Other than a work truck or an entry level coup no frills cars don't exist in the US. American's love gadgets.
If you are referring to electronic controls of the engines and transmission well new tech is new tech. You can't get maximum efficiency, power and protect the environment without algorithms. Now you have new points of failures. Computer programs have bugs, chips fry and sensors go bad. A gasoline and probably diesel as well fueld car cannot be sold in the US without an emissions control computer. I bet your average farm tractor on a showroom floor today has computer controls. If not it soon will.
