In other countries you are also taxed on engine displacement so four cylinders are attractive if you want to compete globally. It also helps with new CAFE numbers.

In the U.S. there is usually a high take rate of larger engines and manual transmission when a sports car debuts but then that levels off and the smaller engine and autos' rapidly surpass it.
