Some people are criticising the current 992 Carrera/S for being too big.
They measure L 4519mm W 1852mm.
By the comparison the first water cooled Carrera 4S of 20 years ago is L 4435mm W 1829mm. Difference of 84mm in length and only 23mm in width. This hardly makes the new car gargantuan and comparable to a limousine, especially if we take into account the current safety regulations and customer demands for equipment..
The 992 might look larger than it actually is because the middle section between the wheelarches is comparatively wider than previous models. But the extremities are well within limits.

"Porsche....and Nothing else matters"
I agree. While "smaller is better" is certainly correct one has to realize that all competing products have grown in size and weight as well. So, in comparison the 992 turbo s is not big. It is much smaller and lighter than most high-performance GT cars. Only the McLaren is much lighter. But you don't get the complete package there.
Also, handling is better than ever before...
Thus, I would not complain too much. But then: if the turbo was lighter and smaller with everything else unchanged I would be even happier, of course 
Not just Porsche adding kilos..
