I wonder how long Ford can hold back a direct injected version of the Coyote (16?). Are the efficiency gains simply not commensurate with cost or are they trying not to show the EPA all of their cards for fear of making current standards look easier than thought (which is silly on its face but I'm running out of rationalizations here)? A mpg improvement (as well as power) sure go a long way and I would hope that we are finally in a position to take advantage of them by 2016.

Thus far Ford has only employed Ecoboost to produce the power of a larger engine from a smaller engine. Following that logic it really only makes sense to go for DI if you are replacing something like Trinity. However, Brand X obviously has a DI V8 so anything is possible.
