well I'm still totally thinking a NA engine will remain but perhaps there could be a 2nd engine on offer - NA along with an optional FI one - I just don't see how Tada-san could make a business case to recreate the same exact car with just a slight bump in torque. I have a hard time believing going from a 2.0 to 2.4 4 cyl would really change much.. Look at the Z, going from the 3.5 VQ to the 3.7 didn't appreciably give it more HP or torque and that is with a 6 cyl..similarly, the S2K's displacement bump was just an incremental difference.

huh, what power? our twins have power, it is only low end torque that is "missing" for some people..
