Default Cubic Litres??

Just saw in another NG that Saab had an advertisement in the magazine 'New
Scientist' that touted the capacity of their new station wagon. It read
'1273 cubic litres'.

Last I knew, volume was given in cubic feet or litres... but cubic litres is
like taking feet to the ninth power! Something got terribly confused in the
translation somewhere. Likely due to GMs involvement with Saab now. What's
next for Saturn?

Search for '1273' it's way down on a long page
