Disadvantages to the Miller cycle?

I've just been reading a bit about the Miller engine cycle, and Im a bit pressed for time at the moment so Ill keep it short. As much as I've read, no one seems to have brought up any disadvantages to the Miller cycle. However, there have to be some kind of significant disadvantages to it over a normal combustion engine otherwise it would be more widley employed yes? So my question is what are the disadvantages and if there aren't any significant disadvantages, why isn't the Miller cycle more commonly used in modern autos?
