The EcoBoost engine is a direction that Ford should have taken about three years ago. MIT did a study and engine design to get 45mpg out of an SUV by "losing" internal parts (cam, lifters, etc.) that lose potential HP, replaced with electronic parts.
This proves that Auto companies won't do these things like this until they're forced to. In the meantime, Ford dealerships are dropping like flies right and left.
