cargo capacity for the LB?

[stuffy]

(9.32 cu.ft seats up, 25.7 seats down), than the Honda Fit (21.3 cu.ft seats up, 41.9 seats down).

i was just looking more closely at those numbers, and to me, they don't seem right.
the fit has a deeper trunk space than the yaris hatch, but there is no way it is more than twice the size of the yaris with seats up. my friend has the fit and i have compered them side by side.
it might be 1.5 times the size, but no way is it twice the size.

I dont really know much about it, but i think the cargo space is from floor to roof. Thus if the floor were longer each extra inch of length would make a significant difference in cubic volume of the trunk. Also, the fit looks like a mini mini-van for a reason..namely the roof doesnt slope downward, thus there would be alot more space in the air at the roof of the vehicle.

So you already have added length plus added heigth because of the roofline, then throw in...i think...a deeper floor because of the lack of gas tank you could def. have such a significant difference

....but...its not very useful space on a daily basis because the majority of the measurments are in the air:) rather than having actual floor space to put your objects on as in a sedan, or the most glorious of all vehicles--the wagon (most of them anyway).
