A Fiesta worth its name: For once, a European Ford will make it to the U.S. market without compromise.

Over the past couple of decades we’ve reviewed several impressive European Ford models that are not available to American buyers. Now, at last, here is one that will be coming to the U.S., the first product of CEO Alan Mulally’s “One Ford” global car policy: the new Fiesta.

Launched in Europe this fall, it will be built in Mexico and sold in the U.S. in 2010. Although the emphasis in the U.S. will be on the sedan version, Ford plans to offer the five-door hatchback as well, currently the most popular version of the car in Europe. (more…)

Despite its humongous size, it’s a pickup that’s easy to live with.

With the discontinuation of the Ford GT, we wondered, What’s the best vehicle in Ford’s lineup? After trying out the 2008 F-250 Super Duty, we’re thinking a case could be made for this pickup.

When put up against its classmates, the heavy-duty Dodge Ram and GM pickups, the redesigned 2008 Super Duty brings home an impressive report card. (more…)

They were thinking of calling it the 501.

The elasticity of all-new gets a test here, as Ford stretches the words to surround this large front-drive sedan, known previously as the Five Hundred. Tepid sales and a new CEO led to the revival of a once-bright nameplate, even though that name had been dumped after years of sedans whose appeal seemed limited mostly to rental fleets. (more…)

As promised, Ford will deliver a full run of anniversary H-D trucks in 2008.

When we first drove the 2007 Ford Harley-Davidson F-150 Supercharged, we reported that the supercharged engine”originally planned for production in 2008”was a last-minute addition to the line for 2007 in response to consumer interest in the F-150 FX2 Extreme truck shown at the 2006 SEMA show.

What’s the Mercury version gonna be called?

Perhaps it’s a sign that Ford plans to throw Mercury off a cliff. We’re talking about the Ford brand’s having usurped one of Mercury’s most storied monikers”albeit slightly altered with a British accent”for its upcoming mini-ute, the Kuga. Yup, Kuga. Koo-gah. Seriously, say it aloud. Someone at Mercury has to be pissed. (more…)

When it comes to the best of the best in the truck class, there is no better option than the Ford F-150. For over ten years, the Ford F-150 has been at the top of this class. Not only is this truck popular among ordinary people, but construction workers love the power and toughness that it has to offer.

From the outside, the Ford F-150 has a great look. In the front it has the same look as the Explorer, which does it justice. And of course when you get around to the back you will notice a large bed that can help you haul a number of different items. Also, don’t overlook having your Ford F-150 equipped with the tow package. This will give you the ability to haul a trailer, boat, or u-haul with ease.

When it comes to the interior of the Ford F-150, you will not be disappointed. The front seat is quite comfortable, and the layout is easy to live with. If you opt for the full cab, your back seat riders will be able to travel in comfort.

On the road the Ford F-150 has no problem keeping up. And if you opt for four wheel drive you will be able to take your truck into almost any situation imaginable.

The Ford F-150 has always been a very popular truck. And as long as Ford continues to do what they are doing with the F-150, this will always be popular among truck buyers all over the country.

Lightning only strikes twice.

It won’t be called the Lightning, but Ford’s sporty version of the F-150 pickup truck, dubbed the F-150 FX2 Sport, gets a supercharged V-8 just like the dearly departed Lightning. (more…)
