Heck, those marketing guys in Europe are calling everything a Duratec. Look here, there is a 1.3L 8V engine for the Ka being called a duratec.

IIRC, all future DOHC engines will carry the Duratec name along with them - that's how they will be distinguished. The architecture of the engines may be entirely different, just the same name...essentially the Duratec family will be growing immensely, but don't think that just because it has the name, it will work as an upgrade to a Contour, Taurus, Jag, etc, etc...
