"Fitted" luggage thread

I just wanted to see if anyone was as interested in this as me. Has anyone found a bag or a luggage that fits particularly well in portions of the trunk, front, or rear seats?

I ask because I'm interested in packing the 8 as much as possible. Fitted luggage would be great but somewhat cost ineffective. The next best solution would be to find mass-produced bags, that for whatever reason, conform to every nook and cranny of the 8.

If you have found something that fits particularly well, please suggest brands and models of bags/luggage/crates here.

This is interesting! I believe some Porsche's and Aston Martin's come with fitted luggage.

Now if I can only get it to match my interior!

I thought the Miata has fitted luggage. I remember a friend who had a Miata in like '97 that bought fitted luggage.

yeah i can fit 26" bags too, even despite the strange aperture the trunk makes. But the problem is those bags probably arent more than 3 cu. ft. I think the 8's trunk is something like 9 cu. ft ... suggesting that the 8 still has room for 1.5-2X as many bags in the trunk.

mostly im trying to figure out how to efficiently use that space. So, supposing if someone were looking to buy an 8, they wouldn't be turned away for lack of cargo capability. Also to help current owners primarily.

Duffel bags seems like a good idea, especially for those odd-shaped nooks right behind the rear lights. Actually that might be better for a backpack. I'll have to look more closely next time i open the trunk.
