Younger people nowadays don't seem to have a clue as to the size of some of the old real "full size" (standard size) cars were before the first round of "downsizing"- which occured likely 10-15 years before they were even born. The Grandville is as big as it had to be to haul 6 people in comfort, and that it does. (I need to find me a '74 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special(factory limo) and show up at a Miata car show with it. Younger people have even thought my "intermediate" '74 Cutlass Supreme was a "boat", and my '66 Pontiac Tempest Custom wagon(also intermediate)- 203'' long-was "the longest car they had ever seen"-give me a break.
