Does the second gen 3.5 eco have all these updates.
The 3.5 does not have a CGI block. It has had the 10 speed since 2017. The second gen has dual port injection and I would guess other things on that list just not sure.
Not sure I buy into the weight vs power comparison. Inherently you're going to have X mass for any engine. Plus, not sure about the other engines, but I've read that the exhaust manifold is integrated into the block of the 2.7 so that could explain some additional weight./QUOTE]
Exhaust manifolds are built into the heads not the block. Because of this they are also water cooled keeping the the turbo temp down as well. As for weight having the manifolds integrated into the heads should save weight vs having a bolt on part.
Yeah, that's what I meant lol. Sorry, didn't check for technical accuracy before posting, but the point remains the same- integrated vs bolt on 'should' provide some sort of weight savings. Although, I must admit, I'm a bit sketchy regarding non-metallic oil/trans fluid pans and plastic drain plug. Let's make everything as light as possible for the engine as a until and then add metallic plates for protection...?
Proof you spend too much time on automotive forums.... I'm convinced this is exactly what MOST people do....drive by a random dealer, pick the pretty color.
In my day-to-day public life, I find most people pretty clueless. (disclaimer: I do not believe the poster actually did this, but I agree with his point.)
Agree. Most people can't tell you how many cylinders the engine in their daily driver has, let alone anything else about it.

They seem to have mashed together facts from both engines. As far as I know the 3.5 does not have CGI and the 2.7 does not have electric actuators while the 3.5 does.

The 2.7 definitely has electronic actuators while the 3.5 does not.
