I'm with you on that! A good case-in-point is the VW Golf - It's just an
overgrown barge of a car now - It's lost the "hot hatch" of its youth. In
fact, the current ones have less poke than the originals!!! More power but
more lard.

True ! Looks like a 356, but with far *LESS* class IMO, but the 356 was
designed with a bit of 40's-50's standards (some points are of course
similar to a VW, but also to a Renault 4CV IMO).

I was surprised to see that a 2002 206 2.0HDi (with AC fit) was 30kg heavier
than a 1988 405 SRi, with no AC, but still... Yes mate, 1070kg ! When I
think my brother's '91 205 DTurbo is given for 925kg... 350kg less for
similar performances (fuel ammount, top speed) !
