Ford to show of 2.0L EcoBoost in 2011 Edge
Ford Edge Forum - Next week, Ford Motor Co. will unveil the 2011 Ford Edge at the Chicago Auto Show -- its latest product freshening and the first to feature a new, four-cylinder version of its fuel-saving EcoBoost engine.
The latest version of Ford's popular midsize crossover also will be the first to feature the company's new MyFord Touch system, which replaces most of the traditional analog gauges, switches and knobs with full-color computer screens and touch-sensitive buttons.
The body of the Edge is new from the windshield forward, but the biggest change is under the hood. In addition to the current 3.5-liter V-6, the 2011 model will offer a 2.0-liter four-cylinder EcoBoost that delivers the same power as a 3.0-liter V-6 with significantly better fuel economy, according to sources familiar with Ford's plans.

"....fuel-saving EcoBoost engine..."
GAS-GUZZLING TwinForce engine would be the more proper term.
Sacrificing cruise mode FE for acceleration HP is a bit bass-ackwards IMMHO.
Reduce that engine to an effective 1.3L using the Atkinson cycle and add a SuperCharger to bring the performance, HP/torque, back up to the 2.0 BOOSTED level.
Even better yet, use Toyota's newest HSD e/VVT-i technique to run the engine in base Otto mode, 15:1 compression ratio and then use e/VVT-i to incrementally reduce the CR as boost rises.

The Toyota man continues to rant as a politician who doesn't know what he is talking about.

Your orginal reply in this post continues to display you are not an automotive engineer by any means. Nor are you a member of any professional automotive engineering society. Nor have you ever built or more importantly submitted for peer review any of the engineering projects you frequently rant about. Nor are you able to see why your orginal post in this thread reveals just what has been stated.

Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
