Ford: Focus St on 2040-cars
New Midway, Maryland, United States
EMAIL : giroux1skgerry@mynet.com
Up for sale is my pride and joy; a 2013 Ford Focus ST. The car has been extensively modded with virtually no area left untouched. It is a blast to drive, putting down 350hp to the wheels (thats more than the new Focus RS has at the crank). She recently took home top honors at Focus Rising 2016 (one of the largest focus and fiesta shows in the world) and she turns heads wherever I go. All the work was done right and with quality parts, no cheap stuff here. The car was recently repainted (less than 5000 miles ago) receiving a full color change in Ford Competition Orange. True Colors Collision did all the paint and body work. Again, no corners were cut here, the car was completely disassembled and repainted so all the door jams and such match. As far as I know this is the only third generation Focus ST this color in the world.The wheels, tires, and upgraded turbo kit were all put on after the new paint job so theyre all still pretty fresh. The car was professionally tuned by Dead Hook Motorsports, theyre one of the top ecoboost tuners in the country. The car has tons of power with almost no lag, but it is still composed enough to be driven daily and get over 32mpg on the highway. There are only two flaws with the car, the first is a small chip in the windshield, I had it repaired the day it happened and safelite guarantees it not to crack further but it is still visible. The passenger side seat also needs the occupancy sensor replaced. If the buy it now is used I will have these issues fixed immediately. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask, and if you are local (DelMarVa area) I will gladly take you for a test drive. I will be driving the car until it is sold so the mileage may increase & the car is for sale locally as well. There is still a small balance on my loan, but my loan company has assured me that there will be no delay in receiving the title once it is paid.

Ford Escort testing, may be bound for Europe
Tue, 01 Apr 2014There has been little news about Ford's China-focused Escort concept since debuting at last year's Shanghai Motor Show, but the no-frills sedan has shown its camouflaged face again during cold weather testing in Northern Sweden. While far from a guarantee, the test location might hint that the Blue Oval plans to market the car outside of Asia.
The Escort's black robe and zebra paint make it hard to tell if anything specific has changed about the design, but the shape of the sedan looks close to what was shown in Shanghai. Under the disguise, you can still make out the hexagonal front grille from the concept. When Ford announced the model, the company said that the design wasn't supposed to be "arrogant or pretentious," and it certainly achieved that. The engine range is still a mystery, but it seems safe to expect small, economy-focused powertrains.
A report from last year indicated that Ford may be considering broadening the new Escort beyond Asia and possibly even selling it in Europe. The fact that the company brought it to Sweden for testing could bolster that argument. A release date hasn't been set yet, but the automaker has promised 15 new products for China by 2015. The basic sedan could be on the road soon.
How Ford plans to handle insurance and repair questions surrounding new aluminum-bodied F-150
Tue, 21 Jan 2014Building a car out of aluminum has a number of benefits - the lighter weight allows the vehicle to be more agile, more fuel efficient, make better use of its power and be more resistant to dings and dents. The downside to the advanced construction, though, is that repairs are both challenging and expensive. That's troubling for the new, aluminum-bodied Ford F-150, because it's kind of made a name for itself as a rugged, durable work vehicle.
How will the legions of Ford buyers cope when it comes time to insure and repair their new trucks? Well, according to Ford, it's expecting a ten-percent jump in insurance costs for the aluminum-bodied F-150, although Ford's truck marketing manager, Doug Scott, was quick to point out that the F-150 is generally cheaper to insure than its competition from Ram and General Motors. "At the end of the day, that's sort of a wash," Scott told Automotive News at last week's Detroit Auto Show. "We've spent a lot of time and feel very comfortable that that's not going to be an inhibitor."
The other issue facing Ford is the distinct lack of body shops that have the training or equipment to repair aluminum-bodied vehicles. AN cites an estimate from the Automotive Service Association claiming that of the 30,000 independent body shops in the US, less than 10 percent are able to work on aluminum.
RWD Lincolns are coming, fate depends partly on MKZ success
Tue, 04 Dec 2012The product portfolio at Lincoln may seem a bit sparse at the moment, but if a report is to be believed, new products are on the way. TheDetroitBureau.com spoke with sources at Lincoln and Ford, who claimed the American premium brand is working on, perhaps more than one, rear-wheel-drive vehicle.
Lincoln would likely platform-share with the next-generation Ford Mustang to develop those RWD offerings in the early going. Moving forward, the report indicates that Lincoln could take the lead on other rear-drive projects in the future. As the RWD architecture continues to take shape, "most or all" of the front-wheel-drive portfolio will also be offered with all-wheel drive as an option, ala Audi.
But wait, there's more! The report also suggests that a replacement for the full-size MKS is on the way, as well as a new Navigator and a luxury crossover based on the current Ford Escape.
