Sure, it's news to most of us in the U.S. However, until someone does a fair side-by-side comparison with other solutions such as PPG and MFactory, all the hype isn't that helpful, other than saying there's another product available. All the Albins stuff I've heard/read basically sounds like a polished sales pitch. Almost like someone cut and pasted the words off a brochure.

Also, one of the complaints about PPGs that folks throw out there are the high pricing. Who's to say that Albins won't be more expensive? One thing that I've pointed out in the various 6-speed versus PPG versus MFactory postings is what is the final cost? How much will it set back the person who's car that it's going into? You not only need to factor in the parts, there's install costs, downtime, etc.

Artie from Agile - Have you actually experienced Albins in a Subaru or a different car manufacturer? Just curious.
