Maybe? But R&D is done and 2 years of production already happened. They nearly doubled the sales they expected the first year and are above average this year. they can run this platform one more year making wheel improvements for 2015, then year 16 for at a turbo. I'm sure but their experience with forced induction, it wouldn't be a high cost / high R&D issue.
