FoMoCo: Charging More, For Less?

Interesting story yesterday . . . remember the Geo Metro? 3 cylinders and 50+ mpg? Apparently Ford is bringing back the tri-cylinder . . . doing a turbocharged 1.0 3 cylinder 125 bhp EcoBoost in a Focus. Ford expects that not only will there be a demand for this Euro spec wonder, but that customers will be willing to pay about $1K more than the bigger, heavier four cylinder. Ford already gets a higher price for the optional V6 (turbo and direct injection) in their trucks over the standard V8s.





Americans will have to wait however, Ford's plans for the US may find the triple in a . . . Fiesta.
