Need help with Solaris TRUNK dimensions

I'm picking up my new road bike today (UPS can't guarantee that a truck can deliver it after 6 pm), but I don't know if the box will fit in my car. I can't seem to find any decent information on the size of the trunk or backseat. The dimensions of the box are listed below:

Length: 5 feet (60 inches)
Width: 8 inches
Height: 3 feet (36 inches)

My car is a 2000 Toyota Solara SE (Coupe). I don't have anything currently stored in my trunk or backseat, so I should be able to maximize the available space.

Additionally, my backseat can lay down with a small opening that connects to the trunk. I do not know the dimensions of the opening, but I think the diameter is probably less than 3 feet.

I would like to keep it in a box until I get home, but I guess in a wost-case scenario I can open the box and carry the parts individually. Doing that just makes gettting it into my apartment a hassle and I risk losing a piece in my trunk or backseat.

SOOOO, does anyone know if this box would fit in my trunk so I wouldn't have to take my bike out of the box? I don't know the dimensions of my trunk, and I'm not going to be near my car before I go pick up my bike.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Maybe I'm being particularly dense this morning but wonder...why don't you just measure your trunk?

BTW the box would (barely) fit in the Gen2 trunk if it were layed on its side and both rear seatbacks were down. Hopefully your trunk is about the same dimension.

Cheers
