The white car is a Yaris, not one of its bloated lookalike siblings.

Reminds me of the NSX comparison pics taken around the time of the GTR's launch

The NSX was famously low at time of launch, so it’s no real surprise that the current civic towers over it.
In terms of footprint there is nothing in it. The civic is a couple of inches wider, but shorter than the NSX.
I’ve also heard that the civic has roomier back seats and a bigger boot.

Lovely g4. But to be fair the G4 was pretty small even when new all those years ago.

Some funny looking wing mirrors on the bottom G4.

came across this picture on a Fiat X1/9 page, its really small/low, its sadly not a great quality picture.

the G4 is a lot smaller than I remember. Does he actually fit in?

Still staggering!

Since when did a Golf need to be so bloody huge?

I was trying to find a picture of a Ginetta G40 next to a G4, but found this instead. Though it was interesting as the BMW E30 is quite a small car but the G40 is still tiny.

You could almost play 'Russian dolls' with those three. I remember back in the '70s a classmate's Dad having a brand new BMW 2800 which looked huge at the time, he also had a Fiat 130 Coupe for a while (until it was written off by a Cement tanker jumping a red light), it also looked massive to my young eyes.

Isn't that just a 3 door hatch and a 5 door estate car.... the one on the left just happens to be older?

But that's still a 5 door family hatch parked next to a 2 seater sports car. Replace the TR with a 2019 MX-5 and the size difference would still be pretty similar.

This is just smaller car parked next to a bigger car.
