I obviously agree, its definitely NOT refined enough. It's way too harsh. All reviews on the stang mention the harshness and add that as another reason to stick to the V8.
An engine like that does not belong in a sports car. If they want to continue to run in it the Explorers they need to pull some more ponies out of it and greatly reduce its abrasiveness.
My opinion says that with the idiots running Ford management, the same engine will probally be there for a long time, with little-no changes. But then, I could be wrong.
