The 2010 SVT Raptor due this Fall

PRESS RELEASE:
Ford, the definitive leader in tough trucks, is further building on its solid foundation of the new F-150 to deliver the all-new 2010 F-150 SVT Raptor, a purpose-built, high-performance off-road truck versatile enough to take on the most challenging desert adventures as well as the everyday commute.

"Ford trucks have been a mainstay on the off-road racing scene for more that 20 years because of our long history of capability and durability," said Derrick Kuzak, Ford's group vice president for Global Product Development. "With the F-150 SVT Raptor, we are delivering a true off-road performance truck with the proven 'Built Ford Tough' capability and durability that is at the core of every F-150 and the best in performance thanks to the team at SVT."
"Like its fighter jet and dinosaur namesakes, the F-150 SVT Raptor is tough, fast, aggressive, and built with the off-road enthusiast in mind," he added.

You should read more and if you have any questions, feel free to Call Dan Lozott "The Car Guy" 1-800-587-0369

The F-150 SVT Raptor will be built along side the new F-150 at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant at the historic Rouge Center in Dearborn, Mich.

The SHO upgrades the 2010 Taurus

The SHO upgrades the 2010 Taurus thanks in large part to a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6. It’s the most powerful EcoBoost engine, relying on twin turbochargers and direct injection to deliver 365 hp and 350 ft.-lb. of torque. Efficient engineering brings V-8 robustness to the Taurus without sacrificing V-6 fuel economy.

This power boost calls for even more refined control. On the new SHO, steering-wheel–mounted SelectShift paddles allow drivers who want full sway over the car’s operation to switch from automatic to manual mode — a convenient, intuitive way to master the new engine. These paddles feature “match-rev” downshifts, supporting smooth transitions between upward and downward shifts. All-wheel drive encourages this superior performance under diverse road conditions.

Drivers who really want the most out of the new Taurus can opt for an SHO Performance Package, with upgraded brake pads, recalibrated EPAS for greater responsiveness, a “sport” mode to complement the standard AdvanceTrac electronic stability control, and a shorter 3.16 to 1 final drive ratio for faster acceleration. For good measure, summer-compound Goodyear Eagle F1 performance tires give the Taurus SHO’s 19-inch wheels a powerful grip.

Sharp eyes will notice a few subtle differences between the SHO and the standard 2010 Ford Taurus: a decklid-mounted spoiler, twin chrome exhaust tips, and unique parking-lamp bezels. And the interior is accented with leather-trimmed seats, a perforated leather-wrapped steering wheel, aluminum-trimmed accelerator and brake pedals, and SHO-branded console, instrument, and door panels.

Built in Ford’s Chicago assembly plant, the 2010 Taurus SHO hits dealerships this summer, starting at $37,995.

2010 Ford Mustang Pricing Starts at $20,995

The 2010 Ford Mustang will start at just $20,995, the V8-engined GT starts at $27,995 and the 540 HP 2010 Shelby GT 500 will go for $46,325. That's some seriously cheap muscle.

I can get you a great price on the Mustang or what ever Ford you desire. Dan Lozott "The Car Guy" @ 425-344-7556

Carroll Shelby Swears At Ferrari, Debuts GT500 Snake Prudhomme Edition

The video from the debut of the Shelby GT500 Super Snake Prudhomme Edition includes not only the wicked dragster-inspired 'Stang, but also a touch of Shelby's "wit" on display.
Some may not appreciate the $149,995 price tag, but for a super rare Shelby (just 100 examples) good for 750 HP with a fiberglass full-tilt front end, no rear seats and a quasi-drag setup this is one of the meanest street-legal vehicles to come with a warranty. Not to mention, it looks insane.

2010 Aston Martin One-77 - Auto Shows

2010 Aston Martin One-77 - Auto Shows

We have reported endlessly, it seems, on the stunningly fast, stunningly expensive, and stunningly styled Aston Martin One-77 in advance of the car’s official unveiling, which has just taken place at the 2009 Geneva auto show. Now that the supercar is out of the bag, we have more details on the most ambitious automobile in the company’s history.
Race Car Inside
The One-77’s architecture was guided, Aston says, by the principles of front-engine/rear-drive touring-car racers, incorporating a carbon-fiber monocoque and a double-wishbone suspension that features inboard, pushrod-actuated dynamic shocks. And, as with race cars themselves, final suspension tuning that will be set once the vehicle is actually delivered to the owner for the ultimate in customization. Interestingly, Aston claims that the beauty of each mechanical component was considered as the One-77 progressed, not just its function. And having seen it in person now, we can personally vouch for the company’s efforts.

Ford Bucks Detroit Trend With 3 New Car Models

The number of new models that will make a debut in 2009 will probably total fewer than 10, according to product plans revealed by the car companies.
“The environment is obviously not good as far as the economy and consumer confidence goes,” said Joseph Phillippi, principal in the firm Auto Trends Consulting.
Ford, however, is bringing out three new vehicles this year — the Fusion, with either a hybrid or conventional engine; the new Taurus sedan and the Transit Connect van.
Ford will introduce the Fusion Hybrid with an advertising campaign beginning Tuesday night on “American Idol.”

Maxximus G-Force: First (and Last) Glimpse of a 1600-hp Beast - Car News

A gearhead fairy tale: a wistful mechanic and a wealthy benefactor create a 1600-hp Ultima-based road demon.
BY STEVE SILERThe invitation was brief, but intriguing. “Philanthropist and businessman David McMahan unveils the world’s newest, fastest, street legal supercar, officially certified by the World Records Academy. Please join us for breakfast and viewing this remarkable, beautifully crafted, one-of-a kind car, harnessing over 1600 horsepower.” Three eye-popping numbers that suggested that, if not the fastest, the G-Force might be one of the quickest cars in the world: 0–60 in 2.134 seconds; 0–100 in 4.541 seconds; 0–100–0 in 8.861 seconds.
We’re not sure if there is a real good way to harness 1600 hp, but if any car is going to be able to snatch “world’s fastest” status from the current titleholder, it’s going to need all the horsepower it can get. The record is currently held by, depending on who you ask, either the 1001-hp, 253-mph Bugatti Veyron 16.4 or the 1183-hp SSC Ultimate Aero (built by Shelby Supercars), the latter of which the Guinness Book of Records certified as the world’s fastest production car when it hit 256 mph in 2007. The 2009 Ultimate Aero now makes 1287 hp, for what it’s worth.
We arrived at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills, stood around the car’s satin-draped form, and waited, ready with questions. What is Maxximus? Where is it based? What exactly is under the hood of the G-Force? How much will it cost? How many will be built? And of course, when do we get to drive it? Within minutes, the regal Dr. McMahan wafted in, accompanied by Marion Kirby, the builder of the G-Force, to give us the answers.
The Ultimate Ultima
How does one build a car that beats the fastest cars in the world? Well, for an outfit as “mini” as Maxximus, starting with a solid basis was key. Kirby chose as his starting point Great Britain’s featherweight, mid-engine Ultima GTR720, which has been available as a kit or turnkey car in more or less the same form for a quarter of a century. The Ultima GTR is hardly new, but it’s always been quick. Our most recent GTR test happened way back in April 2000. An expensive car at $152,150 as tested, that example’s 345-hp Corvette-sourced LS1 V-8 powered the 2314-pound skateboard to a 3.3-second 0–60 time and an 8.2-second 0–100 time. It also pulled 0.98 g on the skidpad. Those are all impressive figures, even today. The later GTR720 uses a 720-hp small-block Chevrolet engine to generate acceleration figures that are among the best of all “production” street cars in history: 0–60 in 2.6 seconds, 100 mph in 5.3 seconds, and 0–100–0 in 9.4 seconds, according to Ultima.

World's cheapest car set for production. Emphasis on "cheap"

Here's a good way to build a cheap car: take out the airbags, power steering, rear seat belts, anti-lock brakes, and most cylinders, all frills, and other standard safety equipment. Do that and you'll end up with a four-door, four-seater, 33-hp 2-cylinder car that you can sell to a hungry market with decidedly low expectations for about 100,000 rupees ($1,988). Which still seems kind of expensive when you consider that you can buy a new Kia Rio for $10,000.
Often called the Model T of the 21st century, the Tata Nano is expected to go into production for the growing Indian automotive market on March 23, with orders being accepted in April.
According to the company's website, "The Nano's safety performance exceeds current regulatory requirements." That may be true for India, but lack of seatbelts in the rear is enough to bar it from the U.S. market.
The EU may have more strict emissions standards that the U.S., but apparently tragically weaker safety standards, and the vehicle is expected to retail in Europe for 5,000 euros ($6,347) next year.
While Tata says it conforms with Euro IV emission standards, it doesn't say much in terms of crash tests. While we don't know what a Nano vs. Land Rover side impact test will look like, its diminutive size and weight (1300 lbs) means it it probably conforms nicely to European pedestrian safety laws,

FORD VERVE CONCEPT HINTS AT FORD’S FUTURE SMALL-CAR DESIGN VISION

FRANKFURT , 23 August 2007 – Ford Verve Concept – a bold and colourful concept car to be revealed at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor Show – gives the first hints of Ford’s future small-car design vision. The significance of the Ford Verve Concept is that it's the first physical evidence of the design direction for an all-new small Ford since it was announced earlier this year that the European arm of the company's global Product Development group is taking the design and engineering lead in creating a new small-car portfolio for major world markets. The Ford Verve Concept is the first of three concept vehicles which will debut in key regions – Europe, Asia and North America. “Ford Verve Concept is presented here in Frankfurt as a bespoke concept car to generate reactions while our production plans are taking shape,” said John Fleming, President and CEO of Ford of Europe. “Our Design team took an unrestrained approach to how our future small cars could look, and this eye-catching concept was one of the results. If we get the reaction we expect, I’m certain that the team will incorporate elements of this advanced design vision into our final production design. This will make the next generation of small cars from Ford very compelling indeed.” read more...

An eye on Detroit: NAIAS '09 - Day 1

Keeping an eye on the competition in Cobo today... guess which manufacturer's car this is from? Judging by the response of some auto makers, you'd have thought this year's Detroit autoshow wouldn't be worth the effort. However, judging by twitter chatter, mainstream news coverage and the response of people on the ground, hell hasn't actually frozen over (its only Detroit's pavements) and those that ventured to the Cobo Hall today for the start of the North American International Auto Show 2009, were rewarded with some treats and surprises. This show was always going to be about certain North American manufacturers proving to a skeptical American public they deserved bailout money, and for every other manufacturer, a chance to prove the auto industry wasn't actually on its knees, and could still deliver the vision, and kick-ass products that would make people open their wallets.

Ford Fiesta

The Ford Fiesta shows big aspirations for new small cars.
The Fiesta showcases the style, technology, premium materials and substantial content that will set it apart when Ford’s new small cars go on sale in North America in 2010. Ford is injecting decades of European small car excellence into a new global family of small cars that are dynamic in design and performance.

The Fiesta aims to transform North American customers’ views of small cars. It will appeal to “Millennials” – the fastest-growing segment of the population – as well as their parents. These customers have grown up with the Internet, mobile phones and 24/7 connectivity, and they believe bigger is not necessarily better, precision is everything and technology rules Read More...

The new Ranger -Tough but not rough

Information
Mission: New for 2009, the Ford Ranger gets a distinctive, muscular Tough Style exterior. With genuine class-leading TDCi power and performance, the compact pickup not only looks tough. It is tough.

Expect to see this headline describing the new Ford Ranger in the media soon. After all, it was a slogan coined by the journalists themselves during the regional media drive for the compact pickup in Thailand last week.

It was at the end of the first day of the drive and the journalists were thinking of words to describe the Ranger after listening to APA chief designer Paul Gibson’s presentation on the truck’s “Tough Style”.

Pretty? Elegant?

No, no, and no, said Gibson.

But they finally agreed on “tough but not rough”. Not rough and unrefined like a traditional agricultural workhorse but sleek and stylish with the polish of high-end quality products.

“The new face of the Ranger won’t be out of place in a parking lot in the mall, yet the styling’s also not too soft for the farm,” said the editor of a top motoring magazine in the Philippines. “The styling’s struck the right balance between the country and the city.” Read more

Ford seeks surfers to test Fiesta

DETROIT--Ford Motor Co. wants to use social-networking sites such as Facebook to generate buzz for its new Fiesta subcompact. But it will rely on company outsiders to get the early word out. Although the Fiesta doesn't go on sale in the United States until early next year, Ford is putting the car in the hands of 100 Internet-savvy consumers for long-term test drives beginning in April.

The consumers, who will be chosen after applying at www.fiestamovement.com, will then relate their experiences through social networking sites such as Facebook, Flickr, and YouTube.

2010 Ford Fusion is best gas-electric hybrid yet

By James R. Healey, Read the story here USA TODAY

OK, let's just get it out there: The 2010 Ford Fusion hybrid is the best gasoline-electric hybrid yet.
What makes it best is a top-drawer blend of an already very good midsize sedan with the industry's smoothest, best-integrated gas-electric power system. It's so well-done that you have to look to the $107,000 Lexus LS 600h hybrid to come close. Fusion's $28,000 starting price is more or less in reach, the driving feel is good, and the interior has a premium look and feel.
There are three facets to consider in evaluating a gasoline-electric hybrid: the underlying vehicle itself, the hybrid system and the mileage.

Car sellers looking to make a deal

Amidst December’s heavy snow, Ford of Kirkland
dealer Jim Walen was busy brushing off his cars
and trucks and directing a snowplow to clear a path
for potential customers to reach his business.
Faced with fewer buyers with the economy in
recession, Walen and Ford Motor Company are
pulling out all the stops to get car and truck buyers
in the door. A combination of aggressive vehicle
pricing and financing, a “fuel-efficient” F-150 truck that gets up to 21
miles a gallon and award-winning customer service are the strategy
he hopes will get the dealership increasing sales again.
“There’s not a better time to buy a vehicle,” he said.
Nationally, Ford is doing better than U.S. competitors GM and
Chrysler and passing on emergency federal loans to stay afloat. But
nearly all auto retailers worldwide are seeing a steep downturn.
Ford’s sales were down 40 percent in January from a year earlier.
Weak consumer spending and tight credit markets are spurring the
auto makers to offer enticing deals and affordable loans to attract
new customers. Ford is projecting sales of around 12 million vehicles
for this year.
Back at Ford of Kirkland, Walen said the company’s latest promotion
called “Employee Plus” that ended Feb. 4 was successful. He said buyers were offered a discount “employee
price,” plus additional cash back rebates on a number of car models. They also offered zero-percent interest
financing for the new F-150 truck for customers who chose not to take the added cash back.
Long-term, Walen is relying on brand loyalty, customer service and a diverse range of vehicles that will sell in
a tough market. One of those new vehicles is the 2010 hybrid Ford Fusion (at 41 miles per gallon/highway),
designed to compete with Toyota’s hybrid Prius and Camry. With 27 of this year’s Fusion model still on his lot
(24 mpg/hwy), Walen said it’s time to make a deal.
“You start with the $27,000 price, employee pricing takes it down to $2,400 plus you get a discount on top of
that,” he explained.
The combined savings bring the total cost of the compact car down to $21,000.
Financing through their lending arm to customers with credit scores of 620 or better is also keeping Ford of
Kirkland chugging along. His top salesman, Todd Ireland, inked a contract for a used XLT Ford Ranger with
Issaquah resident Loren Matteson on a recent afternoon. Aretired union employee from a rock and gravel
plant, the 71-year-old and his wife have a steady retirement income and own their own home and qualified for
a low-rate loan.
“Financing is a big component of our business,” he said. “Now more than ever.”
Matteson said he was looking for an American made truck with four-wheel drive that could make it up his
steep driveway. A mixed blessing, the weather actually helped spur truck sales, Walen said, where Ford has
done comparatively well.
“Teamsters buy American,” Ireland added.
Taking care of their customers is also a central part of Walen’s business strategy. Service director Tom
Olsen, was recently recognized for the dealership’s top customer satisfaction ratings for the four year
running.
But doing business in the recession economy has challenged Ford of Kirkland to do more with less. New
numbers are showing city sales-tax receipts are trending sharply downward, off 19 percent for November.
Walen has seen sales from his lot plummet 25 percent from 2007, forcing him to cut back on his staff. Two
years ago, he had 92 employees. Today, he’s got 65 full-time staff. He’s also had to deal with an additional
$5,000 more in local business-taxes and set to go higher if he hires back employees.
“We wish they’d try to help business, rather than make us less competitive,” he said.
But there is a silver lining – as demand shrinks, Ford of Kirkland has seen his share of the market grow. They
sold 822 vehicles last year, the most in the state of Washington out of 74
Ford dealerships.
Sitting at his desk adorned with a large red “Easy Button,” Walen was confident that the investment made in
his customers through deep discounts, financing and customer service has its dividends in the long run.
“Taking care of every single customer pays you back down the road,” he said. “Big time.”

Press Release - Ford Quality

Ford's Warranty Repair Costs Decline Further in 2008 as Quality Continues to Improve
- Ford has reduced its worldwide warranty repairs costs by $1.2 billion in the past two years.
- The warranty repair rate for Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles in the U.S. is now almost 50 percent lower than it was in 2004.
- Since 2005, each new model from Ford has consistently delivered better quality than the models they replaced.


DEARBORN, Mich., Feb. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Ford Motor Company's (NYSE: F) steady vehicle quality improvement in recent years is beginning to translate into significant savings for the company and far fewer trips by customers to the repair shop.

In the past two years alone, Ford has reduced its warranty repairs costs by $1.2 billion, according to the latest company figures. These savings can be attributed to four straight years of quality improvements on Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles. Ford's initial quality is now in a virtual tie with Honda-Acura and Toyota-Lexus-Scion for the 2008 model year, according to the latest U.S. Global Quality Research System (GQRS) study.

Ford strives to be best in class in every phase of vehicle development - from design to pre-delivery - internal measures continue to show the company is making significant quality strides.

For example:

-- The warranty repair rate for Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles in the United States is now almost 50 percent lower than it was in 2004.

-- Ford F-Series Super Duty and Lincoln Mark LT rank atop their respective segments with fewest "things gone wrong" (TGW) and in customer satisfaction.

-- Ford Mustang GT500 had the least number of TGWs among sports cars.
-- Overall, 18 of 24 Ford domestic brand vehicles posted TGW improvements.


"Ford is following a set of standardized processes around the world in product development, manufacturing and purchasing with a discipline this company has never seen," said Bennie Fowler, Ford group vice president, Global Quality.

Continued Improvements

The drive to improve quality is most evident during a new-model launch. Since 2005, each new model from Ford has consistently delivered better quality - as measured by warranty rates and things-gone-wrong metrics - than the models they replaced.

"The last 24 months have revealed some of our best quality results," said Curt Yun, director, Global Warranty. "Our new models have been achieving continuously declining warranty repair rates and lower warranty costs, as a direct result of our overall quality improvements."

In the U.S., for example, owners of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles have reported fewer concerns at three years in service for each of the past five years, according to the Global Quality Research System (GQRS) survey, compiled for Ford by the research firm RDA Group.

"We've reached the point where our initial quality is second to none among the full-line manufacturers," said Fowler. "We expect that high quality to be reflected in future high-mileage surveys as our new models age."

Built-in Design Quality

Ford's Global Product Development System ensures quality is built-in early in the process. It starts with the company's commitment to develop and implement consistent standardized engineering processes. By fully utilizing Computer Assisted Design toolsets, Ford is signing off on all aspects of its designs even before the first prototype is built.

Ford's design and engineering analysis processes make it possible for problems that previously might not have surfaced until launch to be flagged and corrected in the virtual world. Ford uses cutting edge virtual tools to verify up to 40,000 design standards in its Virtual Engineer Lab. Virtual technology also is used to confirm that the product can be manufactured with quality in the assembly plant for which it is slated.

Manufacturing Quality Process

Ford also provides assembly plant teams the necessary tools to deliver quality in the manufacturing process. For example, the company's Quality Operating System (QOS) is critical for identifying and correcting problems within the manufacturing facilities.

QOS is implemented in each plant by Variability Reduction Teams (VRT) - cross-functional groups of engineers, plant management and product specialists, including the company's most skilled problem solvers who've been trained through Six Sigma. Each team is assigned to one of 12 vehicle subsystems crucial to customer satisfaction, such as paint or body interior, and examines every detail, looking for imperfections so slight that even the untrained eye, or ear, could not detect them.

For example, Ford's 2010 Taurus was subjected to rigorous testing for squeaks and rattles at each design phase. Every inch of the vehicle was scrutinized for unwanted noise from the outside in, down to the sound of the Easy Fuel(TM) Capless Fuel Filler door when it's closed.

Another example includes the development of Ford's new fuel-efficient 3.5- liter EcoBoost V-6 engine. By the time the first twin-turbocharged, direct injection engine is decked to a 2010 Lincoln MKS this summer at the Chicago Assembly Plant, the equivalent of more than one-million grueling test miles will have been logged by EcoBoost prototypes.

Ford also uses a process called Early Claims Binning to help streamline communications about potential quality issues between plants and dealerships. Warranty claims are fed to the assembly plant every day where the issue is dissected and either traced back to the installation process and addressed on-site or fed back to the design engineer for resolution in design.

Customer-driven Quality

Ford's commitment to deliver the best quality possible for its customers is unwavering and the company is committed to pushing its quality levels even higher.

As Ford's newest vehicles hit the road, company officials expect warranty claims to continue their downward trend.

"I see the recent $1.2 billion in worldwide warranty cost savings as a compelling reason to continue down this path," Yun said. "Instead of setting aside those funds to fix cars, we'd much rather invest it in exciting product programs for our customers."

Ford's commitment to world-class quality extends beyond preventing things that go wrong. Customer-driven product features, such as fuel economy, craftsmanship, and quiet interiors are designed into the vehicle to deliver an exceptional and affordable ownership experience.

"This is One Ford at its best," said Fowler. "It has taken thousands of dedicated people, from the plant floor to the executive suite, working together to strive for quality every day."

Auto industry and new challenges ahead

In the news today it looks like not only are we looking at better ways to get better fuel efficient cars, our president has increased the speed that we will be making that change.

On Monday Jan 26th 2009, Obama ordered new guidelines in place to start affecting cars sold in 2011. Obama Directs Regulators to Tighten Auto Rules

Obama directed his administration to get moving on new fuel-efficiency guidelines for the auto industry in time to cover 2011 model-year cars.
A law passed by Congress in 2007 requires that by 2020, new cars and trucks meet a standard of 35 miles per gallon, a 40 percent increase over the status quo. But the Bush administration did not set regulations in support of that law.
Industry officials have also said they would face billions of dollars in new costs to meet the rules at a time when General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC have received billions in federal loans to stay afloat.

Mean while we are loosing dealers at an alarming rate.

About 2,500 U.S. auto dealers may close in 2009, or more than 10 percent of the nation's car and light-truck retailers.

General Motors Corp., Ford Motor Co., and Chrysler LLC said about 988 of their auto dealerships closed or were consolidated last year.

GM, Ford, Chrysler Lost About 988 Auto Dealers During 2008

Ford saw around 300 dealers shutter their doors last year. Chrysler had 287 U.S. dealers close last year.

Not to mention there will be a shedding of some of the nation's largest auto-parts makers are planning for potential bankruptcy filings. Auto Supplier Industry May Ask for Bailout Money

Here at Ford of Kirkland we are doing just the opposite, while others in our industry are contracting, we are expanding. We have added used cars to our lot this week bringing our inventory up by 30% .We will be getting more new vehicles than any other Washington Ford dealer, Jim Walen our dealer owner principle said, “we will do all we can to be # 1 in our region and Jim will will be on hand to make sure we are a viable business in 2009”.
