They are bigger than one would think

2019 Toyota Camry V6

A Toyota camry is not what I'd call a big car. How small would you expect a vehicle that could come with a 400ci V8 to be? Yeah, they are bigger than a 911 or a miata, but then Porsches have always been relatively diminutive, especially compared to the competition. And camaros, firebirds and mustangs weren't sports cars, they were pony cars.

My first car in 1986 was a 1965 Chevy Impala 2dr

213" long
79.5" wide
55.5" tall
~3600#

My first Porsche, an '88 911
169" long
65" wide
52" tall
~2800#

My current Porsche, '08 Boxster S
171.6" long
70.9" wide
50.9" tall
~3000#
