they're not awesome at all. they have the power of a v7 and the efficiency of a v8, with the complexity of a TTv6. zero advantage at all. in reality, the new 6.2 gm offers a huge power advantage with the same economy, and way less headaches. once the ecoboost gets to 60,000+ miles, it's a maintenance nightmare, with turbo and sensor issues. remember, you're putting your faith in a company to build a TT DI v6 that can't even get a spark plug right.

the ecoboost is far from a game changer. if anything, it's a step backwards.
