I would call these "extra-large". Fortunately much of the weight of older cars has been replaced by plastics and composites. But the thought that a Toyota Camry, which has about the same wheelbase as my two-seater, is a "large" car is pretty silly. Of course, it has the lack of legroom one would expect from a car which has the same length as a car with half as many seats.
