Show me; because from what I understand just about any motor you could by from any manufacture in this day an age are just as complex (as to your point with the Honda Fit example). I'm not arguing to argue. I can't think of a single example of a "simple engine design" from anyone currently in production; up to and including the GM LSx series of V8's and probably the oldest engine platform in existence, GM's 3600 series V6. Everything's evolved

For everything they got wrong on this car, they got a lot right. The whole car doesn't suck, just one system within the engine. Honestly the rest of the car works brilliantly. That was my point to your response. I was having a rare, "let's not throw the baby out with the bath water" moment. My evil twin brother will be back shortly...
