Just like our national politicians, we avert the question with a different 
answer and more questions.

So. Will the customer ever want to have a functional heater? Will he ever 
want a hot air defroster? Will he be getting "ON" the turbo much? Is he willing 
to accept a slightly greater engine wear?

These questions, and their answers, should give you some guidance.
