Just thought we might have some creative suggestions from people with engineering backgrounds. I do think the car is pretty light for all the standards it needs to comply with. I'm willing to bet there are things that people thought could be lighter- and I was just curious.

I figured a rear seat delete option would have been neat. I know some people utilize it, but for me, I think I must have only used the rear seats 3 times since purchasing the car. It could even be a dealer option so insurance companies could still classify the car as a 2+2.
