    Ummm.. okaaaayyy.... Would be more accurate to say they have officially made up their own definition.
    Yeah. The official definition is accurate. But by that definition, the Coda would be a gas guzzler to end all gas guzzlers.

    There's no defending a stupid name.

    Right. My complaint is that while the word "coda" means end, it does not actually mean or even imply "so that a new one can begin" no matter how much they seem to want it to. And now their ad copy claims that falsehood as "the official definition".

    Nice - except nobody cares whether 80% is wasted in inefficient gas engines. Couldn't they bring themselfs to even mention environment or "energy security" ?
