The 2011 Prius, though short, is called a Midsize sedan, because of it's interior room. A long car with a small interior could be called a compact.

Other than that, model names grow in size over the life of their name. Consider the growth from the first imported Civic (CVCC) to the current 4 door. Or the first accord to the current accords.
