But in 1988, Honda offered a CRX HF that got 4.2 l/100km. Of course it weighed less than 900 kilograms. My point is that cars serve different purposes and technological advances aren't really comparable across platforms.
Also in no era can anyone call a 3800 pound / 1720kg car light.

I pumped it quickly into google and got 9, weird. In regards to weight, i get 1550KG for the X1 and 1530KG for the Saab from AUTO123.com .
If it really is 200KG heavier than the Saab then that is staggering given the proportions of both vehicles.
