I had a similar problem trying to fit a Graco stroller into my trunk. I got it to fit by putting the stroller in upside down (wheels facing up). Try it. It may work for you too.
The G35 trunk is starting to **** me off. I'm having a hard time fitting my bike in the trunk also. No fold down seats sucks.

I've got a couple of Graco travel systems. One of them is a really big stroller. It fits, but it takes a while to wrestle into my trunk (which still has the CD changer in it). I got a second Graco system which has a little bit smaller stroller, and it fits much more easily into the trunk.
Now, the real challenge is when you have 2 really young kids. I have two kids both under two years old. Finding a double stroller that fits in the trunk was a real challenge! Fortunately, my wife drives an SUV and that's what we take most of time with the kids. But, it's always good to have a backup plan, so I needed a double stroller to fit in my G35's trunk. I wound up getting the Phil & Teds Vibe stroller:
http://www.philandteds.com/vibe_index.htm
Advantages:
- It fits in the trunk! In fact, there's room to spare! When folded, it takes up less room than either of my Graco strollers (and the Graco's are only 1 kid per stroller).
- Looks cool
- Easy to push
- Comfortable for kids
Disadvantages:
- Expensive $$$$. But, if you like your G35, it's cheaper compared to buying a new car (or minivan!).
- Advantage is it folds really small, but disadvantage is that it takes longer to fold and unfold (but with practice you get the hang of it.
- Doesn't hold Graco baby seat (I think you can buy something to put another brand's baby seat in it, but haven't tried). Thus, this stroller is better for toddlers and up (though my 3 month old is fine in it).
- Small cargo space (i.e. not much cargo room for diaper bag, shopping bags)
