Return of the slant six?

If you read the original article from Allpar.com they're saying it will most likely be more similar to one of the current Fiat 4-bangers with 2 cylinders added than anything else. And you can all bet it's going to have 4 valves per cylinder, overhead cams, plastic intake yadda yadda, you can't really build a modern engine without those things anymore unless it's a big V-8 (LS and Hemi, that's it lol). I don't even remember the original article mentioning anything about slanting the engine although it's very common practice now, seems like typical news media romanticizing the facts.
