Subaru dropped a chunk of weight from the new gen Impreza, no reason they won't be aggressive in that department with this car.
I think the magazine was just talking out their ass really. 3000lbs in a vehicle this size is pathetic and unacceptable. I'd consider 2800lbs overweight. With the Miata weighing around 2500 and having the extra chassis strength needed to forego a top, I think 2600-2650 would be perfectly do-able. Unfortunately, I don't really think they're going to hit that target. 3000lbs is just silly though. Hoping that they just made the number up and don't know something we don't.
