Are you saying the steering is not mechanically connected to the wheel? It does have electronic assist that modifies "feel" based on driving mode (Touring, Sport, Track, etc.) but I don't think I would call that "fly-by-wire".

Well, I'll see what I'm up against as far as operating costs go. I don't expect it to be outrageous, but I'm not taking it to Jiffy Lube for service, either.
