That's not what I'm saying at all and is a strawman. Compare the exterior size, interior size, and weight of an 80s corolla and one today. You'll find the door panels are much thicker, the car weighs about 20% more, the exterior dimensions have grown slightly, and it feels more cramped inside. Eg, it's not that we don't see small cars anymore. It's that small cars have gotten larger, heavier, and feel less spacious.
