Three cylinder, 1000cc turbocharged.....engine of the year ? I hope I'm not reduced to driving a vehicle with an engine smaller than many motorcycle engines.
Although the way gas prices are going...somehow it wouldn't surprise me if this type of engine was in a future car.
I'm not crazy about turbos or superchargers....would rather have more cubic capacity and more cylinders.
We've managed to decline the little roller skate cars so far but for those who prefer them, this engine in a Fiesta sounds like it will be a good thing. I'd like to see Ford offer a 5.0L V8 Ecoboost. With what the 3.5L produces, I can only imagine it would be quite a beast!
