Default Boot Space Fairlane - Fairmont ?

Looking for a wagoon for the extra luggage space, but i keep getting an urge to buy a nice AU luxo barge again

So im thinking an AU Lane, but is it really gonna give me any more luggage room than my previous AU Fairmont?

Anyone with some specific numbers i can crunch?

Falcon/Fairmont boot 512L Fairlane boot 550L may not sound like much but in practice the Fairlane is noticeably roomier in the boot

thanks heaps !!

I wonder how where the extra space goes? Looking on carsales, from the sparewheel to the back of the seats it looks the same

But from behind the spare, to the boot latch it looks a little longer?

that's right the car has a longer wheelbase giving more rear seat room and the rear guards are longer and the boot lid flatter giving more space. you are looking at about 2 jerry cans to put it into perspective
