Oh sure, just throw that all out there. Plenty of us aren't as sensitive about our weight as much as our HP.

You forgot to add the 2012 RX-8 which is 3100lbs and the BMW 128i/135i but I don't know how much those weigh.

Those cars are all light weights for their class. But they are all middleweights with the interior dimensions of a compact or subcompact.
