I agree, but I was making a different point. I think most people drove larger CARS, but today most people drive SUVs. And today’s SUVs are smaller than the cars of the past. Yes any particular model seems to have gotten bigger - but I think people in general are in smaller vehicles than they were when I was a kid.

I drove a 73’ Impala in HS, that thing was bigger than a F250 today…

Maybe that perception is skewed by America’s culture of having ridiculously large cars. European cars were always smaller, but nowadays it’s getting pretty hard to buy something other than an SUV here, too.
