I'm speaking about road cars in general..the whole thing just has not worked all that well IMO.... I was hoping for their diesel here in the US but I don't think it's available, and it's been years since it was introduced. Guess I'm a sucker for marketing schmoo.

In terms of AER, they just don't seem capable of producing a motor with any real reliability while making power at a respectful level.
