats down, however wouldn't that lessen the lateral rigidity of the rear a little? Unless of course they add a rear strut bar.

lol.... I don't think it would come up with a good space! but I'd go for hatch/lift back if they made one
I still remember how I felt happy when I put so many stuff on my ae86 trunk (cusco 7pt rollcage, greddy type-s coilovers, exhaust, trd itbs, links,,,ect) and my friends were like @_@ when they so those parts all inside my 86 (but I never installed the itbs thu as no tuner was free to tune it) but yah, if they offer one, i'd take it over the coupe (one thing I really wish is also the flip up lights) but guess it won't happen |

oh come on, no love for flip-ups?
I think anyone that had a car with them has a little place in their heart for flip-ups. I know they add weight and complications, but it just feels so bad ass popping your lights up. (not asking for them in the FT) |

Space for four mounted tires would be nice for obvious reasons.

Well I will have to admit when I was a kid I thought they were cool in the 80s and early 90s. However, now when I think about them I see some old car with one up and one down. Not to mention an added motor/servo to burn out and the added drag from the flip ups.
