Seriously, the idea of using ping-pong ***** doesn't impress me either. It (may) make for some good PR and artificially-inflated interior cubic-foot readings. But we all know that adequate room for heads, legs, rumps, torsos, arm-lengths, etc...., usable cargo-space, and easy entry/exit is not necessarily measured by how many featherweight-***** one can stuff into tight nicks and crannies.

There's a very good reason they didn't start using this metric until AFTER the Excursion was dropped.

Assming that is indeed the case, I'd agree it's a good reason.
