I removed myself for my slot a while back, thinking I'd rather wait to see what happens with this thing.
Coming back to read about it, I'm glad I did. I still want one, but I want to be sure what I'm buying, to be honest.
The problems with the extra (much extra!) weight, the problems with the belt, and the solution to the combination of those two problems - to detune the engine by 25 percent (!) makes me glad I did, even if that means I have to wait some more.
I know none of it is absolutely certain, but if the reasoning is that the belt is screwed with more power and/or weight, it sort of limits its fun factor quite a bit to me.
I'll be following the tidbits of information you guys provide closely, because I so want one.
Oh, and I'm disappointed about the reported "huge turning circle" too. It's a small car, I'd prefer it if it could have a turning circle on par with, or better than, a Lupo.
