My 1983 Honda opened a few inches when you pull the release, and the Passat I rented opened all the way.

Just seems odd that they would go to all the trouble to give you easy ways to "pop" the trunk, and then not have it "pop".
It's worse…the S6, it doesn't pop up per se.
OTOH, the dashboard display indicates it is open when the hood or hatch is released this way.

My M3 pops up a little, but it's the latch that does it. The struts aren't strong enough.

OK, well you saved me from buying new struts, but now pissed about the way it is designed.

Guess I'm even.
