Taken a couple of hours ago - my 944 in a white behemoth sandwich ...

Not really the point/thrust of the thread, the model is meant to be the same.

Go back and look at the very first post in 2012 ... it doesn't matter what the cars are - and there isn't a 2020 model 944 or hadn't you noticed?

This four door saloon is ten years from historic and still looks small next to modern-man's bum.

Lancia Prisma; a great spot!

Must be extremely rare these days. Lovely car back in the day, a cut above Orions, Astra Belmonts etc.

The Lancia driver also seem to be rather better at parking than the modern man's bum which isn't so much parked as abandoned somewhere near a parking space, but not too close.

The footprint of the 2 looks about the same.

But one is a V8 'GT' and the other is a City car.

The Honda looks somewhat wider

Its taller, but it doesn't look much wider.

I suspect the Stag is probably longer, not that you could tell from that angle.

A couple more photos which will also hopefully demonstrate the Stag’s compact design.

Compared to a Renault Twingo:
