Rear seating space guaranteed for the xxth percentile of the passenger dimensions range Explanation: The rear seat(s) guarantee seating space and elbow room sufficient to accommodate any individual belonging to those percentiles of the population range. If so, this specification presumably nuances the seating space that should guarantee (cover) seating occupancy for individuals from the defined proportion(s) of the passenger population range[namely, as you stated] that within the 60th percentile and 90th percentile of the stature range... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2013-09-19 03:40:51 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In the passage you quoted, the reason for those two different percentiles is not mentioned. It must have been so beforehand. Suspect they stem from the difference in body size ranges between men and women: 90th percentile for women, 60th for men. Can you confirm? Cheers. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 days (2013-09-23 08:56:42 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- If advised at the outset that space was an issue would have proposed: "Guaranteed Rear passenger comfort percentile" clearer sense and better English with 5 words instead of 6, don't you think? :-) Example sentence(s):
