2nd row widths

[bloom]

The specs for the 2nd row width seems not correct to me. Compare:
09 Matrix shoulder/hip: 52.6 / 43.7
08 Prius shoulder/hip: 52.9/51.6
But the Matrix seems more roomy when testing 3 in this row.

They are measuring at the intrusion of the rear wheel wells in the matrix for the hip room measurement...is why....

OK, but seems misleading as 3 folks get sit as comfortably in Matrix as Prius.
