Practice the art of "weight reduction".

I have a bycycle that's lighter than the G. Doesn't mean it does anything better as a result.

i wasnt concerned about performance so much as...why is it so heavy. but i checked the 335i and it weighs around 3500, the CTS coupe (ugh) is about 3800, so I guess the G isn't that bad. It just surprised me at first. I thought the accord would be pretty heavy but it's actually not too bad. For reference, the TSX weighs 3479 for the base model, 3680 for the v6 with tech package
