Gems such as;

"The electric power steering system has contributed to a 0.2L/100km reduction in fuel consumption. But the system weighs 1.3kg more than the hydraulic set-up it replaces."

" the V8 powered cars have asymmetrical driveshafts with the right side 1.4 times stiffer than the left for improved launch characteristics"

"The co-efficient of drag of the VF Commodore has been reduced from 0.330 to 0.309. That means it’s slipperier through the air, helping lower fuel use ."

Considering that GM have struggled to get the steering feedback in hydraulic systems to be anything but vague, one can only imagine how distant the electronic system will feel.

MAy as well use a trackball for the amount of feeling I expect it will return.
