First of all, the new Mustang really isn't much smaller than the old Mustang. Overall length is 188.3" compared to 188.5" for the 2014. 0.2 inches is essentially nothing.
The new Mustang may feel smaller because the roof is lower, windows are smaller and visibility is worse... giving it an overall more claustrophobic feel.
Have you ever sat in an E46 BMW (i.e., 1999-2006 3 series)? At an overall length of 176", it's probably quite a bit smaller than the new Camaro will be, but it doesn't feel that small inside. Why? It has to do with ergonomics, roof height, window size, etc.
The only way to know whether the new Camaro feels too small to you will be to actually sit in it. Numbers don't tell the whole story. Obviously, at this point, the dimensions of the new car are set in stone. GM has made its decision about the size it wants, and we can choose to take it or leave it when we see it. My guess, and it's only a guess from the photos we've seen, is that it's going to be a bit bigger than the ATS coupe and a bit smaller than the current Camaro.
