Audi and Saab model "correspondence"

Saw an A3 up close yesterday and it looked to me to be about the same size as a 9-3SC. I had always assumed (subjectively) that the A6 and 9-5 were size class competitors, and the 9-3 lined up with the A4. Anyway, I looked up their exterior dimensions yesterday and calculated the "box" (LxWxH) and was surprised to see the A4 actually a bit larger than the 9-5 and the A3 a bit larger than the 9-3. I think it must be because the Audis are 4-5" wider than the Saabs. No big point to make here, just surprised that A3 and A4, which look smaller (to me), actually pencil out a tad larger than the 9-3 and 9-5.
Anyone drive an A3 yet? I've never driven an Audi. Have I missed something?
