New cars are getting heavier not only because of size and ameneties, but there have been quantum leaps in safety over the past 15 years. As well as significant increase in chassis stiffness, all of which are all bound to add on weight.
Let's not forget too, performance and displacement are increasing pretty much across the board while car manufacturers have taken huge steps with emissions. More restrictive exhausts and cats sap power, forcing increases in displacement.
