Obviously the person who originally asked that question was talking about a mass shift to lighter vehicles, and not just a few individuals doing it here and there.

This packing on of steel has got to de-escalate one day, just like the nuclear arsenal of US and Russia did.
Ah, but Sir, I'd be safer in a 5000# car when others are driving around in their lunchboxes with an engine.

The person who asked that question was in marketing so he'd say that. I would if I were him but drive my 4000# car.

Sure thing. You go first.
