Especially since the CRZ only sits TWO while the FT will sit a couple of small adults or children. I don't think 2800lbs is bad and how can you compare it to a two seat roadster??
because that roadster is physically similar in size, has a 4 cyl engine, and is RWD. they are very, very close. even the grand touring automatic with PRHT miata is barely over 2600 lbs. so im wondering what exactly is adding all that weight?

my optimistic side is telling me they are over estimating the weight. just like they seem to be overestimating the tq (170 ft lbs).

my pessimistic side? this car is an utter failure...
