We can take any slice of time can't we. How about the '03 Curved Dash Olds @650 lbs, or the Model T @ 1200? The way I see it, the mid '80s to early '90s cars offer comparable performance- crash, creature comfort, and otherwise- while weighing less.
I just don't like that, as I alluded to before, GM or Suzuki couldn't throw the dies back in the presses and crank out new Metros even if they wanted to, as they'd have to add a bunch of junk that has been mandated since the '90s, and that stuff I don't want on my car, like tire pressure monitors, side air bags, etc.. I think the late '90s Metros, for example, are wholly adequate in every way the way they were, and now they or their equivalent are not made. That's my deal. See it?
