2gs are heavier bcu those years came with lots of options, especially the Automatic DSMs. the ones i see up here in minnesota gots every option, power everything. also, every AWD car is heavy. 1g are lighter prolly becuz of what the car is made of, aluminum metal and all the other sorts of metal of the car. i dunno, but im pretty sure the 1g is lighter bcuz it had less options compared to the 2gs. im pretty sure theres ALOT more why 2gs are heavier than 1gs

1g gsx = 3186lbs
2g gsx = 3197lbs
Where is the difference?????
and check at the dimensions of the car, you are not going to find to many differences, not even with the 3g

i dont know if the 1g come with all leather seats also but those seats are 40lbs a peice so that is part of the reason, and the hood i swear that is at least 40lbs and that is under est.
