Is the trunk too small?

If you opt for a non-Navi model, you won't have to worry about the trunk mounted CD Changer cutting into the width of the trunk opening.
Just for comparison sake;
07 G35 13.5 c.u. ft.
07 TL 12.5 c.u. ft.
07 IS350 13.3 c.u. ft.
07 335i Sedan 12.0 c.u. ft.

That's great! It sounds like though the opening is small, no one has had a problem. It might be tough to get a large box in the trunk, but I guess that's why they have rear doors that open 80 degrees to make up for it. I love that feature!
When my sister went to the Dominican Republic in November her suitcase didn't fit in my trunk, so I had to use the back seat instead. This isn't a real big deal for me, but I do wish that I could some how fit my snowboard in the trunk, it rides in the back seat in a board bag.

Considering this is a 300+ HP Sports Sedan that handles like its on rails, trunk space wasn't my top concern. You guys can't expect to have a car in this segment with a trunk that compares to that of a Buick. Besides, the G still has the biggest trunk in its class.

If I wanted to carry a lot of cargo I would look at a Tacoma or a Titan.

The Sport handles pretty damn good though. 
My MR2 handled like it was on rails.

Seriously the G's trunk is fine especially without the CD Changer.
