What you say is simply not true. Did you even do any research?

Here's a data point:

The curb weight of a 2020 Chevy Impala two-door is about 3700 pounds.
The curb weight of my 1974 Chevy Impala two-door was 4068 pounds.

You're a hypocrite; you have NOT committed to zero petroleum because
you still own and regularly use a petrol driven vehicle "Baby".

You recently posted that charging your electric vehicle only provides
a range of 70 miles. Sounds like your electric car will shortly be on
the scrap heap (along with your various careers, relationships and
being a landlord).

You don't need any car. You never go anywhere that you can't go to
pedaling a bike. And if you want exercise in the winter get yourself
skiis and do real Nordic Trecking, your Nordic toy wastes petroleum
from generating electric to operate it, same as your high wattage
audio equipment for blasting fakeo music on schizzo electric
instruments. If you were really serious about saving petrol you'd
learn to play a piano, castinets, a harmonica, and a ukelele.

Vehicles have become lighter but they are driven three times as many
high speed miles, and I see lots of mega ton P/Ups with only the 300
pound driver and zero payload, nothing saved.

Some interesting stuff about the shape/size of old and new cars, overlays photoshopped. A current model Buick is *far* more space - efficient than the monstrous 1959 Cadillac, those old huge 50's - 70's sedans might have been big, but pretty poor ergonomics. Of course it is somewhat "apples and oranges", as the current Buick is not the RWD four - door sedan of yore. What is interesting that many of today's vehicles are shape - wise very reminiscent of 1930's cars.

The Changing Shapes of Cars, 1932-2020: The Buick Encore Overlaid On Some Earlier Cars

"CC reader and Cohort poster Chris Cieslak sent me an overlay he made in Photoshop of a current Buick Encore and a more recent car, inspired by seeing the two on the street. I liked it and encouraged him to make some more, including this one with the classic 59 Cadillac. Yes, these are perfectly to scale. And guess which one has much better accommodations for its passengers? These Cadillacs (and others from this vintage) are surprisingly cramped, in todays standards...

Starting with a 1932 Ford. Looks so old fashioned, tall and short...But its almost exactly the same height and length of the Encore. And similar ground clearance. But theres not even a comparison in terms of comfort and space, as the Fords body sits way up on top of its frame and is much narrower...

From the comments section:

Lets compare width now and tell me which is roomier. Those 50s and 60s Caddys will have you beat hands down with headroom to wear your fedora while driving. Plus, traveling over potholes and poor roads is silky smooth, unlike anything available today. Different times.

Paul Niedermeyer

No question the 59 Cadillac is wider. But unless youre carrying three, which is very uncomfortable, the extra width is quite wasted.

As to headroom, youre quite mistaken. The 59 Cadillac has shockingly poor headroom, due to the it sitting on top of a frame and the low roof. Good luck wearing a fedora, unless youre short. The last time I sat in one a few years back, I was shocked at how cramped I felt. It might have been fairly roomy for 1959 standards, but not for modern standards.

As to the ride, thats debatable too. If you like wallowing, yes, it wallowed better. But €œhandling€� is not in its brief..."
