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...

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.

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...
The 2011 Ford Fiesta received quite the welcoming in all the markets the Blue Oval sent it to and it really shows.

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

Who can resist a Ford Mustang? Better yet, who can resist a fully loaded Ford Mustang, perhaps one with some tuning attached?

Ford's cult car of late, the Focus ST is about to benefit from the facelift that's already available on the majority of the somewhat duller lineup.
