You're getting downvoted but that's a valid point. If you spend any time around older vehicles you notice how "chunky" modern cars are, how little passenger volume they have compared to their outer dimensions. I'm not saying those measures aren't worth it, but they are making cars bigger.
- giantg2 5y agoIt depends on the timeframe. 30-40 years ago there were cars like the Caprice. You can't even get a car with that size and capacity today (look at how small the modern caprice is). I would say the general trend is cars are getting smaller and people are opting for larger types of vehicles like SUVs.
- MobiusHorizons 5y agoI think you are describing a different phenomenon: Large sedans getting replaced by other vehicle types leaving smaller sedans. The case of the caprice seems to be a totally different vehicle if I am understanding the years you have in mind correctly. Certainly the newer models of caprice are targeting a very different audience than the old ones did.
- giantg2 5y ago"I think you are describing a different phenomenon: Large sedans getting replaced by other vehicle types leaving smaller sedans." Basically, but it's also that the meaning of the terms have changed. The Caprice is and was a full size car. Today's full size car has about the same capacities and room as an older midsize car.
