To meet today's safety standards/expectations, sound expectations, comfort expectations the cars are just going to be heavier.
Imagine if Subaru/Toyota made a car that was super light? Two air bags, super cheap radio with 2 speakers, no sound deadening.
About 5% of their market would want to buy it. They make these types of cars in the UK and they are all expensive and rare. A true lightweight car from a major company that isn't expensive just ins't going to happen anymore.
