Point taken about me not knowing the us availability. Just I hav had experience of my mezzo or Brompton not fitting small car boots at all. There may be simular bike available in the states.ie Moulton gitex. A dibasic R4 can weigh 13kg approx if you take extras like stand and dynamo off.
I just wounder if neither bike will fit. I knew I guy with a sports car and the non folding bike was the only option to fit his car.
