I don't see how this follows. The Merc is an evolution of last year's design, while the 2017 Honda is obviously a ground-up effort. If we roll with the idea that the 2016 Honda was the heaviest, the new PU could still technically be heavier than the current Merc
and lighter than last year's Honda.
Unless we see implication that the new Honda is lighter than the new Merc, I don't see a reason to get ruffled.
