Because while they weren't shrinking in that aspect, other things were shrinking.

Its similar to how BMW decoupled their model numbers from displacement quite some time ago. Its where it sits in "the ranking".

Mercedes too. An E300 used to have 300cm³ of displacement.

Still it's better this way. People demanding huge displacement values for no fucking reason when technology has long moved on are among the dumbest on the planet.

I'm sorry, but it is 3000cm³.
