It did surprise me that even here in Brazil, with a quite conservative market for subcompact cars, 3-cyls in the 1.0L range became more popular since 2012. IIRC by now GM is the only major automaker that doesn't offer a 3-cyl 1.0L engine in Brazil. OTOH it did surprise me that Fiat recently released a 3-cyl that still relies on the 2-valve per cylinder layout while the other contenders now feature 4-valve per cylinder.
