Why are new cars so TALL ?
Just wondering why it is that new cars are so tall.
The average small car today has a height of around 60", while small cars such as the Honda Civic from the early nineties had a height approaching 10" below that figure. ( 50.7" )
Why such a tremendous increase in height ? I realize that Americans keep getting larger, but this is usually seen in the gut area versus their height.
Small cars are growing more tall than wide. An example being the Aveo, which is actually 8" slimmer than the '93 Civic, yet is also around 8" taller.
