EUREKA:

The 4-cylinder 180 hp engine is a gateway engine- its too expensive to sell at $33,000.

Specs: 4-cylinder, 180 hp, 200 lb-ft, 23-33 mpg.

Now substitute in the new 3-cylinder engine they've been preparing.

Specs: 3-cylinder, 180 hp, 200 lb-ft, 35-45 mpg.

Same horsepower, 50% better mileage.

Guess what will be introduced in 2015 or so.
