While browsing foreign Ford sites-
Looking around, I have to say that I like the Australian site the best. You guys there get some of Ford's best offerings. I have to wonder why they didn't have something like this here-

Between the Escape and Explorer, primarily RWD, turbocharged.
Of course, most other markets also get the Contour still, in the form of the Mondeo. It'd probably be a big seller here now that it looks more like a Focus, and might keep Toyota from owning the small family car market.

Honestly the power figures doesn't really do that turbocharged straight six justice... nearly 400lbft on tap from 2000 - right up to 5000
Oh and Monsta the reason that we only get the 5.4 is that Brazil stopped making the 7.3l (gas engines don't sell here in vehicles that large due to our fuel prices)... so the 5.4l is the only one left, and even then you will struggle to find one.
