Entirely uninspiring. Remedial. Guaranteed to offend no one. A very weak mid-model update.

It's a good thing that no one can see the four-cylinder ecoboost engine. It brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it... (sniff, ... sniff)

I got a Ford Escape with a turbo 4 that does 240 horsepower. It's snappy, but it doesn't sound like anything to behold. I get that this motor will have a Porsche twist, I just cannot get over the loss of that flat 6 whine.

I just hope these cars don't skyrocket the prices of the 997, 991. I'm patiently waiting for a couple years to get a 7-8 year old 911 for around 35k.
