Trunk question What is located in the area of the trunk under the rear deck. When I first open the trunk, i was surprised not to see a big area to store stuff on long trips

That space allowed them to install the true dual exhaust system.
I think the new Monaro's now have the gas tank in the trunk also so that they could enjoy the benfit of the true dual exhaust like we did.

Since I have an 04, I rather have the trunk space than having a dual muffler setup. 04s looks (from the rear) like it had single muffler with dual exaust.

Well that's you. I think most of us would rather have the sweet sound of the true duals than a gas tank there. Many Aussie's expressed jealousy with the sound of our cars vs. their Monaro's.
Since mine isn't a daily driver, I could care less about trunk space. It honestly has about the same overall cargo capacity that my F-Body does.

I'd prefer a big trunk..
