Thing is, Dave, this thread has already covered a bit where it was
pointed out that the Europeans tow their gliders around behind 1.6L
hatchbacks without problems, so maybe the extra weight thing is overrated.
I have some video from some World Championships in Poland in the 1970's
showing an outlanding retrieve behind a VW Beetle. Were they doing something
wrong?

Again, the Europeans don't seem to have a problem with that. A Commodore-
sized vehicle is viewed as an ostentatious luxury over there, and the
French regularly cram four people and all of their luggage into microscopic
Peugeots for their summer holidays. Perhaps you're following ideal gas
laws, and your requirements have expanded to fill their container.
I remember having a conversation with an American farmer who vowed and
declared that he couldn't do his job with anything smaller than his
8 litre, four ton pickup truck. Showing him the utes that aussie farmers
use in way more rugged conditions was an eye opener for him, and he
realized that perhaps his huge-vehicle upbringing and his view of what
everyone else around him was doing had clouded his assessment of his
requirements. Maybe the same is happening for you.

Yeah, whatever.
