Ford's pricing models are pretty wacky. I know a lot of people put off by the way Ford does their pricing, because every single engine option is a different price. Instead of doing one trim level with one engine, there are 2 or 3 engine options in some trim levels. It's pretty ridiculous.

I think the turbo-4 engines from Germany are a much different breed than from other countries, but BMW really made it exceptional. The power is much greater and the performance actually exists. I have yet to drive an American 4-cylinder that doesn't disappoint me. The Ford EcoBoost 2.0L is only pulling 0-60 in 6.9s an 1/4mile in 15.2s. Yay! Cool! It matches the Mercedes C250. But it's not the 5.6s 0-60 and 14.2s 1/4mile of the F30 N20.
