> It's deceptively styled to look a big boy car, but it's a matchbox. That's why no reviewers will show themselves or anyone else towering over it. It's for those who want a big car, but without all that space.

I miss the days when men looking to compensate would buy sports cars. It wasn't any less ridiculous, but at least they (edit: the cars) were better looking and more fun to drive.

If only those ridiculous guys who wanted something fun to drive had realized how much more fun they could have by making fun of people and feeling superior.

Yikes, someone's a bit oversensitive

I guess it depends on what they were compensating for. Up until the 80's and 90's at least there was more association of racing cars with road cars that you could buy.

So that would associate you with the (A man's manly-man maybe?) driver of that car.

But now race cars are not really much like a production road car. And those older men with money don't necessarily want to be like the ever younger drivers being employed to win races.

As you say, ridiculous, but at least the sports cars were cool.

Nice edit.
