Apart from many bells and whistles being quite pointless and obviously a part of the weight penalty, it seems like some engines are not just bigger in displacement but also in the amount of cylinders.

Do we have to wait 10 years before it becomes cost effective to work on currently modern econoboxes?
I'm not so sure if the current penalty boxes are going to be as cost-effective to work around as their older counterparts. Maybe resorting to an aftermarket programmable EFI in order to be able to slap their engines into an older car is going to be easier...
