Yes, I believe the benefits of DI would outweigh the (seemingly) surmountable technical issues that are plaguing some current versions on the street right now. I have heard of the Audi powerplant issues, but that's pretty much it. Many other high-performance OEM makers are doing DI with apparently no issues.

Good to hear it may be coming to the G/Z, but still confounded by the lack of DI in the GT-R (or plans thereof). Understand the R&D costs on that engine were significant, but am curious on the design decision not to include.
