Best All Around Motor?

[C-10 simplex]

UPDATE:

The current toyota situation is exactly one the reasons why i have, without regret, chosen to stay with carburetion and conventional distributor. (and still get decent mpg).

The toyota engineers aren't even sure what the problem is (or maybe they're not telling) Either way, toymoco screwed up bigtime.

a)Screw CAFE standards, what really should be outlawed are: drive-by-wire,wireless systems that control ANY driving function.

b) Other manufacturers are not immune to this problem either; My parents' deville has unintended acceleration also----small pulsing at low speeds. Not a major issue--the brakes can easily overcome this, but unintended acceleration nontheless. The point i'm trying to make is i don't feel electronics and drive-by-wire on cars is still not a good thing yet.


c) i've NEVER had a problem with a cable or linkage operated throttle system. Why do people always want to make things more complex than nessesary?
