It is my understanding that the aluminium Space Frame will not allow this, given the way that the frame rails are crossed behind the rear seat. I wished for the same thing a year ago. Sigh...

You mean you need to fit more than 6 hookers in the trunk?

Yeah, putting a dead hooker in the roof rack is just not classy!

Default same on bmw, to keep frame stiff. But they could work on those cup holders

and get rid of that stupid "utility tray" business card holder thing.

You can fit four in a Spacecase, and it's quick release, in case you need to ditch it.
