Poll: Do you think a 60" LCD will fit in a Civic sedan?

[TomcoPDR]

Having a debate with Beyond famous Ex-Honda super sales guy Sorath.

He claims he'll be able to fit a Sharp Aquos 60" (model # LC-60E78UN) into a 2012 Honda Civic Si sedan (4 door)

Rules are, he can NOT move the driver seat position (I ain't driving 2" from steering wheel)... Vehicle will be empty of other contents, all doors/trunk panels must be closed during transport, he can not cut up or modify the TV whatsoever. Cannot cut up the vehicle/vehicle's interior

Here's a preview of the space (Sorath have physically seen the actual 60 tv and vehicle)









I think it'll be easy $, not being a Beyond baller, his bet $ loss would help offset the price of this used TV I normally couldn't afford at retail price.

Anyways, it's ok if he wants call off the bet and admit defeat, I won't judge. We'll find out tmr.

Does he need a hand? I'm sure someone on here would deliver it for him.

I barely fit a 46" in the back of an 08 lancer. I vote no.

LOL Sorath is gonna lose $100 and then say something stupid like, I didn't know Honda re-designed the trunk blah blah, it would have fit on the 08's etc.

[CanmoreOrLess]

I bet it will fit.

Interior width: REAR SHOULDER ROOM 53.3 in.

A TV size (screen only) is diagonal, so I think it will fit in the back seat. It depends on the amount of frame around the screen. Removing the rear seat bottom will help for sure.

Won't happen.

Get a truck

Large panel tvs should never be shipped laying down. The up and down motion can cause them to break or crack.

I fit a 55 inch in the back seat of my wifes a4 with plenty of extra room, I vote that it'll fit.

[Asian_defender]

I bought a 55 and it didn't fit in my girlfriends Honda accord.
I want to see photos if you guys manage to pull this off without scratching or causing some sort of damage to the screen

[GTS4tw]

I think itll fit in the back seat

[A790]

We can toss it in my SUV if you need to

[TYMSMNY]

Won't fit.

1. The doors don't open wide enough to get it in.
2. the 60" screen is too long for the trunk.

So unless your backseats all fold down, bring your truck lol.

[eglove]

Maybe if you take it out of the box

edit: wait, didn't see the trunk passthrough. It won't fit

That's what prompted to the $100 bet with Sorath... before we met up at the moving sale's house.

I asked Sorath "should I take my truck, cuz I'm interested in the TV" Didn't have time to dissemble the TV that night

The $100 winning will offset gas/time me having to drive home, switch to the truck anyways once he realizes he's lost the bet.

Like OJ's glove.

No box, it's a used TV

[rage2]

55" in box, plus a kids bike (hiding in the trunk there), with room to spare. Out of the box I can probably fit a 65".

You'd think it'd be OK in a Civic, but the problem is that trunk passthrough is terribly shaped, so I doubt even angled it would fit through there.

You sound like his BFF, that's exactly what he said. Called me stupid (like u would), that he fitted his 50-55" in his '08 Civic coupe

The Civic sedan doesn't have an Integra hatch back open angle neither... So I don't even think the trunk /passthru route would work. Only way I see would be using rear doors, rear seat area.
