To refresh you memory, EcoBoost is Ford speak for turbocharging plus direct injection. In the case of the 3.5-liter EcoBoost found in cars like the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/07\/21\/first-drive-2010-ford-flex-ecoboost-delivers-more-than-just-a-b\/\">Ford Flex EcoBoost<\/a>, the forced induction, direct injected motor makes much more power than the naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 (355 horsepower compared to 262 hp), yet gets identical fuel economy (16 city\/22 highway). <\/p>\n<p>The 2.0-liter EcoBoost that <em>The Detroit News<\/em> promises is coming in the substantially refreshed Edge is said to be as powerful as a 3.0-liter V6. We&#8217;ll take that to mean about 240 or so horsepower. Sure, that&#8217;s not a very exciting power figure in the Edge, but it will probably make for some sexy fuel economy figures. And just image how thrilling this news will be when the 2.0-liter EcoBoost <a href=\"http:\/\/autoblog.com\/model\/focus\">Focus<\/a> comes out? Or, Mulally willing, an EcoBoosted <a href=\"http:\/\/autoblog.com\/model\/fiesta\">Fiesta<\/a>! Even a <a href=\"http:\/\/autoblog.com\/model\/fusion\">Fusion<\/a> with this new motor (and a manual transmission) would be very, <em>very<\/em> welcome.
