Thinking about one for my 2015 S40 I bought a cheap cooler from walmart and put some foam in the front pocket. Nice to have some cold drinks or you could use it for storage.

I wanted one until I saw the price I just looked at the price too. That's insane! That's almost as bad as the cars I see around the ghetto with the $4k rims on a crappy '80s Olds.

I went to Wal-Mart, got two backpacks, took some paneling and built a stiffener to insert to keep them out of the spokes and tied them on. I also had a zip up gym bag I'd mounted D rings on and stiffened it, inside and out. The tie downs ran under the seat, parachute cord, fished through using a piece of piano wire. I could make a grocery run, unhook the packs, haul them in. When the gym bag was empty I'd fold it in on itself and run a couple small bungee cords,, no flopping. It could be stuffed and use as low back support. It extended out over the tail light.

People who don't know basic knots and don't have a roll of parachute cord,,,I don't get it. I'm tying something,it seems, daily. But, till you can learn, these Are handy. I'm really good with cords and knots, but this is just so cool, I had fun with it.

The net, along with some hooks to grab the edge of the seat, some cord to run thru the net, and an odd shape can be easily secured.

You can...and apparently it costs $200. I feel like I'm in the wrong line of work.
