Good points, Mr Smalls.
The other great thing about lighter weight is most auto journalists like the way the lighter cars drive, particularly if they're tuned to feel responsive/sporty. The older ones probably remember what light cars felt like, but for the greenhorns, it may be a pleasant surprise (and they'll hopefully pass that on to their readers).
I hope that in North America, we're near (past) a peak of vehicle weight for a given class and will see improvements from here.
Let's hear it for deathtraps! ;-) (Thought I'd pre-empt that one.)
