Edit: just looked it up. It's 3 inches longer and 3 inches wider than the e36 m3, which by todays standards is a really small car.

I think part of it is the proportions as well, 1.5" per side will make it look a bit heftier but it's also 3.4" lower than an E36. Newer cars are even worse. My old coworker had a 9th gen Lancer (which isn't even new anymore) and they're 8.3" taller than the Supra. But in your head you kinda think all cars are roughly the same height so out of context the Supra seems huge. If you see it next to another car or even a person though you realize it's just really low. Same deal with stuff like the Gallardo, it looks huge until you see someone beside it and realize it's wee and only 11mm longer than an E36.
