Great comment, thank you. I'd just like to add that the "frunk" isn't new -- I've been stashing my gym bag in my Porsche 911's frunk for years (it's a rear-engined car).
Edit: While I absolutely live the Model S, I can assure you that exceeding stalwarts of the 5-series category, like the BMW M5, will not be as easy to disrupt as the market the Model S aims for.
- dave1619 14y agoYeah, but maybe the frunk + full trunk is new?
- yid 14y agoTouche :)
- shiftpgdn 14y agoThe MKII MR2 turbo had both a trunk and a frunk. Not to the capacity of the Tesla, but still.
- bengl3rt 14y agoI assume the NA model was the same way? Or just the turbo?
- sliverstorm 14y agoI believe it was the same.
- sliverstorm 14y agoAs did, I believe, the MKI and MKIII. None of the rear trunks could hold much more than a golf bag, of course, but anyway.
- jlgreco 14y agoDoes Porsche call it a "frunk" too? I can't stand that word, it's cute, but awful. Sounds like a word I might use to describe a particularly pungent cheese.
- CamperBob2 14y agoAgreed, it's almost as annoying a word as "blog," and look how that one caught on. :(
- blueprint 14y agoFragrant + funk?
- nnnnni 14y agoIt's like one of those old ladies who wear copious amounts of perfume rather than bathing.
- sliverstorm 14y agoIt's a popular portmanteau. MR2 owners also call it a frunk. http://carpron.com/multisite/d/356228-1/frunk4.jpg http://carpron.com/multisite/d/356228-1/frunk4.jpg
- loceng 14y agoThe iPad caused similar thoughts when it was released ...
- paul 14y agoI have an M5 and would definitely consider getting a Model S instead if I needed to replace my car.
