Very aware of that, yep. They ditched it when they refreshed the car, and, like you say, it wasn't really a true steer by wire system to begin with.

I'm sure that'll be a very fine product when it hits the market six years from now. I stand by what I say though - we're still a long way from steer and brake by wire becoming the default setup. Lots of great vehicles designed to be driven hard are coming between now and then.
