Does the MKZ get teh Ecoboost engnie?

I sat in a new Taurus a couple of weeks back. I really liked it.
BUT..I am having a hard time thinking I should get rid of my perfectly
good Fusion to get a new SHO....but it is tempting.

If mileage is not important, then why not buy an even older car and
save even more money? As to the original question, a new car with
zero mileage is always the "better deal."

Every used car has mileage and one can never know for sure how it
was used or abused, or if it was properly maintained, or not.
When do you expect to have the highest maintenance and repair costs
with any car new are used, the first 50,000 miles or the last 50,000
miles that you own that car?

One has to always wonder, why did the original owner no longer want
to keep THIS car?

I can't speak for all original owners, but for me, I like buying new
cars every few years. I don't think I've ever gotten rid of a car
becasue there was anything wrong with it, except I wanted something
different. Well excepting wrecked cars that I had....

I run two cars and replace the one that is two years old every year as well,
but that does not change the fact that a used car buyer has to wonder why
the original owner no longer wanted to keep the car he may wont to buy.

Ford has not announced when the MKZ will get an Ecoboost, but they have said
they plan to roll it out on most of the vehicle lines, so I'm sure it won't
be far off...
