Pretty sure they have, it mostly had to do with crappy fuel lines and such from what I read on it, not so much the engines themselves.

I'm betting a large part of that decision is to go after the Euro crowd again. Ford has had some popular cars over there, but it looks like things are slipping lately.

I will take the car in the lower pic any day of the week. Gary is right on with Ford starting to price the GT out of most people's range. I refused to pay what they were asking for the '12's. Waited a bit and bought a used one. Ford is fixing to mix it up for some of us in 2015.

If they're going to target the tuner market with a 4cyl turbo they should add an awd option since most people in that market prefer awd

What are you talking about, it sounds like your the majority of the market. This is a muscle car platform, yes I understand it's going on a diet and getting more power possibly. But why would you in your head slim down a car just to throw on a 2nd diff. That would completely screw up a good balance of handling. I hardly hear from people how they bought a 4 cylinder car but WISHED it was AWD, ya not happening. I'm pretty sure Ford would put an extra set of doors and windows on the car before they ever make it AWD.

I'll never undewrstand why you guys get your panties in a bunch over what the entry level engine is going to be. A 4 banger with more horse power than the OPs V8 is a bad thing???????
