The old Targa is more the size of a Cayman while the 997 was HUGE, and I am sure the 991 is even bigger now
It's not just Porsche. Forget who it was, maybe C&D, they photographed a 90's Taurus SHO in between two new ones and the 90's one was absolutely DWARFED (silly word to put in all caps - LOL) by the new. I think the mirrors on the new were well over the hood on old and roof line from 90's was barely to middle of window on new. You see the same thing w/ all mfg... look at an orig Toyota Camry vs new or Nissan Maxima... the list goes on...
