Please, a supercharged V8 is superior to any EB ;)

Oh, the research is out there. A 2.3L will not have the same power at 50k, 75k, or 100k as it did new. The 2.7L will not have this problem, assuming you use premium fuel.

Let's not get carried away, a turbo-charged V6 is exactly why the Raptor is about to get its cake eaten by the TRX. Jeep and Ram are throwing V8's at turbo V6s. Ford will inherently be forced to use V8s if they want to keep up with the muscle.

I had a wrangler for 5 years. When in the woods, or near any bushes, you'll have spiders find their way around the vehicle. When top off, there will be times one or two find their way inside, but in general, be prepared to swat at one or two off your leg when you start driving again, but you'll...

In general you are on the right track. There are a few good posts on this topic. Honestly, it depends on how the Bronco feels and drives that will determine if a 2.7L is really needed to drive manual sales /or sales in general. The 10-speed is not nearly as smooth as the 8-speed in Jeeps, but...

I've mentioned this weight aspect in the 2.7L manual petition thread -- but you can't discount the effect has of 500 or more lbs on acceleration, and overall feel, particularly with the 4 cylinder. The ranger could smoke a 4-door wrangler, but can it smoke a 2-door wrangler v6? You did the...

Wrangler sales were 15% manual before they redid the JL and basically moved people off it. Auto companies want to have complete electrical control of how a vehicle performs. You can see this with the Bronco, it has way more electrical components than a Wrangler and therefore they surmised to...

200,000 for a 4 cylinder with a turbo? That's a toss of a coin. The problem is, after 200,000 miles, the 2.3L will have lower performance due to carbon deposits, and there's nothing you can do about it. Sure, you can do an invasive engine cleaning service, but for the most part, that 2.3L will...
