2013 Fusion to get 1.6L ecoboost

Just got my wards email this morning and read that the new Fusion will be getting a 1.6L ecoboost. I know they've had that engine overseas for a while now in the car (with very respectable MPG numbers). I am pleasantly surprised to see it come to the US.

Restyled ’13 Fusion to Win More Conquest Sales, Brand Manager Says

Quote:
The ’13 Fusion will be available with a number of powertrains, including a 1.6L EcoBoost inline 4-cyl.; 2.0L EcoBoost I-4; 2.5L naturally aspirated I-4; and hybrid-electric and plug-in hybrid versions.
On the downside, the body styling is very blah I think...

In Europe, the 1.0L ecoboost is available in the Fusion.
