Indeed it is a trend. e.g. I really like the earlier Subaru Forester size. Now they're just like the rest. Sad and unnecessary imo.

I have a 2006 Forester, but a couple of my family members have the newer models. The size difference is quite significant when we're parked side-by-side, mine looks like a small car these days.
