...And? You don't need to follow a model to make a good toy.
That's the whole point to the Masterpieces (or, one of them). To be as show-accurate to the cartoon models as humanly possible.
So you want the windshield backpack upside down?
Who? Me or BP?

From comparing images of MP Sideswipe and Red Alert with MP-10 to reality, it looks like they will be just a hair taller than their Classics counterparts in robot mode. It does look like the car mode will be a bit longer and flatter than the Classics version (I don't know how this compares to the relative size and proportions of the Countach to the Diablo).
Edit: Crappy phonecam shot:
compare to
They will be comparable in size to
current "Voyagers', perhaps.

Not sure about the Diablo, but according to Wikipedia, the Countach is actually smaller than the Gallardo.

And they all look simply awesome. I want Sideswipe badly! Especially if they do a G2 redeco, it'd be perfect!

I shouldn't be surprised at his size, but damn, he's pretty puny by Masterpiece standards.

IMO he's still more complex than Grimlock.
Yup, a few mistranformations. I'm not seeing the interior you're referencing. Which pic?
Front view of the car, you can see 'seats' through the window. I'm sure it's not much of an interior like the Alternators, more like the one on Rodimus, but it still looks somewhat like a car interior.
