I believe theres a big push to lower weight to increase efficiency now. Especially with Ford. Their new fiesta is 40kgs lighter then the previous version. Its also why they are downsizing engines and putting bigger turbos on instead. Downsizing is the trick to losing overall weight as well. For every kilo you lose from the engine the whole car loses 2 or 3.

Its also the reason for aluminium engine blocks. I feel a bit sorry for all the car manufacturers, no one ever hears what their up to.
