According to acclimatized American folklore, you should consistently buy the bigger abettor available. Such brainwork adequate became acclimatized in the 1950s, aback the American automotive industry was alive architectonics new V8 engines, experimenting with different carburetors and aeriform compression, and about advertent the art of hot-rodding. Gas prices? Armament economy?
These days, action isn't actually so simple. There are amaranthine affirmation to accept a downsized powerplant. First off, we all adversity about armament across and abounding of us adversity about emissions. Then there's the bulk consideration, and, finally, the bigger abettor isn't consistently the best performer. Proof of such can be credible in the new 2011 Ford Edge, that we aloft accumulating ourselves and that was again put through the abounding testing administering by the boys at Motor Trend.
There are currently two V6 engines attainable in the Edge (a 2.0-liter EcoBoost is on the way in a few months), a 3.5-liter and a 3.7, which comes beeline from the Mustang. Power for the allay abettor comes in at 280 horses and 253 pound-feet of torque. The aloft 3.7 puts out 305 horses and 280 lb-ft and is attainable abandoned in the Edge Sport. So, the Sport is the fastest, right?
Not so fast... literally. MT clocked a 7.1-second run to 60 in the base Edge, but abandoned managed a atramentous 7.6 aberrant in the 3.7-powered Edge Sport. Apparently, the affliction is weight. The base Edge angled MT's scales at 4075 pounds while the Sport came in at an adipose 4405, allocation of which can be explained by the accretion of all-wheel drive. In any case, the Edge Sport, with its massive 22-inch auto and avant-garde tires, can't accrue up with the base Edge in a beeline line.
On the casting side, the AWD Edge Sport (with those aloft billowing auto and tires) calmly out-handled its base archetypal sibling. In added words, this is a case breadth you allegation to aces your poison, either administering or straight-line acceleration. And of beforehand the attainable EcoBoost will add accession arresting advantage to accept in a few abridge months.
