right. where most people are replacing timing belts, you're replacing an engine. i don't care about the fact that they consume oil, they're supposed to, or else they couldn't work at all. but i'd prefer a 3000 lb. sports sedan to get better mileage than my truck. they do have an awesome transferrable powertrain warranty (8 year/100000 mile) though. but i wouldn't want to be in ownership of one when that runs out.
