Take A First Look At The 2012 Ford Focus!
In this blog – I like to make sure that you guys are as up-to-date with all of the new auto news and definitely the brand new cars that are going to be coming out. Well guys, finally, we get to see exactly what the brand new 2012 Ford Focus is going to look like and I can tell you for sure that this particular car is going to look incredible.
This is actually a third-generation Focus and whether you are looking for a four or five door car, I can tell you for sure it is going to be small, compact and adorable! Ford is actually using a lot of different technology for a lot of other markets and countries to build the 2012 Ford Focus and I think that it is going to be the best that they have come up with yet.
If you are looking for something that is chic and definitely stylish and certainly handles well – the brand new 2012 Ford Focus is going to be the car for you!
Looks Like Taurus Is Rising!
I have probably said this before — I am not the biggest fan of Ford cars ever born. In the past I have especially not been a fan of the Ford Taurus. Earlier models, in addition to being big and bulky, it sort of looked like a copy cat — the headlights made it look like an overblown, bloated Neon. Now, I love Neons, but they sort of look like they are trying to look like the poor man’s Porsche a lot of the time, so the Taurus got a double fault. It’s sort of how bands like Creed started trying to sound like Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam, and then a new generation of hacks (like “Daughtry,” amirite?) started trying to copy Creed’s sound.
But anyway! The new 2010 Ford Taurus doesn’t bug me too badly. It’s not solely for family drivers any longer, and the style shows that. It looks a bit more modern — and all I can say is, it’s about time!
Ford Boosts Production Of F-150, Escape: Thanks To C4C!
Ford is one of the only automakers that has not only one that has lasted through all of the bankruptcy times and now – now, they are certainly churning out some of the quality products. Cash for Clunkers is certainly a program that has churned out a profit for Ford and I think that is actually awesome. August sales for Ford have been at their highest for the year and that is truly incredible.
However, there are two trucks actually that have jumped up in sales. The F-150 as well as the Escape are two trucks that have sky-rocketed in the sales department, which has sent production into overtime … which means that more jobs and more jobs are going to be created and calling back, which is fantastic!
Right now, 10,000 units are needed for the F-150’s, which is great and truly puts the workers back up to full-time!
Taking a Peek at the 2010 Ford Taurus
Luxury cars are great, midline luxury cars are awesome, but let’s face it, sometimes we have to go with what we can comfortably afford, which is one of the reasons so many people are such big fans of companies like Ford. The Ford Taurus in particular has always been pretty popular, ever since its coming out party back in 1985. However, such a long running stance has made it pretty recognizable — that ends with the 2010 Ford Taurus.
The new model is actually much more luxurious than you would ever expect. It is even considered rather fun to drive, even exciting, despite being billed as a family sedan.
That conjures up some very precise pictures, but the 2010 Ford Taurus dashes all of the stereotypes.
It will be available in August, at a base price of $25,995 — not bad for a “luxury” vehicle that can get from zero to sixty in only seven and a half seconds.
Ford’s Sync to Go Global
The voice activated information service of Ford Motor Co., Sync is scheduled to go global starting 2010 in Europe.
The Sync, powered by Microsoft technology, will be available in 7 European languages. The automaker also plans to release it in the Asia Pacific Region and in Australia.
To boot the 2010 expansion, Sync is getting some upgrade with the capabilities of getting real time traffic updates. The company promises the continuous effort to develop the technology of interconnectivity for the consumers. The Sync system allows the driver of a car to connect to their cell phones and to the internet.
The Sync broke ground with Ford in 2007 when it was introduced as a tool to access phones and music player hands free. Sales reports have shown that vehicles with Sync roll of the show room faster than those without the system. Ford is aiming for a million of units sold by the third quarter of 2009.
Shelby EXP500 CSS “Black Hornet” Auctioned for Charity
American racing and automotive designer Carroll Shelby is auctioning a 1968 Mustang, known as the Shelby EXP500 CSS
“Black Hornet” for charity this December.
The Black Hornet is an amazing tribute to the “Green Hornet” that Shelby used to test the then ground breaking technologies of the 1960s. In partnership with Restoration Hardware, Shelby is challenging all car enthusiasts to participate in the online car auction that runs from December 2-12, 2008. The Black Hornet bidding starts at $100,000.
Three-quarters of the Black Hornet sale will be given to the Carroll Shelby Children’s Foundation, which helps children suffering from life-threatening illnesses around the world, and also promote the donations of organs and tissues.
Small is In for Ford
Ford disclosed that it will push through with its plans of conquering the North American market with its line of small cars.
Trucks and pick-ups have lost their grounds when fuel prices increased. The priced of petrol has gone down but industry figures reveal the vehicles, like the F-150, are still on a downward trend. September sales figures disclose that pick-up sales are 26.7% lower.
The lower fuel prices may mean better chances for Ford’s F150 and other big vehicles to be launched by next year. Ford is anticipating though the entry of small European cars by next year which will play a big role in painting the picture.
Ford aims to have small to medium sized cars complement their big ones to remain competitive in the future.
