Alright all you late model Cavy and Sunfire owners...
I have to build a box for one and I don't have one at my disposal to measure. Can someone please offer up max width and height measurements please? That or a pic of what fit in your car would be cool with measurements.
I am thinking I have to hit about 2cuft. [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img]

I will get back to ya in about hour times if someone hasn't , I had mine measured at one time but can't recall the exact... Height was about 14-15" max because of the trunk springs and width was 40-45" but will get ya 100% specs later on!

17" high x 31" wide
Cavy's have a more square trunk so you may be able to put it in through the trunk opening.
Sunfire's have the tail lights in the way so you have to go in through the backseat. To get a box 17"x31" you will have to trim the light steel edges.
Otherwise max dimensions are 16"x29", 17"x28", 15"x30".
Any higher than 17" and you have to get rid of the trunk springs.

OK maybe I should rewrite this then;
17" is the highest you can go before the springs come into play. They bow up in the middle leaving a bit more room but one has a notch in it and when the trunk is down the notch will take that extra space away. 17"=no problems
If are feel like crushing the living crap out of the factory carpeting (and leaving some nice marks behind when it comes out) then you may be able to squeeze another couple of inches out of the width. Of course if you want the enclosure to be any highr than 15" you will have to cut some major re-enforcement steel and take out the trunk hinge brackets. Unless you want the enclosure to sit at the back of the trunk and even then gettin git in is going to be a pain. None of which I'm sure he wants to do to a customers car for a 2cu.ft. enclosure.
Hope the measurements help you out Paul.
