It's actually a semi-closed deck.

Plus I'm not too worried about a sleeved aluminum block failing at levels where an iron block wouldn't.

That being said, I'm still unsure about the X. I dont like that so far all the reviews say that it's lost it's character. I also hate the rear end, those tail lights look awful..
