Seems like they still want to EcoBoost, just not as big anymore (which means the Fusion platform will likely have to go on one hell of a diet, unless they're happy with what the new platform weighs :huh:)

Yeah saw that... if it's priced right it could give cars in its class (and even some above) a run for their money, but my guess is close to (if not over) $40K :ph34r:
Only way I'd be able to upgrade to that would be winning the lottery and since that's as likely as me growing a mullet :P Project "Fusionator" is still a go for 2009...
