Our perception of the size of a Mustang was probably distorted by flattering camera angles, too, from all the movies.
The original Mustang is not exactly small, but it kinda staid that way. It's everything else that grew completely out of proportion. Edit for splellings

I think the Volvo might be quite a bit wider.The S2 has a similar footprint to an urQuattro. Same basic suspension components. My wife's "Mini" is wider (as well as a lot taller) than my urQuattro, so I'd be very surprised if that Volvo isn't significantly bigger all round than than the S2. It's surprisingly difficult to photograph these 'dwarfed by' pics I find.
(There'd better be a good reason why the S2 isn't on its lovely original Avus wheels BTW.
