    Now that Ford Aust has dumped their Focus program, I wonder if they'll import the Ford Focus RS.

    "Ford is fully committed to working towards fuel economy leadership in every segment in which we compete, across local and imported vehicles. In fact, later this year we will introduce the most fuel-efficient vehicle in Australia when we launch the Fiesta ECOnetic, which will be more economical than hybrids at only 3.7L/100km," said Burela.
    thats crazy! but a good kind of crazy.

    though, its not going to help petrol prices,
    as we have experienced this year, when supply of oil is bigger than demand, and petrol prices start falling, the arabs just slow production so the price hikes again.

    ...mazda CX7 & CX9 are both turbo 2.3 4cyls.. and they get along pretty well.

    By 2011, a 2litre will probably be pushing out the 190kw that the bigger 4's are today.. using continuously vvt, or even a vanos system & variable geometry turbines, easy possibility.

    Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.

    This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

    I'm not saying Ford can't build a decent power 4 cylinder turbo, but will it be more fuel efficient than the existing 4.0??

    Your example, CX7/9, they do go well, but their fuel consumption??

    Just had a quick read on the OzMazdaClub forum, alot of CX owners struggling to get 16l/100km out of theirs, even the 'economical' ones are doing 12-13l/100km.

    http://www.ozmazdaclub.com/forum/cx-...on-cx-9-a.html

    Current FG Falcon 4.0s do around 10l/100km combined.
