Well that is a bummer, it has a timing belt instead of gear driven.

They automatically lost me right there. I have a vehicle right now that's staring at a 100,000 mile timing belt change at $1K or so. Never again will I buy anything that has a timing belt. I don't care if they hardly ever break, I'm not buying something that's going to require a scheduled high dollar maintenance. Most manufacturers got rid of timing belts 10-15 years ago, it's ridiculous that Ford is marketing a new engine with one.
