Default Re: Ecoboost Falcon review....well kind of

I agree that it seemed so well thought out, with some glaring omissions.
* The expected 50kg weight loss that the EB 2.0 I4T will give the FG Falcon.
* The calibration of the Mondeo EcoBoost is not the same as the FG Ecoboost.
* Aerodynamics of both cars are not the same. The FG looks sleeker.

They did rightfully state that the gearbox will be totally different too. But, it was only a comparison and htey were happy with it.

The 6% saving around town, would be better with 3% less weight (50kg).
