In Japan, they count the trunk as up to two passenger seats if it is correctly configured with an escape latch. The G technically can "seat" 7 in Japan - it's like an SUV in America.

...Not exactly a kid, but yeah... I am the idiot that messed up... Glad that red strap was there!

That one is especially stealthy buried deep with a red fabric pull loop.

What gives?

ever since the girl that got kidnapped and stuffed in the trunk years ago, manufacturers have been doing this.

This thread has definitely reached its' limit... and while I did think it was a joke, I did find the illegal immigrant/Japanese humor a bit tasteless

all cars come with inside trunk releases even my dads porsche has one and i doubt you can even fit a 10 year old in there much less and adult. Mercedes went the extra mile and even put an led behind the trunk release button, most cars have a glow in the dark lever that looses its light after about 45 minutes.
