Finally! That never made sense to me.

My remaining question is how flat the transition is from the rear cargo area to the flattened third row. The above picture makes it look like there's a big bump but I don't feel like I can really tell.

I can confirm that there is a bump and an angle up from back to front when the third row is down. We viewed both the Limited and the Touring on display at the Chicago Auto Show yesterday morning.

Bah! Well, that's too bad. It was a beautiful dream. Maybe that's something they'll fix on future models.
