here is an example which weighs more from the list below

my car here vs. the contenders
1970 polara convert. length is 219.5 in, width 79.2................................
2007 caddi dts. length is 207.6 in, width 74.8...................................
2007 300c length is 196.8 in, width 74.1...................................

now here are the weights:
my polara is the biggest of these cars in both length and width but weight in at 3830 lbs..........................................................................

the caddi weights in at 4009 lbs...........................................................

the 300c weights in at 4066 lbs...........................................................

the lincoln weights in at 4413 lbs..........................................................

the bmw 760li weights in at 4905 lbs....................................................

now i may not have the power accessories these cars have or all the other bells and whistles but my car is steel now plastic or rubber. these cars get slightly better gas milage than me as well. i would wager that if i had an overdrive on mine with fuel injection i would beat these cars in mpg as they stand. these cars just weight too much. if the auto makers had kept things simple and not weighed these new cars down so much they would get great milage.
