I'd say that's a debateable point. If the new model were to be called "32i" or something I'd say it would be more likely to effect the value of 30i directly. But with the 28i namplate (assuming that's indeed what it will be called, which sounds likely at this point) the new model could just as easily be perceived as a step down from the prior years. Also, while some people will welcome the turbo I4, there will still be a contingent willing to settle only for the older naturally aspirated I6.
