Problem is, removing content increases cost ... especially when you have to design & validate a new component that does the same thing as the existing one (for example, fixed or manually adjustable seats vs power seats). And unless you're gutting the interior there simply isn't 400 lbs available to pull out while having a car that still has mass market appeal. If there were, GM would have cut it before the car went into production.
