^^^^^ Yes, I did get kinda lost there a minutelol
Yeah, such 'toy' cars do seem to be quite popular on this side of the pond. Mine 'fits' (just about), so size can't be the only reason. It can be difficult finding large enough parking spaces in a big car over here though.
Those Lucernes are deceptively large. At first glance I assumed it was a mid-sized saloon/sedan but looking at the specs, it's actually a very similar size to my car, which falls in the large/executive class.

Wheelbase: 115.6 in (2,936 mm)
Length 203.2 in (5,161 mm)
Width 73.8 in (1,875 mm)
Height 58.0 in (1,473 mm)

Wheelbase: 2,882 mm (113.5 in)
Length: 5,034 mm (198.2 in)
Width 1,880 mm (74.0 in)
Height 1,438 mm (56.6 in)
Almost identical sizes, give or take an inch or five.
Here's a similar size comparison photo of an A8/S8, with some smaller cars in the background:

(you may need to look beyond the legs to see the cars)
To be honest, I need a big car because in most of todays cars I do not fit in them. My head hits the roof of the car when I am inside. Also, I was hoping you would find my graphics funny and not piss you off . Was not my intent. I do like your car though. That is very interesting that they are about the same size. Your right that you would not think that looking at them.
Looking at the Audi online I see its more luxurious than mine by far. Nice interior. The price is quite a bit different too on the used ones versus my Buick. However, GM has gone down hill though too.
Thanks
