Ford Gains as Good News Abounds

This morning I did a quick Google search on Ford Motor Company. The headlines are amazing:

• Ford Motor Company’s Quick Lane Fastest-Growing Service Brand in the Industry
• Ford Considers $500 Million Investment in Michigan for Production of Hybrids
• Ford Motor Company will off new Fiesta starting at $13,995
• Ford Fusion Gets Top Marks, Company Stock Soars
• Ford Fusion Named “Motor Trend” Magazine’s 2010 Car of the Year
• Ford Vehicle Among Best in Highest Retained value
• Ford Puts Four Vehicles in Strategic Vision 2009 Total Value Awards –Focus, Mustang, Expedition and Super Duty F-250 and F-350.

And that was just over the last few weeks. As a Ford dealer, I see it at the dealership every day. People who just a couple of years ago wouldn’t have considered a Ford or Lincoln-Mercury are taking a look and as they say “Driving One.”

Whether it’s the new found recognition by the press that Ford makes the best vehicles in America, or the awareness that Ford refused to take any government bailout money, the fact it Ford delivers for today’s consumers like never before.

Ford has become the leader with vehicles that embody compelling styling, design excellence, smart technology, safety, fuel economy, low emissions, quality, and more.

As Motor Trend Magazine said in their article announcing the Fusion’s ascension to 2010 Car of the Year, the new Fusion is “better, smarter, nicer, prettier, comfier, leaner, meaner and greener in every way.” Also in contention were the all-new Taurus and the perennial Mustang.

Top to bottom the Ford, Lincoln Mercury line up fits the bill and will only get better.

Over the next few weeks, were going to take a look at each vehicle in the 2010 lineup and take a glimpse at what’s to come.

Thanks for your interest! If I can ever be of assistance in any way please let me know.

Ford Innovation in the 2010 Ford Fusion

There has been a lot of fuss over the upcoming 2010 Ford Fusion hybrid. In fact Car and Driver has recently ranked it above the Chevy Malibu, Nissan Altima and Toyota Camry hybrid offerings for the 2010 model year. They go on to say that, with the 2010 Ford Fusion hybrid, “Ford has hit one out of the park and into the ionosphere”.

I will be doing a review of the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid for all of you interested in the overall car, whether here in Bartlesville or wherever you may be, in an upcoming post here at Bradyourcarguy.com. Today though I thought I would look at one particular aspect of the upcoming car that has generated a whole lot of buzz. I’m talking about Ford’s new SmartGauge with EcoGuide.
