Okay, they're just guessing.
Pretty much every new model from a manufacturer gains either size or weight or both. No hats off. I will shop elsewhere if it doesn't lose weight.
They also said the EB4 was Europe only...
What would be the "weight-conscious" competitive vehicle you would consider instead? Is weight in the "top 3" of your most important criteria when purchasing?
Well, right now there's not really any other car. 370Z is useless with no trunk, Genesis Coupe is fun, but not for me. The GT86 twins look great, there's just no power. MX-5 is approaching useless and has no power. If they bring back a version or the RX-7/8 I might be interested, but there'd have to be a significant bump in power.
You might think this, but I've been extremely pleased with the functionality of mine. I can fit a ton of stuff in it. I take it camping and fishing all the time. The hatch is quite large and deep enough to fit many large items with ease, like a new vacuum cleaner, or a 25 gallon aquarium tank, etc.

The Z is quite portly for its size, though. And the weight distribution sucks.
I'd definitely love to have one!
I have a heavy car (Mazdaspeed6) and I used to drive a light car (Civic) My heavy car is much faster and a better performer than the light car. But whenever I go back to that Civic, I remember how fun it is throwing a light, small car around. That's why I'm waiting until the HiPo/Halo cars are announced before I make a final decision. Plus, at that point several years from now, there appears to be a couple interesting additions to the affordable sports car segment.
