It weighs 3042lbs. A Honda Civic weighs 2692lbs. That's a difference of 350lbs. So sure, they are heavier than a Civic or a Corolla but they are not "ridiculously heavy vehicles" seeing as they still weigh less than cars like the Honda Accord (3269lbs) or a Camry (3263lbs).And it has a drag coefficient of .25, which is among the lowest of any mass-produced vehicle. A Honda Civic is .26.Quit making false claims, especially if they can be proven wrong so easily.Sources: <a class="user" href="http://automobiles.honda.com/civic-sedan/specifications.aspx?group=dimensions" rel="nofollow">http://automobiles.honda.com/civic-sedan/specifica ...</a><a class="user" href="http://automobiles.honda.com/accord-sedan/specifications.aspx?group=dimensions" rel="nofollow">http://automobiles.honda.com/accord-sedan/specific ...</a><a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_drag_coefficient" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_drag_coeff ...</a><a class="user" href="http://www.toyota.com/camry/specs.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.toyota.com/camry/specs.html</a><a class="user" href="http://www.motortrend.com/cars/2010/toyota/prius/specifications/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.motortrend.com/cars/2010/toyota/prius/s ...</a>
