OK, So your a Lexus/Toyota fan. That's as good a reason as any.
Don't dismiss that old tech so quickly. GM built a quad cam 32 valve V8 with input from Lotus. It was looking like being the replacement for the old Gen 2 small block and was used in the Corvette for a while. They went back to the drawing board and settled on a push rod wedge cylinder head design for the Gen 3 and Gen 4. No plans to change either as the design works incredibly well. The design of their wedge cylinder heads is very efficient.
