Does the new Escape use an all new 8 speed transmission? Is it the same one that's in the edge/nautilus? I've heard bad reviews saying that edge transmission was a poor modification of the old 6 speed.
Yes as their base engine I'd agree, but not the step up.
Jaguar E - peace is around 292 HP I believe. I feel like this segment has a blurry line for competition as well.
My pessimism makes me think the only way Ford achieved the 200 lb drop was by switching to the 3 - cylinder version and like for like power train options likely have similar weights. Hopefully I'm wrong.
I think I want this to be my next car...but it really needs some power. Hoping they make some power upgrades to the 2.3 version. Especially if there's not going to be an Escape ST for a while.
Has anyone tried to build a Fusion lately? It seems like they are really limiting wheel combo options to specific packages...pretty much forcing me to go a different direction? Thoughts or should this be another thread, ha.
