That would be my first choice. 4 cylinder turbo with a manual = lighter, better balanced, more efficient, cleaner. Funny how so many people complain about the "retro" styling, but not the antique engine configurations.
Don't forget less durable. High-revving, low-cube motors have a shorter lifespan than the opposite. You can't have it all.
My 250,000 mile 1.6 liter Miata would disagree.
At any rate, they still offer a V8, so it's choose-your-own-adventure.

Is it turbocharged or normally aspirated?
It's NA, bone-stock, but I've seen plenty of turbocharged 4s with 200k on them (stock, sane amounts of boost, not aftermarket hack-jobs). And I've had V8s that burned oil like crazy at 100k.
But as I said, different strokes (and bores) for different folks...

The new 5.0 is *anything* but antique. You DO know that not a single part of shared with the last 5.0 made don't you?

And manual-crank windows, and an engine compartment you can actually FIND and REACH things in, and a stereo that you can work without having to read the manual first.
Dang... we just described the base-model Ranger. Too bad they discontinued 'em...
If the only means of loading the back is through the window then I'd call that rendering a hatch, not of a wagon. A proper wagon should have a drop down tail gate.

If Ford actually made that 4-door 'Stang, imagine the customer confusion choosing between the Fusion (already a 4-door that looks like a 'Stang) and the Mustang (a 2-door Fusion with performance chassis & drivetrain)....the new Fusstang perhaps? Or the new Mussion?
