Why are current cars so bulky ?
Discussion
In the late eighties I had a Capri (1.6) at the time it was a big car, certainly length wise and on a par width wise with virtually everything on the road. For various reasons (*) I have recently bought a Capri again and it now seems so much smaller than even the so called compact cars (eg suzuki swift) of today.
Why ??? In this era of allegedly being eco friendly surely "smaller" less bloated cars would be more appropriate - yet all the manufacturers are making SUVs which are even bigger !

(*) was thinking about changing my car, and seeing if I could find a gt86 for sensible money, and realised the I wanted another Capri. I have to say that while it is "agricultural" it's a joy to drive and I'd chose it over any other car (I could afford to buy). I also have the benefit of knowing that I'm certainly not losing money at the same rate.
