Depends on the feature and how well they can sell it. More efficient engines, no. More powerful engines, no. Fuel injection, turbochargers, etc..? No. But the early anti-lock braking systems did rather well, as did Oldsmobile's marketing of what's really a fairly ordinary engine: the Quad-4. And then there's the Ford Taurus effect. -- `-_-' Peter da Silva <peter@ficc.uu.net> <peter@sugar.lonestar.org>. 'U` -------------- +1 713 274 5180.
