They're actually getting taller, which makes them look skinnier. People cry for headroom and ease of entry/exit like their SUVs. Manufacturers respond by raising the seating position off the ground and raising the roofs of the cars.

Look at an Acura RSX compared to an Integra or an early 90s Corolla compared to a new one and you'll see what I mean.

Even the 996/997 is HUGE when sitting next to a 993.

I absolutely hate this trend.
