I'm wondering if there wasn't a tax on displacement that kept the 
motors at 1.8 when they could have gone up by 0.2.

Also, there are the Cabbies to consider; they often kept the OLD 
chassis (and certain associated parts) around. To use up the left 
overs in the parts bin I'm thinking.

Lastly, is there an EPA problem with switching over to Motronic a 
platform that has been sunsetted. No reason to get it all re certified 
with it getting put to pasture. <sniff> <sniff>
