They don't want to lose the fat rich subset of buyers - a "growing" worldwide phenomena of the past 20 plus years . When someone asked Luca de Montezemolo why the then new 360 Modena was so much bigger in the dimensions esp interior than the prev gen 348/355 - he stated that their buyers were getting fatter , in so many words.
Ever see those classic 1950s black and white pics of drivers/spectators at sports car races ? Every man looked like he had a 29 inch waist, whether 18 or 48 years old. Look around you today and compare .



very interesting point.
never have thought about this, but seems obvious.
