Yeah, to be fair im not really dirty on Ford for bringing the 2.0l to market, its probably a bloody good bit of kit, but as Simon has suggested, it isn't necessarily more efficient at all.
What annoys me more than anything is the vocal members on here who suggested that bigger isn't better and that people should accept that a 2.0l is good enough.
Guys like trev copped a hammering for suggesting that larger capacity has a place where towing and durability is concerned.
If the point of the exercise is to promote the new product then they should just say so, don't dismiss opinion to the contrary just because it doesn't suit the desired narrative.
Its just another example of 'don't worry about what you think you need, just accept what we think you need'.
Its clearly an ingrained attitude.
