It would make sense if the 4 cylinder was dropped along with the V6, as for the 6 cylinder to remain viable it needs enough volume to keep it going, if buyers choose another engine over the 6 and production numbers of them drop low enough it will mean the engine plant will run at a loss. God knows things are hard enough for us at the moment without having other engines to compete with.
In saying that though I thought the Ecoboost 4 cylinder would have been excellent for Ford to sell as an economical, environmentally friendly variant. Would have made good power too, over 200 kw. |
