Agreed, glad my 3cyl has a chain although it can be noisier.
I know a couple people with Aveos their fuel economy is "not all that"

Here in the US, IMO fuel economy cars are never the bread and butter;

it's still trucks and SUV's , which are more or less now called crossover

vehicles. Seems the vast majority wants big flash rides they put

themselves deep in debt for.
