It's just my wife and me now. In our Outback and XC70, we always have the rear seat down, kinda like an enclosed mini pickup. The JX will give us a little more room. Except it looks like the leather wrapping around row 2 will be a little delicate. Too bad they didn't space things so that when the third row is down, the wasn't a gap between the cargo area and the seat back. The XC is perfectly flat and and filled in from the rear bumper to the driver's seats when the rear seat is down.
