I have mixed feelings. Although I like my n/a (both of them), keeping up the rpms is only feasible in a place where you can really do it (i.e., the track.)

The TT motors will allow for real world everyday driving fun with explosive low end torque. In a crowded world with just the occasional open freeway on ramps, that's the appeal of FI motors.

Also environment, mpg, and weight and size, are now the real considerations for the mfgs. FI with DI is the only way to do it economically. The days of big displacement are over.
