I would doubt the trunk is too small for a few sets of clubs. Of course if the bag is like those I saw in "CaddyShack"...well, maybe.

I don't think personal observation qualifies as a statistical generalization . I'll wait for real stats.
My wife also hated the style of every Infiniti.
The wheel on the taupe interior is black.

21-22 mpg mixed sounds pretty good to me for the sh-awd...now if I can just get another manufacturer incentive to come out I'll be ready to buy!
 
Thanks!

I have to check the sh trunk again....I have a concern... not about the overall space in volume, but, when I saw the one in the dealer showroom it had a variety of uneven levels / surfaces which could make it somewhat difficult to slide a big suitcase in on its wheels without having to turn it sideways to fit. With a large heavy suitcase that could be a pain. Perhaps it was the trunk liner the dealer put in...
 
I do believe there may be significant differences in the trunk layout (not in volume space) between the sh and base. I need to check it more closely...

I believe that the trunk for the SH-AWD is indeed slightly smaller than the FWD trunk and also has a surface that is not level because the rear differential protrudes into the bottom of the trunk.

that is true. the AWD trunk is .6 cu ft smaller.

While I've liked the TL for the past few years, my wife was luke-warm to its appearance. Now she is in love with the new TL's look and I'm happy about that.
 
At the Denver Auto Show in April, there were lines to get into the two TLs they had on display and the lines consisted of both men and women. I seen posts about similar long lines for the TL at auto shows elsewhere in the U.S. I think if the economy wasn't in the tank, the TLs would be flying off the showroom floor at MSRP.
 
I understand that some fans of the earlier TL's look or euro-styling aren't too thrilled with the new TL's styling, but that is a personal choice. We purchased the a Chysler 300M in its first year and still think it is one of the more attractive cars of recent times. We were appalled at the styling of the Chrysler 300C that replaced it and couldn't see how anyone could like that look. Well, Chrysler has sold a lot of those 300C "hoodlum wagons" to somebody, so bold styling usually finds a niche of followers and detractors. To each his/her own. At least now the TL no longer looks like a high priced Honda Accord.

Cannot see any resemblance of 04-08 gen TL to any Accord.

Built on the same FWD platform.
