Sorry your argument doesn't hold up

Carb cars by design are just more prone to fires 

Period

Whether they be Ferrari or US cars

Even carbureted airplane engines catch fire 

As an A&P mechanic and having worked on a plethora of engines I speak from experience 

The mere fact the a carburetor float can stick and have fuel flood the intake speaks volumes 

Add ignition and the rest is history 

Read FIRE!

Fuel injection is smarter,economically and safer

Other than the engine being behind the driver making leaking gas smells less evident than a front engine car,  I don't see the carbed 308 any more prone to engine fires than any other carbed car.  The CIS injected cars with brittle injection lines are a more likely candidate for an engine fire.

I don't know anybody here in the UK who would say maintenance on an Esprit is cheap! Than again a full cambelt service on a 328 here is 800 - 1200.00 pounds for quality work and you guys pay HOW Much in the USA for the same?
