I wish VAG would combine all this with it's cylinder deactivation system and CNG propulsion.
Perspectives for CNG in the European market got kinda dark due to the sanctions against Russia, but I still believe there's a good market opportunity for investments on biomethane. Anyway, it's still cheaper to manufacture a spark-ignited engine and its related emissions-control devices are also less of a PITA.
