Well at least they have updated their webpage
But I'm still not sold. There's an awful lot of complexity, turbo, cylinder deactivation, dual-mass flywheel, and some kind of damping-clutch, in a 3-cylinder engine, just so that they can game the emissions standards.
Yet every "real-world" anecdote I've heard says that the fuel consumption increase stratospherically if you actually use the power the turbo provides.
