What i mean is, look at the lexus sc300 vs the new sc400 or what ever it is. The coupe. The new one is just so massive compared to the old. Same with the new 350Z. Look at the Audi TT. The list goes on and on. Sports cars should be small and light. The miata? Now that is a sports car. These other cars are small on the outside, but the overall girth of the vehicle is huge! This is one of the reasons I chose to buy the Mini Cooper S. Small, lightweight and handles like a BIATCH!
Is it a safety thing? Well then buy a 4-door sedan.
