A B48 on paper is better than my US spec S52 all day, in terms of power, and for sure MPG. Does that mean I want one? Absolutely not (unless it's purely a DD. Would I want one in a toy like a Z4? Even less. Science....
I'd prefer the Bronco be offered with a 3.5L in-line 6 bolted to a manual transmission and mid-1980s ECU tech, but it's not. It is 2022. It's offered with Ford corporate Ecoboost hardware.
