I'm also pretty interested to see some details as far as engine specs. Direct injection holds a tremendous amount of promise for boosted applications due to the fact that it can partially "compensate" for the tendency toward knock on pump fuel at higher boost levels.

Personally, I'd either like to see a boosted engine, or a performance minded mid displacement engine. If driveline durability is in question, we might be more likely to see a high revving NA engine than a boosted engine in order to keep torque in a more manageable range without providing too much disappointment in the power department... That's my hope at least.

As long as the power output ends up in the department of 10lb/hp or better for at least one factory model I'll be pretty pleased.
