Those looking for a four door muscle car in the midsize sedan segment often have to look in the premium segment to get the model they want. But no longer. At this year's Detroit Auto Show, the Blue Oval took the wraps off the 2017 Ford Fusion Sport, a powerful demon of a car. Now, we're learning it's pricing is quite a bit lower than anyone imagined.
With the 2016 Ford Edge, the Detroit automaker has created a model that spans the range between family wagon and premium crossover. The Car Connection recently reviewed the Edge and found it to be tech-focused and stylish success.
The base engine for the Edge is now Ford’s 2.0-liter EcoBoost, good for 245 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, and is fine for towing 3,500 pounds. The 2.0T will be perfectly adequate for most needs, but for those who must have a V-6, the 280-hp, 3.5-liter engine has been carried over as a minor-cost option...

Breaux Bridge, Louisiana may be the crawfish capital of the world, but Ford has also been exploring some surprisingly culinary options lately.
Rice, soy, tomato, coconut, wheat, kenaf... these sound like ingredients to a home-cooked meal, but they are just a few of the renewable materials Ford is experimenting with to make seat cushion foams, plastics, and more.

"If you’re shopping for a used car, a certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicle is one choice to consider," writes our friends at CARFAX. "CPOs represent used cars that are backed by the manufacturer, and are typically just a few years old with low miles. You might consider certified pre-owned cars as the low-cost alternative to a new car, or as a low-risk option to a used car."
Tucked into the small town of Spring Green, Wisconsin, the Ringbrothers set up shop. The brothers—Mike and Jim Ring—have been attracted to cars since their childhood, when they would hang around in their father’s garage.
Since 1994 the brothers have been making a name for themselves because of the completely custom work that they do. Recently, the brothers chatted with Jay Leno, on Jay Leno’s Garage, about the 1965 Ford Mustang Espionage. This carbon-fiber version was quite a hit at SEMA.
It's never easy to retire from a job you love. And you may not think that the profession of bull riding is a glamorous one, but it is. So when riders spend years honing their skills and enjoying the perks of the job, it can be hard to say goodbye when their time is up.
Compact cars gave gotten better and better over the years, and the Ford Focus is no exception. Unlike the pack, however, one could never call it boring. Its steering is responsive, and it offers more than enough power to get the job done. Unfortunately, even in today's growing economy, it can still be hard for younger people to afford them.
After this summer you won’t have to worry about potholes if you’re behind the wheel of the 2017 Ford Fusion V6 Sport. Thanks to updates to the2017 model year your vehicle will just glide over potholes like they’re not even there. The 2017 Fusion will have an available computer-controlled shock absorber system which adjusts the dampers every two milliseconds and won’t let the wheels fall into those precarious potholes.
Have you ever had a car that was just “the one”? Everything about it makes you feel right: the style, the color, the sound of the motor, the feel of the steering wheel in your hands.
Terry Maxfield, a Ford Mustang owner, spotted “the one” while shopping for a family car. At the time, Terry was a young mom and had a toddler with another baby on the way. Still, she couldn’t resist the pull of attraction and ended up driving a 1965 Ford Mustang off the lot in Ohio.
We here at Courtesy Ford have to hand it to our beloved American brand: it most definitely did its thing in creating its all-new, hot-as-heck hatchback, the 2016 Ford Focus RS.
Hungry for a sneak peek? Well, fortunately for you, that's precisely what we're serving up today. Join Auto Trader UK Senior Road Tester, Paul Bond, in the video below and dig in:
Though its merits are many, arguably none of the Focus RS's many features are as thoroughly impressive as its engine. Its turbo 2.3-liter four-cylinder is paired with a six-speed manual gearbox, and generates…
