So, from that we can assume that a Chevy Caprice, with all the features that make its Australian cousin a luxury car, shouldn't weigh more than 4150 lbs. And the Taurus SHO, also with luxury features, comes in at ... 4361. Lets call it a 200 lbs difference, give or take a few.
Forgot to add, the Holden Statesman (which they also call a luxury car btw) is listed as weighing 1822 kg (4016 lbs). I've heard that the Caprice over here will be what the Aussies know as the Statesman but I just sorta figure if they have a large RWD sedan named the Caprice, it would make sense.
