I agree.
However, most car companies add weight to their cars and bulk them up for ever-changing highway safety specs. North America, especially, has high standards for crash tests, etc. now and companies such as VW adhere to these rules so they can sell their cars in markets such as the US.
And this is why we have no car brands over here in the US that originated from China since their cars don't tend to withstand crash tests.
...Yadda Yadda.
