Rick,

Unfortunately, the rear seat does not fold down, and there's no
getting around this: the fuel tank is located between the rear
seatback and the rear cargo area.  The volume of the rear cargo
area (at the narrow spots) is approximately 50"W x 14"H x 22"D, 
or around 9 cubic feet.

The flip-down rigid cover that prevents spying eyes from seeing 
the contents of the trunk also means that the 14" dimension is
pretty much a hard limit.  So you can't stack things up to the
hatch glass in a GTV6, unlike some other cars.
