Are any of you concerned about the trunk space in the new TL?

I have seen it at the ride and drive and it is not enormous but is well shaped and plenty deep. Would love fold down seats but if you really need something with a huge trunk get a wagon or SUV. It will fill most peoples needs

Not concerned about trunk size. My in-laws live next door and have a minivan.

After seeing the car, I've got to say that the trunk is probably my biggest disappointment. It seems that a large space is taken up by the large covered hinges. Acura did great on the hood lifts but totally missed it on the trunk.
Also, the size of the trunk overall seemed to be much smaller than on most cars in the same class.
I currently own a G35 and have been really impressed with just how much trunk space it does have. The only thing that I wish Infiniti would have done is not used a prop rod on the hood.
I guess we can't just have it all but I was hoping with the TL that we would.

I'm fine with the trunk, how much stuff you keep in there anyway, mine is empty except for jumper cables and a first aid kit.
It's not like we are the Soprano's or something, or are we????

In my opinion, the two best sedans on the market are the TL and the G35. I understand other opinions about the interior of the G but I've grown to appreciate mine over time. Also, the Infiniti dealer here in Memphis has bent over backwards to please me. The Acura dealer here doesn't have that good a reputation.
I've seen the TL in person but have not yet driven it. It will really have to blow me away compared to my G in order for me to buy it. So far, I'm very impressed with the TL but my G is only 9 months old.
Remember, we all have opinions and some are better than others?

The G is definitely a great car.
We all are entitled to our own opinions.

Sadly, I had a customer take back his deposit because he thought the trunk was too small. I could not convince him otherwise and he ended up getting an RX330. (talk about a switch 
) If he wanted an SUV why would he put a deposit on a TL???
Personnally I think its just fine. Definitly smaller then the 03 but as mentioned 30 times in this post, if you want to haul stuff get a truck.
