A 3 cylinder eco boost engine with an 8 speed tranny? hmmm... I'll pass, but it's nice to think that not only powerful cars get cool technology.

For what a lawnmower. I'm sure if you're looking for "MPGs" then some folks may want to drive a 3 cylinder car. However, I believe many people will recognize that even some 4 cyinder cars, along with a 3 cylinder car would be under powered, loud and may have enough "go power". I'll pass on the 3 banger.
