I agree that FI is the future. Just about every manufacturer is going to it, in some cases for every car that they sell.

I personally don't have anything against turbos in theory, although I do worry about reliability, extra complexity, and maintenance costs down the line (used to own a Corrado G60, and had to rebuild the supercharger - not apples to apples, to be sure, but has made me a bit leery of FI in general).

But to say that there is no perceivable difference between NA & FI? Well, that's just crazy.
