What I'd really like to see is a very thorough comparison, either by an American publication (MT, Jalopnik, R&T) or one of ours- between the 3.5 Ecoboost and Duratecs versus our straight sixes, sometime before the latter dies.
It's a very long shot but if the straight six had better fundamental qualities (noise, idle, moving parts); and the data showed it would could be less costly to make it a class leader then perhaps Dearborn could take the dies somewhere and continue its development instead of the larger V6. It just seems ironic that the engine with the superior layout dies , while Jaguar and Merc see the error of their ways and are switching back. Just a thought, maybe we could start a petition for the comparo- it would get noticed and, while a long shot, stranger things have happened. |
