Just for the record cars are not "manufactured globally" cars are manufactured on specific countries which then have long logistics of acquisition, not all countries make cars and the ones that do can very certainly be pushed through legislation to make "smaller cars", as this problem is specifically poignant on the United States changing united states legislation would have a large footprint by itself in the same manner that air quality standards of California have nearly become international standards for all vehicles
That said there is no political will for this to happen, therefore it won't, which is sad given that is a good idea
This is wishfull thinking as cars are manufactured globally, have a very long life and it's pretty tough to imagine this sort of wide regulation fitting with the needs of a major urban center and huge parts of rural environments. I'd argue population controls which are plain crazy would still be easier to implement than regulated the size of vehicles.
