Smaller and lighter could put me in a 6th gen, but I love my 2010.

The 6th gen is also supposed to be on the new Alpha platform for midsize/compact cars that the new ATS Caddy is going to be on. This should help keep weight down as well. Starting off on the right platform helps a ton. Currently, the 5th gen is on the Zeta platform which is mainly a full size sedan platform. I'd like to see it around 3400lb range. That way the real hardcore crowds can get near that 3000lb range. As long as there is room under the hood a smaller platform is more then welcome.

I do agree though that a less equipped or base ATS weighs less than 3,400. I love Alpha
