Japanese Car Zone - View Single Post - Are smaller Turbocharged engines the new trend from now on?

I would forsee such a trend happening, FI engines are all after all far more efficient. Those being more hardcore will still go for NA, but for me I like the torque figures for a FI engine, together with the reduced fuel consumption.

Just to prove how capable FI engines are, the 335i crawls dangerously near to the M3's figures even though it has a lower price, a smaller displacement and lower fuel consumption.

The future Golf GTI, I believe, will have a smaller engine if I remember correctly from what Yannis told me.
