Here's the deal and why Ford chose EcoLPI and Ecoboost:
If Ford did put the V6 diesel in Falcon, achieved 6.8 l/100 klm and all the I-6 buyers switched, that would be a disaster.
Now the knee jerk response would be"WTF? a 6.8 l/100 km Falcon has to be great for business" but perhaps not so.....
Ford's goal has to be adding products, not to replace them and cause the I-6 to become redundant, not yet anyway.....

That's why I understand Ford punting for EcoLPI and Ecoboost 2.0, they both add to production, not replace I-6 petrol.


It's just so alluring to see something like Jaguar XF with a version of T6's 2.2
diesel and stop start getting 5.5 l/100 km and know FoA could do that too...
