Cars can be made light and strong. You just need to work at it.

Ask yourself what an F1 car costs, and then ask yourself if you really want to pay for that technology in your daily driver. I have a light car (3132 lb) that is fairly strong, but it was expensive - more than most people want to pay.

Also note that one of the ways that the F1 cars protect their occupant is by crumpling and shedding parts, requiring a complete rebuild, or even tossing out what ever's left of the car once it stops moving. Like a crash helmet, they're designed to be used only 1 time in a crash.

I had a diesel car for 18 years that got 41 MPG. I may buy another diesel. I understand diesel hybrids are coming out soon.
