Great logic there. "Lets make a heavier motor so it can sit lower." Since a heavier boxer engine will obviously give us a lower CoG, and we can apparently disregard all the other cars with a higher CoG which handle as well or better than the twins, let's all add even more weight to the bottom of the car, since that apparently is what makes it handle better. The marketing department can call it 'road hugging weight', and then everyone can boast about how it's what makes the car handle so well (at least, according to the commercials). You sure you didn't skip physics class?
