[QUOTE="Kevin Lang, post: 992680, member: 65699"] So I've been looking into what I can do with the underpowered 4-cylinder 2012 Escape I've acquired, and I believe I've found that the 2013 Escape and Fusion both share the same engine options, none of which include any sort of 6-cylinder engine. Even if the 2.0L 4-cylinder EcoBoost engine is comparable to a V6, I'm not too keen on the EcoBoosted 4 cylinder engine in a SUV, even a small SUV. I remember reading that it was underpowered in the Edge. I wouldn't mind it in the Fusion, surely its better than the 4-cylinder engines I've gotten used to in sedans (Nissan, Toyota, Ford, Subaru), but even there if I were getting a new ride I'd want the EcoBoosted V6 AWD. I want "the power of a V8 with the thirst of a V6", not "almost the power of a V6 with slightly less thirst than a 4-cylinder" (to paraphrase the Ford EcoBoost commercials). [/QUOTE]
