What do you consider soon, these regs would be for '15-'20 so would encompass next gen versions of current cars, possibly the one after too.
With stricter emissions/mpg laws coming into force, not only for individual models, but across the range, manufacturers are going to be forced into significant weight and engine size reductions, running a larger normally aspirated engine is going to be difficult without a form of hybrid system to offset the poorer emissions/mpg.
