This is starting to sound like the knuckle-chewing design decisions of the late 1980s again. Ford dithered for years whether to put the Mustang on the Thunderbird chassis, but it was too heavy so they ultimately stuck with the Fox body once more. Chevrolet likewise punted their platform decision into the early 1990s and ultimately re-used the F body. I remember the auto mags expressing very quizical reactions to both decisions. The writers like to talk about something "new", not something "re-booted."

I generally agree though that if the engineers are given a chance to re-think Zeta, that some weight savings could be found.
