Technology is not a problem, at all. Dumbproofing it enough is the real issue. Sure a manual transmission might be easier for a shade-tree mechanic to deal with, while a properly mantained automatic could eventually reach a lower total cost of ownership under certain circumstances. When it comes to engines, just take a look at how some vehicles in Mexico are available only with the simplest naturally-aspirated engine possible, even when versions available elsewhere are either fitted with turbocharged engines or retain the naturally-aspirated ones just for some very specific export markets.
