Best Answer

Most people think older cars are heavier because they were made out of metal, but the truth is newer cars are heavier. The newer model are bigger than their older counterpart. The average car sold in the United States weighted 3,000lbs. vs. the average in 2005 weighted 3,600lbs. TheIt doesn't help that trucks/vans/suv's make up a larger % of the vehicles sold in the USA.

model: New weights -------- Old weighted

VW Golf 2014' 2860lbs 1983' 1785lbs.

Chevy Malibu 2014' 3400lbs 1964' 2850lbs.

Camaro SS 2014' 3720lbs. 1969' 3174lbs.
