I agree. This is precisely the reason why I did NOT buy a Chrysler 300/Dodge Magnum about 3 years ago. I read a book about auto styling a few years ago; there is a lot of psychology involved in auto styling. In theory, cars with small windows appeal to the insecure because they are seen as being more protective and isolating people from their surroundings. Large windows leave some people feeling more exposed.
Personally, imo making windows excessively small is silly, for obvious functional reasons.
