Driving pleasure
Whether mated to a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission, the SKYACTIV-X engine delivers an instant response when you put your foot down. It pulls like a turbodiesel, but revs like a normally aspirated gasoline engine.

maybe not rushing into it because the option selection overseas is selling way below projections
plus some are aware of the past history of radical technology here today, gone tomorrow
it does seem a bit more legit than say; Miller cycle.
Some people may wonder if the higher initial cost coupled with the cost difference of recommended minimum mid-grade fuel is going to play out enough to bother chancing it. There’s an SC and other stuff highly dependent on pcm processing and other e-controls that could add up to headaches and added costs of maintenance and replacement.
