The '76 Accord was longer than the '08 Fit. Kinda interesting. But yep, the vehicles on average are getting bigger. But I suspect that the bigger 2020 Accord is close to the same FE as the 1976 Accord (if you take into account two changes in EPA estimates that made higher numbers tougher to game, especially since the 2000s). However, that new Accord has more room, more safety features, is faster 0-60, and has cleaner emissions. I would prefer all that great engineering in a 1976-sized car, but... still kinda amazing, no?
