Thanks for the info,

I did not know about these extra safety reinforcements on U.S. cars. Maybe thats the last 100lbs that makes the U.S. spec 16V heavier. Glen, I know what you mean about those features. The Euro 16V's I have seen have power windows and other features for added weight.

Thanks,
Giancarlo
