Looks like you have to agree to disagree with Scott, because it sounds like this is exactly what they will try to do - despite the skeptics. If they do, then its a severe coup over their competition. If not it will be a failed experiment.
How many of the check boxes for engine characteristics will the hit, miss or exceed and by how much only time ( 2 years ) will tell. And of that score sheet, only time will tell what the Masses accept.
