Dimensions of convertible's trunk
Hi there!
My wife and me are going to make a road trip through California, Nevada and Utah and since we live in The Netherlands (Europe) it's gonna be a special trip for us. So, as a fan of American cars, we decided to rent a Mustang convertible!
We stay in the States for about 3 weeks, so there's gonna be some luggage, but we only want to take one big suitcase. What I would like to know is if our large Samsonite suitcase is going to fit in the trunk? The dimensions of the suitcase are 56x82x34 cm (that's 22x32x14 inches).

Woops, good thing I checked 
Hertz advised to bring a "medium and a small suitcase" but what's "medium"?!
Could you guys give me an estimation of size of that opening? We also have a small suitcase too (but that's an old one and hasn't got the mandatory TSA lock for traveling to the States) and since I just bought the big one I still might be able to swap it for a smaller one.

Thanks all for helping!
I was able to return the big (hard) suitcase and I'm going to exchange it for a "soft" suitcase that's a little smaller. I found an old link on another forum that gives me specific sizes of a suitcase that will fit and I will stick to that size
Of one thing I'm shure: we're going to enjoy the States and the Mustang! Let's hope the weather will help us along

If you ever want to get a Mustang back home, I can connect you with a good friend of mine in Belgium that has a Ford dealership at Soignies (1/2 an hour south of Brux).
He knows a lot of people at customs, and that helps...
