[QUOTE="Kevin Lang, post: 992684, member: 65699"] Checking the specs I do see that these turbocharged 4-cylinder engines have at least the same HP and torque as Ford's aged V6. I'm still wishing that there were a EcoBoosted V6 option for the Escape and the Fusion. There is something wrong with the highest-powered engine for a model year having less displacement than the lowest-powered engine for that year (2.5 NA vs 2.0 TC) in my perception. I just don't know about AWD with an EcoBoosted 4-cylinder engine. It just doesn't "feel right" to me. My Ford Escape and Ford Fusion use the same engine (4 cylinder NA 2.5). The Fusion is decently responsive, but the Escape can't get out of its own way. I can't help but think that even with the Ecoboost, the comparison will still be the same: the EcoBoost Fusion will be reasonably sporty, but the Escape will still struggle on the acceleration front.
