Why would anyone want the hastle?? Also 25 mpg highwayin a Tuarus is nothing to brag about.
In the Taurus, the EcoBoost is more of a performance piece (power of a V8 (365HP) and the MPG of a V6 (25 MPG)). Not too shabby.
EcoBoost will be in every model by 2015 (believe that is right) to mirror that models top of the line engine but provide better fuel economy. For instance, the new Explorer has a V6 as the top of the line and will receive a Ecoboost 4 that matches the HP but delivers better MPG.
Other models, like the Focus, have a performance Ecoboost engine that don't necessarily get better MPG. I believe (not totally sure) that on models like the Focus and Taurus they will eventually get a smaller Ecoboost that will provide the same power as their top of the line (non-Ecoboost) engine but better MPG.
Make sense?
