Why are "small compact sports cars" so heavy these days? I saw some specs for the base 2022 2.0 supra and the curb weight is 3180 pounds. The base civic sedan is around 2850 pounds. The supra has a 2.0T I4 vs a 1.5T I4 in the civic, so lets say the bigger engine and the slightly beefier internals weigh an extra 100 pounds. The civic is a bigger car overall, has a vastly larger interior counting the back seat and significantly bigger trunk. All of this "extra" car and the civic is still 300 pounds lighter than a small 2 seater sports car, what gives??
