It seems many manufacturers have increased the size of vehicles over model iterations. The fit is a civic, the civic is an accord and the accord is bigger over the last 10 years.
The altima is the size of the old maxima.
The ford focus isn't much bigger, but you can get it with all the sweet options. I don't know of an example of a vehicle getting smaller though.
Bmw has a 1 series which is very close in size to the 3 series. I will probably be in the market for a 1 series because anything bigger than the e90 i have now is too big for my taste.
