    overweight rumor won't die

    In Ford's defense, it's awfully hard to keep a car's weight down these days because of all the safety requirements. In order to keep the cost down, they probably can't use many, if any, exotic materials to save weight. I remember when the re-designed T-Bird came out in 1989. The Ford execs...
