Ford gets it first?
Looks like Ford is already fitting the new Mazda 2.3 engine into the Focus. How come the Focus gets it before the Protege/3? Doesn't seem fair.
This from Thecarconnection.com.
FORD GOES GREEN WITH CALIFORNIA FOCUS
Starting in March, all Ford Focus vehicles sold in California – except those wearing the high-performance SVT badge – will get a new, 148-horsepower, 2.3-liter engine. That’s not only 13 percent more powerful than the current, 2.0-liter Focus powerplant, it’s also a lot cleaner, qualifying for California’s incredibly stringent PZEV, or “Partial Zero-Emission Vehicle” standard. The automaker will then beginning rolling out the PZEV model across the U.S. With the Golden State’s emphasis on the environment, Ford officials believe they can boost Focus sales in the state by 10 percent in 2003.

The Mazda 6 already has it.
