Yesterday, Ford finally announced an official figure that should impress all the HEMI fans as well - 365 horsepower, the same as you get from the new Taurus SHO with the same engine. The engine is mated to a paddle-shifted six-speed SelectShift Automatic transmission with a new 3.16 to 1 final drive ratio, for that sporty feel.

The SUV is playing the balancing act between economy and power, as it also returns 22 mpg highway. Ford says this is “2 mpg better on the highway than the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango R/T with 5.7-liter Hemi engines."

The sporty SUV is priced from $41,545 including destination.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
