I think I might be able to better tolerate modern cars getting bigger, were they not so bloody UGLY as well!!!!

Is that Ferrari on Gauteng (GP) plates? If so, it's a long way from home.

The Mini vs "Bini" has been posted before, as has the Fiat 500
They perfect for this thread

I saw one of those Countryman things parked in front of an Evoque recently and it was closer in bulk to that than to an old mini.

Totally agree, that nose is plug ugly with that gaping black area.

The one on the right looks like a massively overweight lard arse compared to the car sized Escort.

Indeed it does.

And the fact that the photo shows a hobbit standing next to it merely reinforces it's excessive girth.

l'd like to see the first Honda Civic parked next to the latest model.

Why are so many on here so surprised that the Countryman is almost as big as an Evoque? - It's supposed to be a large, trendy, "lifestyle" vehicle that is bigger than the BMW Mini. Funnily enough - That's exactly what it is!

If it were to follow the original naming convention it would be a Maxi!
