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.
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.
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.
