They grew after BMW bought the company, so most of that growth was after that, specifically 3rd Gen.
The point of the post is not much that cars grew, they have always been doing so.
The main point is that the growth in dimension happen, but manufacturers don’t want to highlight it, and in the ad the old and the new Minis look like they are roughly the same size.

Alla fine ogni libro ha al centro un’idea “sconvolgente” (in senso positivo, mi viene l’espressione “mind blowing” ma non so come renderla in italiano) ognuno ad un livello superiore al precedente.
Come dici tu, stessi difetti dei precedenti, ma nel complesso la considero un’opera ai massimi livelli della fantascienza, ai livelli di Fondazione IMHO.
