Ford Faqs

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.

Ford has chosen to show off the Taurus at the up and coming New York Auto Show tomorrow. You will see the Taurus in all of its glory even if one of them looks like it just came from an accident. Ford is taking an unusual tactic and will be showing off just how safe their cars are by showing you what happens and what their car looks like after an accident.

That is why they have chosen to crash test one and then to display it and show off its five star frontal and side crash test ratings that it received from the National Highway Safety Administration.

Ford chose the perfect time to show off the new Fiesta production models. They chose the 2008 Geneva Auto Show as the place to spread the new look that they had created and to get some real input on how it would be received among the people.

It is obvious that Ford derived its design and look for the Fiesta from the Verve concept. Ford showed off the three door Fiesta in the green color and the five foor in the magenta color. We have heard rumors that the American production version will be a four door sedan.

Ford has finally released the pricing for the up and coming 2009 Flex crossover. The vehicle will be hitting dealerships this summer with a price tag starting at $28,995. This will include any shipping costs – but not any of the special features that can be added to one of the three trim levels.

These trim levels will all start off with a price tag higher than $30,000. Ford built the Flex as a six to seven seater CUV that will come in front wheel drive or all wheel drive configurations. The AWD Flex Limited is expected to be $37,255 before any of the special options have been added on to it.

Ford is happy with its investment in Microsoft’s SYNC – which has helped to win over consumers. It seems that people are willing to pay the $395 to take advantage of its hands free technology and excellent entertainment system. It has even managed to win a few awards on the way.

Ford’s exclusive contract to the Windows CE 6.0 Auto technology will be up later in the year – which means that other automakers can get their chance to climb on board and introduce it to their customers. Microsoft sees the potential and the way that the SYNC helps to sell cars for automakers. After all consumers want the latest technology. It looks like Ford will have to expect some competition when this happens.
