Ford's F-150 pickup is and has been for several years the market leader for a considerable deal of years and it has achieved this by having several important strong points. Whenever the opposition would catch up or at least minimize the gap the Blue Oval would keep on improving on their F-150 even further. 6 This is what we're told...
Without trying to be annoying to those who own one of these cars or the company that makes it I'm gonna go ahead and say that this is my sort of recall.

Moreover, the American company claims that the SYNC app develop...

We've seen news and advertising stuff from about the 2012 Ford Focus for a reasonable amount of time now yet the number of them that's actually on the street is still pretty limited. To be fair, the Mark III Ford Focus has only been launched on the market at the beginning of last month, so it's not really anybody's fault....
It has been several years since Ford held an actually significant stake of the Mazda pie and ever once and again we see more proof of these two companies "breaking up". The last of such endeavors is that Mazda will soon stop production at a joint plant in Michigan which is owned by Ford, ergo another break-up. AutoAlliance International is...
The Blue Oval's best and indeed, the world's best selling car, the full size pickup that is the Ford F-150, recently hit a new milestone for the U.S. market. One such milestone is again related to sales, but not in the traditional mode one might expect that to be, actually it's in pretty much the opposite way. With the latest...

The 2012 Ford Focus ST model is being tested seriously and spy photographers just can't seem to get enough of it so here's another sampling. As we can see, the car is still wearing camouflage and even if it's the lightest of versions a manufacturer imposes on soon to be released models it is still somewhat disturbing. Perhaps the choice...
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration just announced how its employees will have their work cut out for one of the biggest recall inspections ever.

Precision applied, 2.7 million units...

It's been quite a few years since Ford was the company that had sold two thirds of all the cars in the world and the sales hierarchies have changed quite a lot. Somehow Ford didn't take the whole thing very well, especially since a company like BMW kind of overtook them despite having pricier products, of a higher class. Lots...
Even though Ford has been pretty much keeping a lid on actual sales figures they've been managing lately, it's clear these aren't small. We got our first hints from the Ford F-150 EcoBoost sales rushing up and from the Fiesta being top seller in Europe but somehow that didn't seem substantiated enough. With the Americans still not being too clear...
It took the status of a market leader, some of the most aggressive pickup truck marketing out there and an actually damn good car to do it but it's done. Americans are finally starting to accept smaller engines and turbocharging and this is all thanks to the EcoBoost powered Ford F-150. With quarterly sales being published by everybody, Ford decided...

With a March figure of an amazing 50.534 units being shifted, the...
