...and the systems work pretty well. We put about 1000 miles on a rented Chevy Traverse last year and I didn't even realize it had auto stop/start until I was sitting in the front passenger seat while my brother was driving. Didn't notice it at all while I was driving the car.
It's the complexity I don't like. It's one more thing to go wrong, costs $$$ to fix, and it's only there so the car maker can achieve its CAFE goal. Any fuel savings for the consumer is negligible.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
