I guess you'll need to look up some more numbers, since you haven't given any that substantiate your claims. Find me a car that's the same SIZE as yours, and we'll see what the weight difference is.

Look! The current Chevy Cruze is 1,000 pounds lighter than a 1991 Country Squire! That means that ALL current cars are lighter than ALL past cars!
