Default Falcon XR4 Turbo Anyone?

Had the privilege of driving a Ecoboost Falcon during the week. Was very interested to see what all the fuss was about and to see if it was really as good as had been written about. Simple answer...YES. The power was similar to the straight six but the torque spread was a bit better. Handling also felt much better. So the next thought was. Would there be a market out there for an Ecoboost in XR guise? You would think that tuners will have a play soon and grab a bit more power out of it. The improved handling due to less weight up front would make it a bit of a weapon potentially. I see the biggest problem being brand acceptance. What do you guys reckon?
