I doubt it was the 335i. They run 0-60 in the low 5's high 4's even with the automatic...

The MKS looks great in this video. I can't wait until Ford puts this engine into the MKS, along with the new Taurus SHO, Fusion, ect..

great tech... any idea if it's coming out on the 2010 fusion considering the fusion, milan, and mks are basically the exact same car.

Ford was just recognized as being in a statistical dead heat with Honda and surpassing Toyota in quality. I think you are only seeing the beginning for this company. Mulally has them cranking out very high quality product and there new entries look pretty sharp.

ECOBOOST!! What a joke!!! Notice that the car engine is still above 300 HP too. You don't need that for speed if you have the right power to weight ratio ; but they will never change: or at lest change in time to save some American Jobs!! No wonder Ross Perot quit General Motors after they would't listen to him as to what was going to happen to the the American car industry if they didn't change. Fire every single manager and start from scratch with the engineers in charge!!

No he's talking petrol (gasoline) direct injection. VW have had it for years now on Golf and other models. Golf GTi is Direct injection gasoline tubo and has been on the market for almost 4 years. It has been available on some mainstream models from Japan without turbocharging since 1996 then spreading through the world. It's a great technology, just not a brand new amazing one...

yeah Mazda and Chevy already are using this sort of technology. Good to see Ford using it too, but Fords US cars are lame vs what they sell in Europe.
