The 15' navigator has 380hp. I'm assuming that's the bump in power they are referring to.

Only bad thing the 380hp is only in the navigator. The 2015 MKS still gets the 365hp

They should call it nanoboost...

What is more intriguing to me is the 9 spd transmission .....

Hopefully this 9-speed will shift as fast as the C7 & Hellcat's 8 speed.

As for upping the power on the 3.5 Eco, 380 is probably right. Any more power & they won't be able to call the SHO & MKS a "5 person sedan" & would increase insurance rates etc.. for us.

Maybe we can see a diet & the new Focus RS' AWD. The latter is unlikely but it'd be awesome!
