Ford EcoSport Concept

Ford has officially unveiled the EcoSport ahead of the Delhi Auto Expo. The vehicle wears a CUV version of the company's Kinetic design language with a large octagonal grille and discreet headlights. Despite its concept looks, Ford says the vehicle could be in production in as little as six months.

Under the hood, the EcoSport boasts the smallest Ecoboost engine ever created. The turbocharged 1.0-liter, three-cylinder engine is good for around 118 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque, though a small-displacement diesel option may bow in the future.

The EcoSport will be built in India and Brazil and is likely to play a large role in growing the Ford presence worldwide. The vehicle will head to 100 markets globally and is slated to be the second of eight new Ford products headed to India by 2015. That doesn't mean we'll be seeing the CUV on our soil anytime soon, however.

First Ford Focus Electric heads to Google

Ford Focus Electric at Google

This time last year, Ford was pulling the wraps off the Focus Electric at CES in Las Vegas. Twelve months later, Ford is slowly beginning production of its first EV at its Michigan Assembly plant and dropped off one early example to the crew at Google.

We're not sure what the search giant is doing with Dearborn's inaugural EV, but something involving either Google Street View or its autonomous vehicle program isn't out of the question. Or maybe just Brin and Page wanted something with a 100-mile range and quick charging to replace their aging pair of Prii.

U.S. Car, Light Truck Market Rises 10.3 Percent to 12.8 Million in 2011

Posted on January 5, 2012 by admin
Compact or midsize in 2012? That will be the big question, as Ford, Chevrolet, Honda and Nissan play catch-up with Toyota, Hyundai and Kia, and release new midsize sedans later this year. Despite the growing strength of compacts as car prices rise and smaller cars get better and more well-equipped, Ford is now predicting that [...]

I had an awesome experience with Andrus. I was very satisfied with my new car and very happy that I got my truck paid off plus I was able to keep payments within my budget. Thank you Andrus and I will definitely come back when I want to trade in this car for another!!!
