Hell, the new Rabbit (positioned as cute, nimble, young, whatever) weighs darn near 3,000
pounds! It's insane.

Interesting take. Just read one of the ever popular comparisons with 5
cars, 1= A4 V6 and 2= BMW 330 ...yada yada. Well the Audi placed middle of
the pack do to other makers catching up while Audi stood still. The Bimmer
placed first. I was surprised to see the Audi A4 weighing in at 3,700+ lbs
or as much as an Ur S car. The BMW was 250+- lighter with more power. If I
were a buyer in that set, I'd also take the BMW hands down. Hate to think
what the A6/8 weigh in at. Pretty sure I don't need that much automotive
fat either!
