They're small, fwd with a small engine, and aren't exactly 'luxury' so what is all the weight from? Similar year civics, with four doors, are lighter!

You think 2600ib is heavy? The **** you smoking? Weight of the civic was only 100ib less and the celica is built much better. If you want to shed weight you can do so without sacrificing quality by going with lighter wheels and a gt4 front which gives you the aluminum hood. I wouldn't call our cars heavy by any means though.
