I have an 08 GS350 which has a 12.7 cubic foot trunk.
I was looking at the Lexus web site for the 2010 and it says the trunk is now 15.2 cubic feet for GS350 & GS460 (10.3 on GS450H hybrid due to battery).
A 2.5 cubic foot increase is a SIGNIFICANT change !!!
Does anyone know if this is for real and how it was achieved?
Don't think I would trade my 1.5 year old car with under 15K miles, but the small trunk is my only complaint with the car !!!

Thanks.

 

wow really? if so i definitely need to check out the 2010 and see why it has the "gained" space considering that the car is still the same. i have always said that the 3gs has a relatively silly trunk

 

Maybe they just moved the Sat Radio tuner and other audio components to the front? I would imagine a bunch of things that line the trunk could be moved or made smaller.

 

geez.... how many dead bodies u have to fit in ur trunk??







sorry.. couldn't help it..

 

the tuner is very small, it shouldn't gain you much space (if they do indeed relocate the tuner). 2 cub ft is quite a bit of space, i wonder

 

just keep wackin' small people!

 

most likely Lexus had made some adjustments to the shape and size of the panels in the trunk to allow for a bit more room. The GS has a tiny trunk. It needs all of the help it can get

 

I was aware the GSh trunk grew but not the other models. That is fantastic news.

 

holy sh. they eekd out 2.5 extra cubes. that's like an extra duffel bag

i gotta go to the dealer and check it out.

i've always wondered where the interior space went.

 

I thought the larger trunk started in 09?

 

i wonder if they just tweaked the inner trunk lining to make it bigger.. i know there is a bunch of room behind the lining especially near the strut areas and the upper lining could be a lot more flush with the deck..

 

the GS now has more trunk space than the ES. haha

i wonder if this is a print error.


if anyone here is going in for service, please take a picture of the trunk.

 

for 09, the 450h trunk space increased. other 3gs stayed the same

 

if they did add/find volume in the trunk, I'd have preferred to see a larger fuel tank over more cubic feet in the trunk.

 

19 gallons and over 400 miles a tank is still not enough?
