I'd want to wait until the Coyote gets into a more finalized state (and of course lower pricing). With the federal fuel economy requirements needed to be met over the next 10-years, either the Coyote will vanish, or some efficiency improvements will be added to the motor, in additional to the chassis updates.I'm curious if there are loopholes for "fleet fuel economy averages" - could they simply release multiple small models that no one buys, or do they account for sales? I don't see Fiestas pushing 80mpg to help even out the 25mpg Mustang averages over the 4/6/8 cylinder engines. The Coyote would need to have some improvements to help Ford meet upcoming requirements. Efficiency also can mean more power! Quote Selected

Are you wanting the DI Coyote, or the current (cheaper) Coyote once the DI version comes out? I imagine it'll be a while before the DI Coyote is reasonable to purchase. 440+ hp that is dead nuts reliable would suite me just fine at this point.
