I had an opportunity to check out the size of the cargo area at Laguna Seca. I was curious about the luggage capacity of the C7 compared to the C6. It looks similar, but that's not good enough. So, lacking a ruler, I used the only precise instrument I could find - a brochure. From the back wall to the bulkhead behind the seats, it was 3 brochures plus a little. It turns out the brochure was 11 3/4 inches. So the length is 36". My C6 front to back is about 37" (the back wall has some bulges). The width of the C7 between wheel wells was 42 1/2". My C6 is 41 3/4". After extensive calculations and analysis, I have determined that the luggage capacity is essentially the same. (Note: the area inside the C6's bulging rear window does add some more space, but I don't stack things that high.)
