the new has zero top up or down intrusion to the trunk... zero.

Have you even seen both live? The new one is shallower and not as usable. Btw, what rag *has* trunk intrusions? That would be hilarious!

Disclaimer: I didn't measure it but eyeballed it. Still, it's laughable since it's a rag and still smaller for strange reason. Btw, ofc I'm comparing it w the old one w top up (old is bigger), w the old one's top down, *then* the sizes seem comparable and maybe the new one is bigger. Still, the new trunk's a joke. Makes me wonder why the heck is it so freaking small? A rag AND a crappier trunk? LMAO.

EDIT:
old top up 310l trunk space
down 130l

new 281l

In terms of usability, if you have stumpy widgets, I guess the new one is feasible (the shallow<height> dimension REALLY makes it seem much smaller and less practical), but if you have more reg proportioned luggage, etc, the old one's bigger and better dimensioned (ofc, w top up).
