When it arrives in the US later this year, the Miata will be offered with a 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G inline-four, producing 155 hp and 148 lb-ft of torque. Believe me, you won't miss those ponies. Yes, I realize that's a decrease of 12 hp, but hear me out: you get 8 more pound-feet, and the car weighs over 200 pounds less.

Clickbait doesn't generate views updating a 3 day old article, they put out a new one.
I think it's safe to say it's a derivative of the 2.0L already available but it seems to have been tweaked, likely for better responsiveness, the SkyActiv has been accused of being a bit of a bore.
