AUI XR6 manual 1520Kg Auto 1553KG
AUI XR6 VCT manual 1615Kg Auto 1644KG
AUI XR8 manual 1624Kg Auto 1657KG
AUI Forte 1515KG Forte wagon 1598KG
AUI futura 1525KG Fairmont 1531KG Fairmont Ghia 1650KG.

AUII got more sound deadening and stuff and probably got heavier but the specs stayed the same.

I can say on WSID scrutineering lane 1 weighbridge my AUII Fairmont wagon weiged in at 1650kg
