The same can be said about the Corvette and it morphing from the Stingray body the early 60's to the 1968 "SpeedRacer" design. Bigger is not better when it comes to sports cars. If GM had stuck with the smaller sized designs, or had even refined them down smaller, the Corvette would have become a real exotic and the Camero would have become America's answer to the BMW 3 Series.
And just look what they did the the T-Bird!
