When I read people were letting mechanics tear their motors apart, I basically said thats insane and wait it out (go back and read what I posted when.) I'm pretty sure I said it would be a reflash fix.

I guess the dealer is too far for me so I did my own 1000 mile service today (finally got a day off work.)

Turns out my CEL was just a MAP sensor which is nothing.

Now I went over the engine pretty well this weekend. Its an amazing engine for a $25k car.

I really think people have been over-reacting to this whole thing, including the dealers. If you bought the car stick with it avoid the DEALER. Trying to get out from under it with the Lemon law or whatever is just stupid.

If the CEL isn't blinking IGNORE it. Its a brand new freakin platform wait till the infrastructure is in place.

This car is a success, but people over-reacting will destroy it like ever other time something new and creative hits the market.

Its no wonder the good cars don't make it to the US. This is a perfect example of why.

My car doesn't need a state emmisions sticker till labor day 2013, at that time I will take it to the dealer. They will do what is needed and I will get a new sticker.

The rest of you who bought the car and changed their mind or panicked/whatever need to sell the car to someone who appreciates it.
