whats the chances of it coming to the states?

[burn_your_money]

less then 1% is my guess

Not that I'd buy one anyways

more like, who can afford to buy one? besides, its 2010 now, emissions laws officially suck even more. i bet that car would have about 4 catalytic converters and 8 particulate filters if it ever makes it over here.

Naive question here:
how do they accomplish a 16 valve engine with a single cam? How is there enough lobe space or what sort of lifter set-up is used nowdays?

think of how a honda D series has 16 valves, they have a single cam with 8 lobes on it. each lifter is Y shaped and operates 2 valves. might be something similar to that?

My subaru justy has 3 cylinders and 9 valves, and yup they use a Y shaped rocker running the two intake valves.
