I wish! That one had 17 interconnected computers and a fly by wire throttle; sound familiar ? 
My previous Volvo 740 Turbo had very little wizardry over and above the ABS and the EFI ECU. It used to die by cooking its injector suppression relays into failure.
In my (limited) experience of cars, they all went wrong; it's just the more modern they are the more exotic and unfathomable the faults are Dr. Ian Malcolm:
"Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
Transgenic tomato anyone?
