When an old friend actually talks to me, she periodically claims how tiny my 1987 Honda Prelude was, insisting that she hit her head while climbing in.

That is what she gets for headbutting my car!

I guess that they are attempting to make as close to spherical cars as possible, maximizing volume, minimizing surface, somehow that works out to using less materials, but it is bad for aerodynamics.
