This news is one of the things that made me go for the Norge I'm awaiting delivery on. I love the motor, and figure that the last year of a run is a good one to have. Sure, they could replace it with something "better", but then it's a whole new thing to work the kinks out of. I had my heart set on a stelvio for the longest time, but living in the middle of TX means about 8hrs to get anywhere remotely interesting, and the Norge can chew through miles better than the Stelvio (for me anyways). There's places in Big Bend that the Stelvio wouldn't be able to get to either, so the capabilities don't mean everything.
