I already conceded that if it is a DI engine then it's doable and very realistic (which I also added would hike the price up considerably). If it isn't, you show me an engine with 5.0L or less of displacement that achieves close to 400HP without an extreme cam/head/high compression and I'll again concede. AND it has to at least give a nod to cafe standards by being at LEAST 18 mpg average. Then there's the serious unknown of weight. Are they going to be able to ignore safety standards for another year and have to re-design the car again in 3 years anyway?
If you really believe they can do all of that, then you have to convince me that they will somehow spend the millions to develop that engine, plus the much-heralded ecoboost R&D without passing the costs along to the consumer. The cost is going to hike to pay for this, if it's even possible.
