You're absolutely right. And because of that and the small distances, the big
reflections off the windows are perceived as comb filtering effects and weird
imaging effects instead of as reverberation.

The sound quality might be described as "intimate" with fake stereo imaging and lots of bass boom.

It is strange, indeed. I have known studios that had junk cars in the back
specifically to get a sense of what playback in a car would sound like,
because it is so different than any other common acoustical situation.
