What Truck Trend says about the new F-150 engines

In addition to the new 6.2-liter, several other powerplants are coming. The 2011 model-year F-150 will offer four new engines. The smallest, a Duratec 3.7-liter V-6, has also been seen in the 2011 Edge. Its estimated 300 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque are higher than those of both the Ram 1500 and Silverado/Sierra 1500 sixes and comes backed by a six-speed automatic, where the competitors have four-speeds. At that horsepower level, the Ford 3.7's power approaches what the base V-8 Rams and Chevrolets offer. It also has 52 more horsepower than the two-valve 4.6-liter V-8 and 6 more pound-feet. The engine has variable timing control of the intake and exhaust camshafts (Ti-VCT), piston-cooling jets, and forged-steel crankshaft, and is E85 compatible. Ford expects this will have best-in-class fuel economy. F-150s equipped with this engine can tow up to 6100 pounds.

The 5.0-liter V-8, which is very close to the 5.0-liter engine of the 2011 Mustang GT, is also equipped with Ti-VCT. This DOHC eight has a power output of 360 horses and 380 pound-feet of torque. That's 68 more horses than the three-valve 4.6-liter, available 200 rpm sooner, and 60 pound-feet more torque with a peak rpm that's now 250 higher. Even though this engine is a lot like the one in the Mustang, the F-150 application comes with another oil cooler and cast exhaust manifolds. Other features include a forged-steel crank and E85 capability, and its compression ratio goes from 11:01 in Mustang to 10.5:1 in the 5.0-liter F-150 to reduce knock at lower speeds while towing. These numbers are higher than those of the Ram's 4.7-liter V-8, Chevrolet's 4.8-liter, and Chevrolet's 5.3-liter. The 5.0-liter can tow as much as 9800 pounds and is also backed by a six-speed automatic. (...see more)

Ford Fiesta - What the Auto Press Says

The 2011 Ford Fiesta ranks 1 out of 30 Affordable Small Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 25 published reviews and test drives of the Ford Fiesta, and our analysis of reliability and safety data.

Reviewers are nearly unanimous in saying that the 2011 Ford Fiesta sets new benchmarks for the affordable small car class.  Even reviewers who don't go that far say Honda and Toyota should be watching their backs.

Ask any car lover and they'll tell you: some of the world's best small cars never make it stateside. With the 2011 Ford Fiesta, that's changed.  On sale in Europe since 2008, the most recent iteration of the Fiesta has finally arrived at dealerships in the U.S. AutoWeek says, "The Fiesta is as good a small car as can be found, sourced from anywhere in the world. That it comes from the Blue Oval is remarkable and heartening; its brilliance is the first ray of sunshine on what has been a seemingly midnight horizon."

The Fiesta gets high marks from almost every reviewer who has driven it because it offers things many other small cars lack: a fun driving experience and a comfortable, upscale cabin.  With the Fiesta, many reviewers say, Ford may radically alter what American buyers expect from small cars.  The Fiesta has features rarely seen in the Small / Subcompact Car class, from available heated seats to Ford's SYNC system to an airbag for the driver's knees. But what will seal the deal for many buyers is the Fiesta's hybrid-like fuel economy.  Ford says it should get 30 miles per gallon in the city and 40 miles per gallon on the highway. Those numbers are close to what many hybrids offer, but the Fiesta will cost thousands less. (...read more)
