Cool. Here is an article from the LA TImes this month, sugesting that more than just Ford will be bringing three-bangers to the USA in 2013. We'll see. Certainly is cool technology: http://www.latimes.com/business/auto...,4405998.story

EDIT: "Ford is shipping two of the three-cylinder Focus models to its Dearborn headquarters, where next month the North American marketing team will start to evaluate how U.S. drivers might view the car. Engineers will review technical aspects, looking to see what modifications might need to be made."

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
