In my experience, the whole "better efficiency" claim for four cylinder turbos goes right out the window when driven in anything approaching an enthusiastic manner.

Better on the EPA test machines? You bet.

Better in real life for actual B-Car owners? Nope. Likely only on long, steady state, highway trips.

I'm leaning gently towards ordering an 11 the moment that it is announced that 12's will be equipped with the T4. But a lot of times when something is cancelled like the I6, people initially think it will become rare and coveted, and it turns out 5 years down the line that nobody wants anything to do with it.

I doubt, however, that will ever be the case with the venerable I6 engine!
