A new look for the new C-MAX from Ford, and i have to say that it looks great. Only downside is that we have to wait until 2010 to see it in showrooms

The power will come from a 1.6l and a 2.0l engine both in petrol and diesel. The transmission will be a standard five or six speed manual . The twin-clutch semi-automatic Powershift box system will be an extra .

The space inside is said to be enough for all needs , the seats fold offering a flat area for storage .
More info on this later as we dig it

The official image of the new Ford Ka

Ford said that this amazing car will be released on the marked in January 2009 . It is simple , cute , and comfortable - perfect for the busy cities of today

It will be better built , better powered and better marketed by Ford , we can say this for sure .
Also , you can see this new Ford car at the Paris Motor Show in October

See you there !

This is the last breath of the Fiesta
The ST500 will be a special edition car and the specs are :

• Sport Seats
• Carbon firbe (effect) trim
• Sony CD stereo
• Panther Black metallic paint
• Red brake calipers
• 17 inch wheels

Also in terms of power it will have a 2.0 l engine at 148 bhp , high performance gearbox and stiffened suspension

The price : 30,000 $ and only 500 will be made

This car is built for one thing and one thing only . To kill the Golf R32 on the roads and capture the public eye . Ford has done the impossible and it looks like the Golf should thing twice before battling this monster on the road .
Powered by a 2.5l turbocharged engine with 280bhp and a electronically-controlled limited slip differential to make sure all that power goes on the road it will be hot .
People should not be afraid of the front wheel drive system , the limited slip differential will take care of the handling .

The picture is computer generated to give us the idea on how the Ford Focus RS will look like in 2009 when it will be released in the showrooms .

More info to come .

It will be built in Ford plant in Cuautitlán, Mexico, near Mexico City .
Although it is considered that hatchback don’t sell well in US , the Fiesta had much support in this venture
The new car will go on sale in the United States in 2010 although it was already released in Europe at the Geneva Motor Show in March and will go on sale this year

The US will get both the three and five-door hatchback versions

Yes the Mondeo Titanium X Sport or you might know it by ST ?
We almost thought it will never get built ..
The specs look great , a 2.2 diesel engine and a 2.5 l turbocharged petrol engine . 0-60 mph in 8.4 seconds at 173bph

Ford has built something we can call a Muscle Mondeo , muscle in all aspects , power and looks
As you can see it has more manly features , the chrome and aluminium in the right places , the racing attitude , the 18-inch alloy wheels and much much more.
Also not to forget the sports suspension and bi-xenon headlights .

What can we say ? A totally changed Mondeo - the Titanium X Sport version .
The price will be around £25,355

The recall covers F-250 and F-350 2008 trucks in total : 65,000

The heavy duty pickups have a flaw : the fuel tank . In a 30 mph front-end collision the fuel tank will move from its place causing the fuel to spill , this creates the danger of fire .

Ford will strengthen the tank mounting making the front-end crash more secure

The warranty has been increased by 25,000 miles , on all the new manufactured gasoline engines after April 1. It now reaches three years or 100,000 miles.

Ford said that the prices will not be increased , the engines and transmissions will cost the same as before the increase in warranty. Previously they covered three years or 75,000 miles.
The diesel engines do not get the extended warranty , they remain with the two years unlimited mileage cover

The warranty on all Ford parts begins when the client actually buys the item , not when it is manufactured. It is a major boost in Ford’s image .
