if you think about it... yes you are right. but just day to day driving wasnt bad with the V6 and i guess you dont really think about the weight.
but when you really think about it... its as if you would of gotten better MPG if you had a bigger lets say V8 engine that didnt have to scream every time you gas it.
and its most likely the heavy weight stress that made most of the parts fail.
