I'm still one of the classic car guys who would never consider EFI in a classic car. That would entirely defeat one of the primary advantages of these cars, their simplicity. Overdrive, however, isn't a bad idea at all.

I'm still boggles by the value people are putting on 993 Proeschea and NSXs and the like. With that kind of upswing, the Insight might follow but I don't think the average millennial is going to be thinking Insight when he's coming to buy a car.
