If Toyota doesn't, then hopefully an ecomodder or two will!!

As for weight, it's not only the frame, but all of the electronic gizmos: power steering, power windows, power seats, BSI's, ECU's, huge speakers and subwoofers and CD changers, extra-large alternator and battery to power it all, etc. Also, more insulating material to make it quieter inside.
