2009 Nissan GT-R: An Everyday Supercar? Here's Proof

gtrtrunk-950.jpg

Not that any car with a front passenger seat couldn't handle this modest haul of groceries, but the GT-R's surprisingly spacious trunk does give it an edge over most supercars in its class. Only the Corvette can match it when it comes to usable cargo space and even then it's just a big, flat area under the glass which makes it a bit dicey at times.

You could easily fit a few suitcases in the back of the GT-R and not ever think twice about it. Not that people who buy these cars are really all that concerned about cargo space, but hey, it does make life a little easier when you're using this car on a daily basis.

I saw some guy load up his GT-R with what looked like 3 weeks of shopping at a Whole Foods. He had to use some of the backseat space too, but it was still impressive.

That looks bigger than 8.8 cubic feet. Must be the partially loaded bags.

Wow, you can put a few grocery bags in it. Sign me up.

I see these on road trips all the time with couples, so my guess is the trunk does matter to some degree.

So what was wrong with the GT-R??? No reference to the battery problem? Come on give it up!
