09+ =

3.5L J35Z6 (280hp) V6
3.7L J37A4 (305hp) V6 (SH-AWD)

Curb weight 3,699 lb (1,678 kg) (Base)

As per Wiki

But the new ones are heavier, just like the RL so they're not any faster than the older ones.

BMW has been doing the same thing, but at the same time, adding more than enough power to make them faster.

Still the wrong way to build a car though.
