The reason the pictures of these cars don't do them justice is that they are not in perspective. The cars look longer than they are and narrower than they are. In truth, these are compact, wiiiide cars. They're not all that big inside,mind - there's a lot of motor there taking up room!
Here's a picture from SunCoast Creations with a 5'9" man standing beside his car. This puts the car in perspective. Looks awesome now, eh?
