I finally got my VIN number from the dealer today, and went screaming into the FORD ETIS website (www.etis.ford.com)to see what I could find out about my car (that I do not have yet)..
this is the info it showed me :
<t></t><table width="95%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, _sans;"><t><tr><td colspan="2" style="font-size: 0.8em;">Primary Features

</td></tr></t></table>
Now correct me if I am wrong, but this is saying that it was buit in November of 2012? and the engine is worrying me , as it states a Duratec Sigma engine, which is thePREDECESSOR to the Ecotech engine. (info source:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Sigma_engine)... I ordered this car in February.... of this year
why am I getting an old engine, and old build ?
