You showed the example of a new car design vs an old one. There is more than the name involved. I completely agree with you when saying that cars can be built to old dimensions. It is undeniable that they can do it with a new car. For a price. No doubt at all that they could have saved a couple of hundred pounds when they built the Twins but how many here would be looking at a $50K car?
What people are trying to do here is show how large cars have become over the same model of 20 or more years ago and that is where the safety related bloat comes in.
