The PC car is just as unidentifiable as a production car as the DP is. We need to find what the series wants from the class long-term and change it for the future, not say it’s going away in 2016 just because someone in the series thinks it does not make business sense.

While he mentions the "manufacturer involvement" there (engine variations?), it all sounds like he wants the cheap FLM09 to stay on forever... I mean, if we still have that ancient Oreca racing in 2016 after being debuted in 2009 (or actually earlier due to the chassis being slowed down old P1 Courage), well then they are really following the IndyCar route...
