The kit from the picture looks like a turbo kit rather than a turbocharger one though...

Thinking about looks and performance, @$200,000.00, I would definitely take the Lexus LF-A over a Ferrari or a Lamborghini. If I had an Aston Martin parked in my garage, maybe I would think twice about buying the LF-A. I find them very similar

Still very ugly...

19mpg on a high-rev V12 engine...I find that hard to believe...

Maybach Exelero definitely rings a bell yo me...

30% fuel economy improvement for an Explorer V8 means an average of 19mpg give or take half a mpg approx. A Mitsubishi Eclipse of about same engine's size as the V6 Explorer's produces an average of 21mpg... the Mitsubishi Eclipse is about half the height and half the weight, and by far more aerodynamic than the Explorer... So the new Explorer's 19mpg is still kinda hard to swallow...and I don't think the new Ford's chasis, body and engine are going to be made of titanium, aluminum or carbon fiber either...Who would be able to afford that? We have to handle mpg estimates with care for they create illusions. On the other hand, increasing power increases fuel consumption: POWER = FORCE X VELOCITY. It is also an illusion (that could make good commercials) expecting to deliver more power while reducing fuel consumption. Engines delivering similar power are expected to use similar amounts of fuel as well. Bigger engines increase force over velocity (USA school); whereas smaller engines must rev faster to achieve higher HP (European school)

The following quote is definitely not accurate: "Anyone familiar with the power delivery of a modern twin turbo engine knows the perception of power can be even greater, since it is available from low RPMs and almost instantaneously,"...Turbos (regardless of their number) show little to no effect at all at low rpm's since they are supposed to be actuated by gases coming from the exhaust pipes...Turbos usually "kick" at high rpm's along with a significantly higher fuel consumption also. I definitely appreciate the Ford's new look, but the "30% improvement in fuel economy" for a 3.5L V6 engine sound a bit inflated as well...The current Ford Explorer V6 engine's size ranges around 3.8L or so. I seriously doubt of the fact that a 3.5L V6 with one or two turbos (or without them), three or four valves/cylinder and even with a 7-speed-transmission is going to be 30% more efficient than a 3.8L engine is...I can take the 30% improvement compared to that of an engine like the Ford Excursion V10's...I know that many of us would like to see the American auto-industry coming afloat again, but that should be the result of taking lots of criticism and hard work, but never as a result of creating false expectations or misguidance for consumers...

A Porsche without exhaust pipes...That looks strange!

If that VW were ever set to come USA, I figure the price of Diesel here would go above $15.00/gal ;)

I would be wonderful that those winds could come to USA...and it would be even better to by one of those cars with the same money you would expend to by a plasma or LCD TV...
