It would indeed.
But it's not only supermarket spaces which modern cars are too wide for, modern cars just don't suit our roads either. Especially with the number of cars which are parked at the roadside! They take up so much space. Many towns and villages are clogged up in the evenings and nights. Streets which were wide enough to allow for 2-way traffic (even with cars parked along one side) now have cars parked BOTH sides. Wide cars both sides, wide cars trying to fit through the remaining gap on the crown of the road, it's horrendous!
I'm not saying let's return to the era of the Ford Popular, but at least the things were narrow... and pretty awful which tended to discourage people from having them anyway! So there was space for everyone!
