I don't see any problem with it. There is and will continue to be, a market for small frugal engines despite our love for performance cars.

My Ford tractor has a 3 cylinder engine. Nothing new, been done since the late 1950s.

I'd love to have a big V8 that has two 3 cylinder engines in doors to power the power windows

a 3 cyl engine is now relevant news worthy material on fordforums!
the humanity, oh cruel world! guess we could be seeing limited edition mustangs soon weighing 4000lb with 1L 100HP turbo engines. hope they invent time machines so I can skip backwards or foreward past the coming era of toy engines.
