    My Prius ate a bookshelf for lunch (Updated)

    This is a 6ft x 2ft x 1ft pine bookshelf my car had for lunch today. Still had room for a passenger. After 2 years, the car continues to amaze me.

    ------------------------------------
    Update!

    The front passenger seat does fold (near) flat. I can't believe I just figured this out now. You have to take off the front headrest, slide seat forward, and fold the front seat back all the way BEFORE folding the rear seat. Now fold the rear seat-back. You can leave the rear headrest on if you wish. Now it eats up 8' lumber with ease. Should protect the front dash in case of sudden braking, though.

    They say that the front passanger seat on the v folds flat I have yet to play around in one and see for myself. You are correct it would be nice if our regular old Priuses had a flat folding front seat.

    Updated due to my continuing obsession with cargo capacity :)
