Even in my country, where new car buyers tended to be much more conservative, now I see lots of cars with downsized engines featuring both a turbocharger and direct injection, even when a larger naturally-aspirated engine with port injection is avaliable at a lower price. When downsizing started to become consolidated here, it was even often pointed out as an excuse to avoid lifting the ban on Diesel engines for cars and some light-duty utility vehicles.
