Are you sure about all of that? My '76 RamCharger was smaller than my '00 Ram. I have a smaller engine that produces more power (360 vs 440) and I get double the mileage (16 vs 8). I think the 'Better" part of your original saying applies to fuel mileage too.
Hell, the C5 Vette will easily get 30 MPG out cruising, not bad for a Sports Car!
What is the Cd of a Corvette? It's about a wedge of cheese... I'd think it'd be pretty good!
