Message	you read? I was contesting calling it a "*MAJOR*" design feature. In the grand scheme of the overall car its more of a minor gimmick. The exterior styling was a MAJOR design feature. The suspension design in its entirety (w or w/o HICAS) is a MAJOR design feature. The VG30 is a MAJOR design feature. The twin turbocharger system is a MAJOR design feature. etc. You get my drift.
