+1 on the above questions and second...

I'm an engineer, I know that compromises had to be made to meet a certain margin, price target, target audience, manufacturing issues, etc.

What is the one thing that you wish you would not have had to compromise on? For example, they had to lower the rev limiter from 8000 rpm to 7500 rpm due to fuel efficiency, etc. Basically, what's the one thing you had to eliminate that was on the initial concept?

Last, thanks for taking time out of your day to inform the 86 fans.
