BMW's 1.5 is more economical the otherwise identical 1.2.
VW Golf is dropping the 1.4 in favor of a more economical 1.5.
1.5's in this segment aren't what I'd call downsized, but the smaller engines are being dropped. If going smaller was the right way to get, the new engine would be a 1.3.
It will be interesting to see what come out of RDE.
