You raise an interesting point Ian which raises the issue of safety versus efficiency. I read somewhere a while back the the VW Golf GTi MkV was double the weight of its MkI ancestor. Aside from the creature comforts, a significant amount of the extra mass is related to safety features. Another one is Swedish-made cars with 'always-on' headlights irrespective of their target market needs.

So given the priorities of a car manufacturer, is safety above efficiency ? Is 'saving the planet' more important than saving a life in an RTA ?
