Unless they use lighter weight materials and ballon the cost to $35 to 40k. Then that would be interesting.

Well you can add most of that 250lbs back in for the Suby version as it will have AWD. Also like you mention saftey regulations are strict now and by 2013 who knows how much more will have to be standard which will increase weight. I'm guessing 3200-3300lbs for this car at the end of the day.
