So how is the Sedan SI only 60+lbs?

I was just wondering how they managed to make the SI sedan only 60lbs more than the Coupe.. Does this mean the coupe is too heavy or??? Just want some opinions..

when i went to the dealer yesterday and actually test drove one.. And the MSRP was actually about 1200 over.. So i dont know if they are just trying to come up but the car was hella fun to drive.. i would still take my coupe over it but it was tight...didnt feel like a civic sedan at all

The sedan is only 1.9" longer than the coupe and 3" taller. So, there's a little more roof, a little more pillar, and some hinges/hardware for the two extra doors. The doors shouldn't add much weight since the coupe has longer front doors and sheet metal in place of the rear doors. Seems like about 60 lbs to me!
