It seems small here because the lens brings everything up to the front and narrows the car a little.

It's true there is a bit of foreshortening here due to the focal length used for the shot (38mm when converted to 35mm SLR equivalent, giving a slightly wide angle lens). But as the foreshortening affects the images of the gawkers proportionately the photo still gives a good sense of the scale of the car. The fact that you can't see the rear deck is more likely to distort some folk's judgement of the size. Width at the front end seems OK.
