Those are pretty good looking engines. I think we'll see more of this sort of tech in the future.

Hopefully they are reliable. Never liked the idea of relying on turbos. But, the gas mileage is damn impressive.

They're definitely little power houses for what little displacement they actually have.

Awesome and damn impressive regardless of whether you're a fanboy or not.

And I don't see anything impressive about a V6 that drinks fuel like a V8. Not to mention that GM has had this technology for years.

For me...I MUCH rather have a "simpleton" V8 that's cheaper to maintain and repair over a overly complex V6.

Hopefully they are reliable. Never liked the idea of relying on turbos. But, the gas mileage is damn impressive.

Not really...

4X4 Suburban mileage: 15/21 Combined 17
Flex TwinForce AWD: 16/21 Combined 18

I really don't see the advantage over a proper V8...so...if someone could explain them to me, that'd be great

For Matt, it isn't.

Daddy...look up.

It was a joke, man.

What are your thoughts on this engine?

I just posted them above this post.

I like what the ecoboost has to offer.... I think I'd have to drive one before I'd buy tho..
