You mean hopefully Ford's cars will stay alive. Don't get me wrong, this engine is good, but its way late and considering the complete morons running Ford, they will probally find a way to screw this up like they do most everything else.

Someone here will do it tho... 
way under powered..the Nissan VQ 3.5 is 270hp - 300hp..
... in a sportscar. You might as well be looking at the Noble M12 and say "the Ford Duratec30 has 350hp". It does, in that application.
You've got to compare application to application. The engine will debut in a Crossover, one very similar to the Murano. And what does the VQ35 do in that application? Only 245hp, putting the Duratec 20hp over it.
It will also debut in the MKZ, which would be best-compared to Nissan's Maxima. And what is the VQ rated at in that application? Just 255hp, 10hp shy of the Duratec35.
If and when the Duratec35 is put into cars similar to the 350Z and the G35 you can be damned sure that it will also be surpassing the VQ35 in those applications.

I can see a 35 in a Fusion or Milan...  Add a turbo or two to the all wheel drive version & you've got a real screamer. Even the big 500 with CVT & all wheel drive & turbo or S/C would MOVE. A 35 in a Contour... If the firing sequence is similar to the Duratec 30, why not?
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

but....not according to the latest...
once again the story has changed and supposedly SVT is not dead. They just might have a slightly different future philosophy. Who knows till they actually do put something else out.

Some of you guys need to put down the Ford Kool-Aid. You're off popping bottles of Moet because Ford catches up with the competition. With their constantly shrinking marketshare they need to do something besides play catch-up.
