On an emotional level, I am offended by compromises made in the design to please certain people who hate these cars and these engines. I can't go into any more detail.
That's fair enough. I was curious to know your motivations.

From my perspective, I see this as glass half-full. I'm impressed that in light of all the things you mentioned, they're still able to produce a potent engine of this output.

What's that philosophy topic, perspectivism? Relativism? I can't remember....
