I Donated thefultonhow Posted January 17, 2018 I Donated Share Posted January 17, 2018 Why wouldn't it be possible under 60k? Doesn't Ford have a V6 twin turbo in the one of the trims of the Fusion? It's in the Taurus, not the Fusion. The Fusion gets the Focus RS 4-pot in Sport trim. The Taurus SHO gets the Ecoboost V6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check again, Chief. 2.7L Twin Turbo in Ford Fusion Sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated thefultonhow Posted January 17, 2018 I Donated Share Posted January 17, 2018 Check again, Chief. 2.7L Twin Turbo in Ford Fusion Sport. So it is. I guess I shouldn't believe everything I hear at an autocross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brady Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I haven't driven the 2.7L, but I've driven the 2.0L with 240 HP. Even that is a very nice drive. I think I would much enjoy the Sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nads Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Anyone taken a gander at the Kia Stinger GT? 365hp twin turbo v6, 8 speed auto and AWD optional. Yeah its a Kia but it makes you wonder where Subaru is going...too much Toyota influence, but you can get a 300+hp Camry with no CVT. https://www.kia.com/us/en/vehicle/stinger/2018/overview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilot1226 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Yeah, the Turbo V6 is only available on the Fusion in the "Sport" trim - it's interesting, because the "top" trim tier is the Turbo 4 I believe. Weird that they don't combine the two. The Taurus SHO seems interesting, but again, that's a big car and it starts at $42. Personally I would be interested in a LegGT if it came back with the new comforts and tech, probably would be looking at that in about 10-11 years when the kids get their license. If I last that long. Or them. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spb Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Now that we know that Ascent is getting DIT isn't likely that legacy will get the same engine instead of the 6cyl? Whether they call it GT or not is separate issue.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether they call it GT or not is separate issue.. With 2.4DIT introduced in Ascent I don't see where H6 fits in Subaru model lineup. Unless Subaru is working on wild 3.0H6 DIT to introduce it in midlife Ascent refresh we can probably kiss Subaru H6 goodbye. 2005 LGT Wagon Limited 6 MT RBP Stage 2 - 248K 2007 B9 Tribeca Limited DGM - 258K SOLD - 2005 OB Limited 5 MT Silver - 245K SOLD - 2010 OB 6 MT Silver - 205K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether they call it GT or not is separate issue.. I think we're all hoping the Legacy will get the 2.4. Other markets all got the 2.0 while we had the 2.5, so there's hope, especially since it's a US-market motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other markets all got the 2.0 while we had the 2.5, so there's hope, especially since it's a US-market motor. I am pretty sure the only market with the FA20 DIT is China and it is optional. All other Legacy markets have the FB25 as the sole engine or the EZ36 as the option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieDriver Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I should have clarified that most other markets get the 2.0 DIT, while we got the 2.5T, until it went away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubOperator Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I recall, possibly incorrectly, that FHI was going to build engines in Indiana at some point? could it be that Ascent's 2.4DIT is US-built? Otherwise I am sure we will see it in next Legacy and/or STI/WRX. There is no way FHI would create whole new line with all the tooling and not try to reuse it on other cars. 2005 LGT Wagon Limited 6 MT RBP Stage 2 - 248K 2007 B9 Tribeca Limited DGM - 258K SOLD - 2005 OB Limited 5 MT Silver - 245K SOLD - 2010 OB 6 MT Silver - 205K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point of a global platform is the tooling fits more than one vehicle model that is why it is scalable. All the sub-assemblies will bolt in the same way no matter the vehicle so in theory the tooling is interchangeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 AFAIK - SIA does build engines. From the SIA website PLANT FOOTPRINT Engine: 189,276 square feet 2.0 FA and 2.5 FBs are built there, and would presume that the 2.4DIT will be built there as well. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgoodhue Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 2.0 FA and 2.5 FBs are built there, and would presume that the 2.4DIT will be built there as well. I would assume it's the FB20 for the Impreza built at SIA. The FA in the WRX, Forester and BRZ are all built at the Gunma plant in Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 You're correct. The FA20F is the DITST in the JDM Legacy, Levorg and FXT, and the USDM FXT and WRX. The FA20D is the FRS/BRZ engine. Believe all of these are made in Japan. The FB20B (2012-16 Impreza and XV), FB20D (2016+ Impreza and XV), FB20X (2014+ XV Hybrid) and the FB25 (2011+ Forester and 2012+ Legacy), are built I believe here in the U.S. at SIA, and (possibly) Canada. Given that the 2.4DIT will go into the Ascent, which is a North America only market vehicle, it's likely going to be built here first, then might very well migrate to the STI and other "performance" models, perhaps even a new LGT... - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to this website, the components will built in Japan and be assembled at SIA. Production starts in March and they will make 70000 2.4DITs for this year. That is why I believe the 3.6 was going away for the Legacy/Outback for the 2019 model, 70k engines in 10 months and they plan to sell 5000 Ascent a month (50k). 20k 2.4 engines not going to an Ascent. https://newswitch.jp/p/10003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilot1226 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Seems plausible. Maybe they would keep the 3.6 for another year or two of overlap just to insulate themselves from any unforeseen catastrophic failure or flaws in the new one, but yeah. I think 19 is the supposed year for the Foz redesign to the Global Platform. I think I was expecting 2020 for the redesign for the Leg/OB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"we added an assembly line". Look at your typical Subaru EJ25, and the follow-on FB20B/D/X and FB25 and you'll see "Made in Japan" stamped on the block, but it was assembled at SIA. The new engine will produce key components at the Gunma Manufacturing Oizumi Plant (Oizumi Town, Gunma Prefecture) and assemble it at the US factory (Indiana State) scheduled to manufacture the ascent. We will start production in March 18, and plans to produce around 70 thousand in the first year. In addition to being preparing for production at the Oizumi Plant, at the US plant, we added an engine assembly line. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
