There's two ways to interpret this sentence:

I hope it is not 1, and if it is 2 then again, I find this incredibly
unimaginative.
Is it really? For example, all modern cars use fuel injection. That doesn't make
carbureted cars unusable, I've driven them just fine for decades, but I sure do
prefer fuel injection. Most people prefer it so much that you can buy fuel
injection kits to replace the carburetors on most older cars.
I would not buy a new car with a carburetor.
Same goes for electronic ignition. Man, is that better than the old points/dwell
system.
