Or at least according to this MSN journalist. ;) http://cars.uk.msn.com/News/Top_ten_article.aspx?cp-documentid=7476483
whether you agree with him or not he makes some interesting observations such as the following. "The classic example is the Golf GTI. The Mk1 weighed just 840kg. The current one tips the scales at a staggering 1,347kg. Reason enough for it to need almost double the original's power to provide a suitably thrilling drive".
 
Oops didn't notice that one--as usual. My apologies to jpskiller who posted this first. :o Interesting read though and gives hope that with suitable attention to weight reduction motoring in the future might still be entertaining??:rock:
