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 sells 7-millionth Explorer in America
Mon, 17 Nov 2014Say what you will about the evolution of the Ford Explorer, from roofed Ranger to body-on-frame sport utility vehicle to unibody crossover - the bottom line is that it's been a tremendously successful model for Ford. In fact, the Blue Oval automaker has sold seven million Explorer models in the United States alone.
The milestone, marked nearly a quarter-century after the introduction of the original in 1990, comes on the eve of the introduction of a new Explorer at the Los Angeles Auto Show this week. We don't yet know how the new Explorer will shape up, but we're mere days away from finding out.
Now heading into its sixth generation, the Explorer has formed the basis of Ford's utility lineup for over two decades. The Explorer landed on the market right around the time that the Bronco was trailing off, predating the company's expansion into larger SUVs like the Expedition and Excursion and crossovers like the Escape, Edge and Flex.
Ford Mustang returning to Australia in 2016
Mon, 15 Jul 2013Australia's Herald Sun newspaper has reported that the next-generation Ford Mustang is heading Down Under in 2016, just as Ford is hanging the "Closed for Good" sign on its Australian manufacturing operations and sending the Falcon to its grave. Ford hasn't offered any official word on the matter, but the paper says that Ford's global VP of sales and marketing, Jim Farley, is flying to Australia to make the announcement himself.
While Ford converted Mustangs in the early 2000s from left-hand to right-hand drive for the Australian market and then sold them at high prices, it's been almost five decades since Ford imported a dedicated right-hand-drive Mustang to Oz. The arrival of the global model specifically made for places like Australia and the UK means Ford will also be able to offer them at better prices than the converted models; the Herald Sun says the price is expected to be "close to $50,000."
And that's for one of the "V8 performance models," which are the only ones Australia will get; Ford apparently won't send the turbocharged four cylinder or the V6. The Aussies could find out in a month from now whether this rumor is true. We will all find out what this Mustang fuss is about when the car debuts at next year's New York Auto Show.
Ford profits soar as problems mount
Mon, 19 Aug 2013Ford is doing well. It can't make enough examples of its new Fusion, it can barely make enough of the aging F-150, it's getting good brand rankings, people like its turnaround story, it's selling oodles of product and its quarterly profit numbers end in the word "billion." As other high-flying examples have demonstrated over the past few years, though, big numbers can come with problems that aren't exactly small.
Automotive News has published a good "nutshell" report of Ford's progress and problems. The Dearborn automaker's optimistic "general label rule" determination of gas mileage for the C-Max Hybrid has led to lawsuits, hybrid software updates, a downward revision of C-Max fuel economy and millions in rebates. AN notes the C-Max was the "worst-scoring model in this year's J.D. Power Initial Quality Study," but Ford will probably be happy that it managed not to be mentioned further in the study's results after last year's mediocre showing. Its MyTouch and SYNC systems, the bugbears sabotaging Ford's J.D. Power results, have also led to lawsuits, software updates, more software updates and a center console rethink. On top of that, the 1.6-liter EcoBoost in the 2013 Ford Escape that Ford called a "hero" was soon catching fire for three different reasons. And let's not even get into the troubled launch of the Lincoln MKZ.
The Automotive News piece notes that industry observers have been surprised at Ford's stumbles because everything has been looking so good. Nevertheless, there is still the issue of those billions in profits - the company is doing plenty of things, plural, right. Ford says it is tackling its problems, hiring engineers and instituting new quality control processes as part of its effort to find solutions. The test will be to see if in a year from now we begin the discussion of these issues with "Remember when Ford...", or "Problems continue at The Blue Oval."
