Sadly, it appears the trunklid of the new 9-5 will be equipped with those horribly pre-historic, and space robbing, J-Bar hinges that GM seems to love installing on their cars. Gone is the space age 4-bar link hinge of the old 9-5 which allowed a wide opening trunk with no intrusion into the luggage compartment.
I once swore to myself that I would never own a car with J-bar hinges. Now what?
