correlation is not causation.
Cars are large today because people buy them. Bigger seems to indicate prosperity and better value. People don't passionately buy modest vehicles (except maybe cars like the fiat 500 or mini cooper)
Personally I think this has an unfortunate effect on small pickup trucks. Think of toyota's "pickup" which was renamed tacoma and then got bigger every year.
