Actually I believe this is a Mazda developed engine that was applied to Ford products. Thats my understanding anyways, I could be wrong.
Either way this engine is a great piece of work. Its already found in the Mazda6 and Mazda3 in non-PZEV form (although I think a PZEV option for Mazda will come soon). This engine is also going to be used in Ford's Escape, the upcoming Mercury Mariner (an upscale escape), as well as the Ford Freestyle and probably the Ford/Mercury's new midsize sedans due next year.
