That sounds like a really great car but I'd want to know how "basic" the
engine is, i.e. reliable mechanical injector operation vs electronically
controlled "fly by wire" with no throttle cable and all that.
Is it as vulnerable to EMP as the VW TDI's or is it largely mechanical with
electronics only used to fine-tune the fuel variables?? How about a
"limp-home mode" - how would that be accomplished if the electronics
hiccups?
