For awhile now we have been waiting to see someone come out with smaller trucks. With the gas prices on the rise it only makes sense that many of the automakers try to stay away from the things that will make it harder to sell. Ford is the first automaker to take this step.
Ford is thinking about bringing back the F-100 name to a new mid-size truck that will be built on a more modified version of the F-150 platform. It will be close to 9/10th the size of the regular F-150 and will be built using aluminum in order to shave off even more weight. The F-100 – which actually share many of the same parts as the F-150 and will even be built on the same assembly line.
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 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.
Ford’s new ad campaign is going to be unique and different compared too many that we have seen lately. Ford has taken the new five doors Ford Focus and transformed it into an orchestra. The instruments have all been made out of the car.
Ford has decided to implement a new service that will alert 911 anytime the airbags in your vehicle go off. It is similar to the OnStar service that GM vehicles are equipped with. The service only costs $15-$30 a month instead of charging anytime you want to talk to an OnStar rep. Plus if you have bought the new SYNC than you can utilize the service for free.
