So no direct injection for the Coyote and no power bump? That is really strange. I figured it would be direct injected for sure and with new ports, valves and cams, you think there would be some power increase.

Dave McFly · 12-05-2013, 04:07 AM

I really like it but I still prefer the previous generation but did not care for the 10-14 model revision of it (except for the interior and the upgraded V6 and V8 engines).

The vert looks kinda awkward to me. Makes the rear look really heavy

Doesn't look bad. Nothing that makes me "got to have it" though.

Agreed. The ass sticks out way too far without the fastback roof.

Wow! The more that comes out the more I'm loving this. The interior is fantastic and the exterior is a very nice progression. I can't wait to see what the top dog versions will be.
