  1. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Just saw this tidbit: First Drive: 2018 Ford F-150 | Automobile Magazine In reading through it, I find it very interesting how Ford has now added Multi-port fuel injection AND direct injection systems to their newest 2018 engine lineup that includes both turbo and NA based engines.
