Sorry guys, I'll admit that my last post was off-topic a rather worthless. The topic is weight reduction...
My thoughts are that the city cycle mileage should improve with less mass to move from a standing start. But focusing on it?
Weight and size go hand-in-hand -- look at the Altima and Camry over the years -- plumped. But now consumers expect it bigger. Frankly, the latest Camry feels like a big marshmallow without the SE suspension. It could lose a few pounds.
All the rest applies -- powertrain and aero. They're just making a spectacle of the new requirement by announcing a brilliant plan to reduce weight! Forget R&D I suppose...
