<br />
Here's some very exciting news, especially if you're into that whole forced-induction <strike>cult</strike> thing: <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/ford">Ford</a> is reportedly set to show off its new four-cylinder <a href="http://autoblog.com/tag/ecoboost">EcoBoost</a> engine under the hood of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/12/16/spy-shots-ford-edge-and-lincoln-mkx-redesigns-caught-nearly-nak/">overhauled-for-2011 Edge</a>. To refresh you memory, EcoBoost is Ford speak for turbocharging plus direct injection. In the case of the 3.5-liter EcoBoost found in cars like the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/07/21/first-drive-2010-ford-flex-ecoboost-delivers-more-than-just-a-b/">Ford Flex EcoBoost</a>, the forced induction, direct injected motor makes much more power than the naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 (355 horsepower compared to 262 hp), yet gets identical fuel economy (16 city/22 highway). <br />
<br />
The 2.0-liter EcoBoost that <em>The Detroit News</em> promises is coming in the substantially refreshed Edge is said to be as powerful as a 3.0-liter V6. We'll take that to mean about 240 or so horsepower. Sure, that's not a very exciting power figure in the Edge, but it will probably make for some sexy fuel economy figures. And just image how thrilling this news will be when the 2.0-liter EcoBoost <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/focus">Focus</a> comes out? Or, Mulally willing, an EcoBoosted <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/fiesta">Fiesta</a>! Even a <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/fusion">Fusion</a> with this new motor (and a manual transmission) would be very, <em>very</em> welcome. We should know much more next week in <a href="http://autoblog.com/category/chicago+auto+show">Chicago</a>.<br />
