The original Dodge Neon was going to be a DI 2 cycle but because of the witch hunt against lean burn and Nox it got shelved at the last moment.

The car got tremendously better fuel economy as a DI 2 cycle but due to NoX it was shelved.

Dodge might have been viewed here in a better light had that design been produced but lean idle and midrange were considered defects and not celebrated,

Too bad really. Imagine all of the Dodge Neons on the road getting 10mpg better and weighing 100lbs less?
