I own one. You are wrong. This morning, I put six grocery bags in the
back in two rows, plus a case of wine, some bulk paks of paper products,
soda cases, etc. with room to spare. Recently on a long trip we put an
extra large suitcase, cooler, and mics small bags in the back, again
with room to spare.
