Certainly major advances in drivetrain efficiency have been made! Why saddle them with excess bulk? Why manufacture built-in excess bulk? Those materials have to be extracted, refined, processed, bought, shipped, then driven all over creation on the vehicle, then disposed of.
As far as undesireable, come on over, I'll give you a ride.
I've test driven several new cars since getting my Tempos... nothing stands out in any of them that makes me exclaim "Ooo, that's better!" In fact I really despise the new F-Series as giving the impression of huge ponderous user-unfriendly unmaneuverable bulkiness vs my '94.
