Trunk Lid Design Question

[Hurricane87]

My '96 Monte had huge hinges, which, among other things, crushed the glass of a printer I was carrying.

My '98 Grand Prix had gas lifts.  Out of the way, much more elegant, yielded more cargo space.

Does anyone know why we're back to huge clunky hinges?

All depends on the car. The classic has gas struts.

So, it's "decontenting." I hate that.
