I don't really think dimensions matter with cars like these. Engine size and power is more important... And looks can be more important still.
I'd get none of them... They are all wretched looking, in my opinion. When Bugatti starts building nice cars which are financially beneficial and not just chromed up, I will start to consider them a decent manufacturer.

Not just that, but the name Bugatti is just a marketing ploy. The company and name had not existed for decades. The last car from Bugatti was in 1957 and the company ceased to exist in 1962. The aircraft parts devision continued for a while before be swallowed up by Messier as in Messier Dowty aircraft parts. Since then it is just a name that has been bought and sold. It was just started again for financial reasons. It is not a real Bugatti any more than if Napier or Auto Union was resurrected. Next year we are all supposed to believe that Lotus is returning to F1. Just because it has a Lotus badge and a green and yellow paint job does not make it a Lotus.
