I think that picture is deceptive. The S550 is 1.5" less tall*, but the S197 and S550 both have the same wheelbase (107.1"), the same front track width, and the S550 is somewhere between 2 and 3 inches wider in the rear.

* - I used "less tall" as "shorter" could mean height or length.
 
True, the rear track is wider but the rear end of the car is tapered back in so it does look narrower than the S197. I like it but would love to see a shot of it next to a New Edge. If I hadn't just bought mine last year, I'd be looking at this when they come out.
I would like to see it parked next to a New Edge stang also bc looking at that pic that's almost how the NE stangs look in a size comparison when parked next to the S197. Looking at that pic it looks a quite a bit smaller.
 
^ I think they are comparing the size of them. When it comes to opinions that compare the looks of them that will be all over the place.
 
Yeah, the 2nd to last picture, the blue coyote looks smaller. Then the bottom picture, the s550 and coyote looks the same.

I guess it's just how the camera angle hits.

Not sure why you're referring to the S197 as a "coyote"; coyote is the name for the '11-present 5.0L DOHC engine, and the S550 is coyote-powered, too.

Yah, they look pretty similar in terms of size. It's all up to the camera to swing it one way or another.


For example, my car doesn't look a whole lot smaller than this S197:



But with a different angle/positioning, my car looks teeny tiny.

You know what I mean Mr. technical
