akirby Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 No "all-new" Chevy truck engines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoonerLS Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 When do the new Chebbie boat anchors hit the market? To be eligible, an engine must be available in a production vehicle on sale within the first quarter of 2013 and with a base price of less than $55,000. I'm pretty sure their base price is under $55K, but will they be on sale by the end of March? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BORG Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) That 2.0L EB engine may not be high-volume, but it's the most platform versatile engine Ford has ever made. From Focus to Explorer, it's powering it all.n Kinda remarkable for a Detroit company. Edited December 14, 2012 by BORG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noah Harbinger Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I was really hoping the 1.6L EcoBoost were on the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) I was really hoping the 1.6L EcoBoost were on the list. Maybe next year, but between that or the EB10, I'd bet on the latter. Too bad about the issues with the EB16, I still think it's a great plant. Good Job Ford! Edited December 14, 2012 by Hugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I admit I'm a little skeptical about the EB 20 in the Explorer however, it's more powerful and efficient then the Colonge 4.0L so that's a win. The EB20 in a Taurus has almost the same power and better efficiency then a 1st gen LS 400. I know that's a while back in relative terms and how far the industry has come, it's still a great achievement. EB20 in the Edge is great but perhaps better in the Escape and best in the Focus ST. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford has a winner with this engine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Current applications: Focus, Fusion, Mondeo, Falcon, Taurus, Escape, Edge, Explorer, S-MAX, Galaxy, MKZ, MKT (Livery version), Range Rover Evoque, Land Rover Freelander 2/LR2, Jaguar XF, Jaguar XJ, Volvo S60, Volvo V60, and Radical SR3 SL racecar Edited December 15, 2012 by aneekr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
97svtgoin05gt Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 After test driving a Focus ST, call me a believer. If there was a way to go back in time, I would've waited to purchase my Focus and gotten an ST. The numbers don't work well for me to upgrade now, I checked into it. I wish I could.

MKII Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) I was really hoping the 1.6L EcoBoost were on the list. It was on the list (well on the list of the 41 contenders) The Ford Fusion 1.6L EcoBoost 6 MT, driven by Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter, is one of 41 contenders for the 2013 Ward's 10 Best Engines competition. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=qVVm5gfcvcE Edited December 18, 2012 by MKII Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, but for real, I still ask myself how VW gets away with not upping the power output on that engine in so many years (Golf R excluded)....
