    I do, I saw the vid on another site. But I for one am very excited about Fords new Eco Boost cars. I hope they come out soon, they could be a good replacement for a lightly modded Marauder.

    I'm just surprised no one else responded. Everyone is always complaining on how Ford should do something new, and then with this roles out, no one shows support if they like it or not?

    I like it I like it. They should have done it long ago, I hope it's not too late. Sounds like very promising tech.

    I can't see why they have to wait another year. Who knows, what if GM has something similar, and releases it before them?

    I would def get the Lincoln MKS but it would never replace the Marauder.

    It sounds like Eco Boost will not just be a one or two car option, they plan on using it on a lot of cars. I even read about putting it in the explorer and many more. I think they want to get it down before they start putting them in a number of cars. It would be embarrassing and potentially if their new line of motors ended up having a design flaw that is rather expensive to fix. I don't mind waiting a little longer for it as long as they do it right.
