Even so, Ford went from a HUGE deficit to a HUGE advantage and is paying a HUGE premium in materials to do it.
Question will be are people willing to pay that premium to now be 300 pounds lighter? GM wasn't getting any additional sales when it was the lightest. It was mentioned in magazine comparisons, but never made huge deal of. GM barely mentioned it in ads.
Is 300 pounds enough to make the 2.7L a viable choice? We have to wait and see. But that is down around 4 cylinder displacement. Ford could do ok though, just not sure I'd buy a FST with a 2.7L engine, turbo or not.
