Meh. I think if I wanted to mess around with a genuine Atkinson, I'd want it in a big ol' cast iron hit-and-miss engine. I like seeing all the moving parts at those slow speeds, just hypnotic.

But for in the car, it sounds like too much of a hassle and too many extra moving parts. So Mazda can keep their Millenia S and I'll just go how I'm going.
