Well, HCCI would be a pretty big advantage for freeway mpg, which would allow larger engines to be used. It also means you can run leaner at high load without overheating the cat, which means enthusiasts won't need to retune their ECU to squeeze that last bit of power out.

It would be nice to have a 2.5L NA engine instead of a laggy 1.5L turbo for example, but I feel like Mazda isn't going to use this to bring back high revving 6 cylinder engines. IMO, that would be the dream.
