the us version will have cats.

i have an 84 500sec, and i have found it to be on a par with the 617 diesels for being easy to keep on the road.

the fi on it is pretty simple and durable and there is no computers. no abs or leveling suspension either.

it will get 19 mpg running 65 and 70 on regular gas.

and it is quick if need be comfy and will cut a corner like a sportscar.

and they have an ac compressor that is miles better than those pitiful things on the 616 617 motors.
