It's not that our cars are small, it's that the other cars are too big.

Cool shot, and yes, wife and I were talking about this just yesterday at lunch. Our car is smaller, and a lot lower in terms of height. A lot of current "sedans" from Japanese and Detroit are not only wider, but taller. Some seem tall enough to stand up in and ride high enough to compare to some older model SUVs. Damn ugly, and really inefficient aerodynamically.

Thats the reason I drive with the lights on, more than once I have had a SUV slip over on me in traffic. Never happens on the open road, I zip it past and don't look back except to wave.

I think you are on to something! Actually, although my 2009 Accord is a full size car these days, the hood of my Z4 is much longer than the Honda's. And, the Z4 seems much wider, especially at the rear.

Thats what I think, until I pull up next to a Miata. Those guy's are driving around in a tennis shoe. It doesnt even look safe to me.

Likewise. Somewhere I have a picture of a Triumph Spitfire with a Z3 on one side and a Z4 on the other. Makes the Z4 look like the big one.
