I just bought a new car. It's a 6 cylinder BMW, dual turbo-charged engine with 300hp. Unfortunately, it only had 4 spark plug wires. I went to the dealer, and asked for the other two so that I could have all of the horses available, and I was told that the car performs equal to that of many domestic american autos, and that it gets me to work just fine. When I pressed them to get the full version of the engine, I was told that instead of my top of the line 3 series, I would need to upgrade to the 5 series for a little bit of money. I pointed out that my older 3 series had a smaller engine that worked better, and while they agreed, they still said that all of the new 6 cylinder engines came with only 4 sparkplug wires, and that they would not change.
Of course, this is just a parable, but guess which brand I would NOT buy next time?
“The other one is a biggie, and it's something very noticeable in the videos: touch sensitivity is pretty bad. Using the virtual keyboard proved to be far too painful, and we're pretty sure it wasn't multitouch-friendly.”
