I can guarantee you that I'd become a dedicated fan if they once again when to turbos, let alone turbos and direct injection. Turbos are the future for production cars, and if FIA wants to get remotely close to trickle down technology, forced induction alone can help, as can DI, which I'm pretty certain will eventually become standard on all spark ignition engines.

BMW has recently committed to having their entire lineup turbocharged, and even more recently said that M cars will be turbo'd from now on as well. Ford has their Ecoboost V6 and incoming I4, VW/Audi has stuck with it and direct injection, etc. etc.

What better way to tell the treehuggers to "cram it in your ass" than having something that has such a big impact on power, yet helps emissions?
