cars have been steadily growing so much that a whole new segment has been created (yaris, fiesta, mazda 2 etc etc), and the LWB segment has disappeared.

i have an eb falcon and a bf2 falcon, and the size difference is huge. once upon a time the eb falcon was a large family car. it still carries 5 in comfort (well mine doesn't - its low and loud(v8)). the current focus/corolla is about the same size as the old large size sedans.

i realise a lot of the excess size is the improvement in passenger cell safety, but i think there is a lot of room to shrink them down a touch.
