The arrival of the new Ford EcoBoost V-6 engine is certainly going to make a lot of motorists happy, particularly the ones who are looking at wise alternatives on retaining power while bringing down fuel consumption at the same time.

Arriving in the 2010 Lincoln MKS, MKT and Ford Flex and Taurus SHO models this summer, the twin-turbocharged, direct-injection 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine delivers the horsepower of a normally aspirated V-8 with the fuel efficiency of a normally aspirated V-6.

Features:

• The 2010 Ford Flex boasts a projected 22 mpg highway, equaling the highway fuel economy of the 2009 Flex with all-wheel drive with more horsepower (355 projected vs. 262) and more torque (350 ft.-lb. projected vs. 248 ft.-lb.);
• 2010 Lincoln MKT leads its segment in fuel economy, exceeding the V-8-powered Audi Q7 by 4 mpg highway;
• 2010 Taurus SHO generates an estimated 365 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 350 ft.-lb. of torque at 3,500 rpm;
• The new Lincoln MKS will deliver more power and better highway efficiency (25 mpg) than the 2009 Lexus GS460 (24 mpg) or 2009 Infiniti M45x (20 mpg).
