As the result of a post in another place, I just did a quick comparisonof the size of my 75TS with a Ford Focus 2.0 Zetec: 75 FocusLength: 4.31m 4.36mWidth: 1.63m 1.69mHeight: 1.34m 1.43mWeight: 1118kg 1160kgPower: 148bhp 130bhpIn it's day, the 75 was a class above the Focus, and I'd certainly sayit offers more 'space' for people inside it (even though the boot issmaller due to the transaxle).Car designers have got exceptionally lazy. Maybe they've been takinglessons from MS programmers?

In news:1gmaebr.1i1yplu1ua3x6yN% SteveH decided to enlighten our sheltered souls with a rant as followsYup. You're right. My Sierra weighs around 1380kg, has that boat anchor V6 in the front, 4wd, and is lighter than a 4 motion Golf.Nah, car designers are at least awake.

What is it with 'bloated' cars these days?

So do I. The mess they make if they land on top of you has to be seen.
