Ford is considering on whether or not the new Fiesta – which was revealed at the Geneva Motor Show – will make its way over to India. Michael Boneham is taking the place of Arvind Mathew as the new MD and President for Ford India. “It can be a possibility and we are studying this,” he said.
The US auto major, that does not command a good share in the Indian auto market, is gearing up for a larger play as it pumps in a fresh $500 million to enter the volume-driven small car segment and construct a fully-integrated and flexible engine manufacturing plant by 2010.
The Ford Focus ST that is being sold in the UK is incredible when you compare it to the one that we have to settle for here in the U.S. The brilliant design team that is based out of the UK took their time and put all of their energy into making a car worth driving and showing off to everyone. We were rather impressed when we learned all of the details and specs of the car.
Ford of Europe is preparing to release the new “Black Magic” edition. The new car has been built using the design of the Ford Focus Coupe-Cabriolet. If you were hoping to choose it in a different color you will be disappointed. Ford is keeping to the name and is only providing them in black.
The “Black Magic” edition will come with 17” alloy wheels that have been mounted to a sport suspension, tinted headlights, and fog lamps. The interior of the vehicle will have black leather and will be bundled with a Bluetooth/MP3 compatible stereo, a wind deflector, and parking sensors. There will only be 1500 of the “Black Magic” car available in Europe. Consumers will have a choice between the 2 liter engine that runs on diesel or gasoline.
Ford dealers were able to get a sneak peek at the new Ford F-150 Raptor as it was being unveiled at the Ford Dealer Show in Las Vegas. Naturally they have given us a few details on what to expect and a small glimpse of what the new truck will look like.
Jim Farley – Ford’s marketing boss – debuted the Raptor – which sported a Ford embossed front grille. In order to show the kind of power it has they brought along a video of it tearing through the desert.
Rumors on the Ford forums told us that when it came to the new Ford Flex they were going to redesign it and give it a whole new look. Lucky for you we have spy photos to show you what that new redesign might look like. The only problem that with this new design is that it looks like they are going for more of the retro style by using faux wood paneling.
At least we had hoped that they would have been. It seems that Ford might be bringing back the faux wood paneling on to the new Ford Flex. This photo of the new Flex was taken by one of the many spy photographers.
