What they should have done is take an existing engine, like the 1.0L Ecoboost, and used that instead of all this "we're going to develop a new, proprietary engine at great expense so we can trumpet it all over our advertising!" Especially when they have only raised $65 million in their now-years-long campaign, and can't start production without an additional $200 million.
