A Trip Through Time with the Ford Taurus

Ford Taurus came to dealership lots twenty-six years ago in 1986. Since then, the Taurus has become one of the best selling sedans in North America, and one of the American automakers most popular cars.

Light, with fiberglass and many curves, the original Taurus wasn't a boxy 80's hunk of metal, which influenced many other car companies to rethink vehicle design. Since Taurus launched, Ford has constructed 7,519,919 models through 2007 alone! It has become the fifth best selling North American car in Ford's history; "only the F-150, Escort, Model T, and Mustang have sold…

Ford Creating a Cheaper Hybrid

Ford is working on a new hybrid powertrain for their Ford Fusion, as well as the C-Max concept. Reports state this engine will gain in miles per gallon output, while costing less. How is that even possible?

How exactly does Ford achieve this? Well, first off they don't use one hybrid engine, they use two!

Ford's hybrid system actually utilizes two electric motors -- one as a generator, the other one to drive the car. Linked to the gas engine is a gearset, called a "torque-split device." This acts as a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and diverts power between…

What to Expect from the 2013 Ford Escape

While Ford has recently confirmed that the 2013 Ford Escape won't be available with a hybrid powertrain; they're continuing to make strides in the reduction of their carbon footprint.

Ford Focuses on In-Car Health and Wellness Technology

A lot of apps out there do little more than give drivers access to their owner's manual. Yes, there are some that offer more value via features such as remote start, climate control and headlight flash. It's not that Ford is knocking any of these capabilities. After all, referencing the owner's manual can sometimes be necessary. And, nobody's going to argue against the added comfort and convenience remote access brings.

Ford, however, wanted to use the increasingly-popular app interface to create something a little more meaningful...something with the capacity to quite literally change - and maybe…

Movie buff and Ford fan? Have we got a movie for you! Drive. Maybe you've heard of it. It started playing in movie theaters across the country just last week and is expected to stick around for quite some time. At least, that's what the reviews indicate.

The specific Ford model cast to play the role of the getaway car is none other than the new Ford Mustang GT 5.0 - a perfect choice given its bad-boy good looks and aggressive 412-hp core. Its cameo scene is as adrenaline-pumping as the trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v…

Ford Hits Pause on CD Players

Know what was missing from the new MacBook Air ultra-thin notebook? An optical hard drive (a.k.a. a CD player). It was also absent from Apple's new-gen Mac mini desktop. Forebringers of things to come, the decision not to include CD-players in these devices signifies that the lyric-filled, shiny discs are going the way of LPs, eight tracks, records and tapes. Ford, in fact represents the first automaker to move toward completely eliminating the antiquated music-playing devices from its cars.

The transition toward, pure digital technology, will begin in models available in Europe. The process will take time…
