Never heard about this strange animal "cu dm". BTW dm3 is not commonly used in Europe, at least in France. We prefer express a capacity in liters. Just as an example the specifications sheet of my Saab 9.3 gives for the luggage compartment a capacity of 141 litres with the back seat in normal position and 1300 litres with the seat folded.
