Small 'EcoBoost' engines on Ford Australia's radar
Ford Australia will introduce a number of new, smaller fuel-efficient EcoBoost engines into its compact-car line-up in the near future.
The local car maker already has 2.0-litre four-cylinder versions of the EcoBoost engines, which combine direct injection and turbocharging for good power and economy, in the Mondeo medium car and the Falcon...
Ford: New Cars 2012
The FG MkII Falcon upgrade and the efficient four-cylinder EcoBoost engine join the new EcoLPi LPG models early in 2012 to create what looks like the blue oval’s strongest local large car offering in years.

Would have to say tad overdone on front (albeit not bad) as looks to Ford Focus like (tops of lights angled wrong way a tad that lead to front guard and from side on and front the whole front of the car is too up and down and no curvature to it.

Ford Europe is still obsessed with AU Falcon edgy designs and they design cars similar still ie: Fiesta, Focus. Hopefully Ford Australia will get off its tired arse and get the Kuga, Mondeo and Verve here ASAP quick smart as they need to expand model range. As for the Territory that needs to be updated as looks bland on front ASAP! Get Kuga to replace ancient bland Explorer. FORD IS LOOKING BETTER; now has Tom Gorman commented as he is so tiresome in regards to taking FORD AUSTRALIA FORWARD WITH A BETTER SMARTER DESIGNED RANGE
