Ford Expects to Remain Best-Selling Vehicle Brand in North America

Tweet

ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich - For the fourth straight year in a row, Ford remains the best-selling vehicle brand in North America. Racking up a sales total of 2.4 million vehicles, Ford increased retail sales by 15 percent.

Thanks in part to solid growth in western and southeastern regions on the United States, Ford has taken a strong lead over Toyota. Sales are not growing in just one specific segment either, vehicle sales in cars, trucks, and utilities are all playing a great role in the company's success. In 2012, Ford lead Toyota by 329,677 vehicles and through November of this year, they are leading by 396,041 vehicles.

The strongest of retail sales is coming from import-dominated western and southeastern regions of the country. Sales in the West are up 23 percent and 18 percent in the Southeast. Ford expects the retail sales total for 2013 to surpass 1.7 million vehicles, making for the best retail sales in six years! The Ford Fiesta had a terrific 2013, setting a new sales record with 70,000-plus vehicles sold. The Ford Fusion had its best year ever, with sales projected to exceed 290,000 vehicles.

With the U.S. economy improving and increasing home construction, the Ford F-Series pickup took the cake for the 37 year in a row as the nation's best-selling truck. Sales totaling 688,810 through November, the F-Series will be the overall best-selling vehicle in America for the 32nd year.

We cannot wait to see the success Ford will have in 2014, hopefully continuing to be the best-selling vehicle brand in North America. In the mean time, you can take home a best-selling vehicle of your very own!

With a Predicted Great 2013 Outcome, Ford Looks Forward to the New Year

Tweet

ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich - With a predicted great 2013 outcome, Ford looks forward to the new year. Ford expects 2013 to be one the best full-year results in its history. Revenue has grown, market share in all regions have improved or are equal to last year, total company pre-tax profit is at about $8.5 billion, there is substantially higher Automotive operating-related cash flow, and a stronger balance sheet.

With 2014 less than a week away, Ford cannot wait to see what it holds for the company. It too is expected to be a solid year and an important next step in the One Ford plan. Ford is launching the most vehicles in a single year in more than a century and is investing across the business for profitable growth in the years ahead.

The 23 all-new or significantly refreshed vehicles will be launched around the world, more than double the 11 global vehicle launches in 2013. In 2014, Ford is investing across the world to support next year's launches, but also to drive profitable growth beyond 2014 as they serve more customers in more markets and in more segments. In North America alone, Ford will triple the number of vehicles launched in 2013. Although it is Ford's largest region, Ford expects North America 2014 pre-tax profit to be lower than in 2013, with an operating margin ranging from 8 to 9 percent, consistent with the company's targeted ongoing range of 8 to 10 percent.

Although there are always risks and complications that may unexpectedly occur, Ford is still looking forward to the new year and heading in with a positive foot forward. Ford Motor Company is ready to work hard and continue to provide the world with exceptional vehicles.

Start off the new year in a great used or pre-owned car from Roy O'Brien Ford. If you are looking for a virtually new vehicle at a used car price, check out the great variety of Ford Certified Pre-Owned Cars available at our dealership.

Non-Cookie Recipes to Try This Christmas

Tweet

ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich - Christmas cookies are a great treat that many look forward to during the holidays, but why not try something new? Spice up your dessert options and give one of these non-cookie recipes a try this Christmas. From candied almonds to chocolate pretzels, each of these treats is unique and will definitely leave your tummy extremely happy!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Candies:

- 24 oz powdered sugar

- 16 oz crunchy peanut butter

- 1 cup butter or margarine, softened

- 12 oz semisweet chocolate chips

- 1 tbsp shortening

Position knife blade in food processor. Add half each of powdered sugar, peanut butter, and butter; top with cover. Process until thoroughly mixed. Shape into one-inch balls. Repeat process. Combine chocolate and shortening in top of a double boiler; bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer until chocolate melts. Dip each ball in chocolate until partially coated. Place on waxed paper until chocolate hardens. Store in airtight container in refrigerator. Yield: about 7 dozen (4 per serving).

Homemade Peppermint Patties:

- 2 1/4 cups powdered sugar

- 2 tbsp softened butter

- 2 tsp peppermint extract

- 2 tbsp cream

- 12 oz melting chocolate wafers 

Click here for step by step photos and instructions!  

Spiced Candied Pecans:

- 4 cups pecans

- 1 cup sugar

- 2 tsp ground cinnamon 

- 1 tsp sea salt

- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

- 1/4 tsp ground ginger

- 1 egg white

- 1 tbsp filtered water

Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent nuts from sticking. In a gallon size Ziploc bag, combine sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Seal tightly and shake to combine. In a second gallon size Ziploc bag, combine 1 egg white with 1 tbsp filtered water. After sealing, squish until frothy, about 20 – 30 seconds. Add pecans to the frothy egg white bag. Seal and shake well until nuts are evenly coated. Pour egg-y nuts into the bag with the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Seal and shake again until all nuts are coated. Pour nuts onto the lined baking sheet. Place sheet into 250 degree oven and bake for one hour, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent nuts from burning. Allow nuts to completely cool before packaging.

Chocolate Covered Pretzels:

- 1 Package of long pretzel rods
- Baker's semi-sweet chocolate
- Baker's white chocolate
- Assorted sprinkles, chopped nuts, etc.

Melt the chocolates in separate double boilers until chocolate is completely melted and smooth.  Remove from heat. Create an assembly line with the 2 bowls of chocolate, your choice of toppings, and a baking tray lined with tin foil. Using a spoon, spoon the chocolate over the pretzel, leaving a few inches bare as a "handle." Allow the excess chocolate to drip off the pretzels by twisting and wiggling the pretzel. This will help to avoid the chocolate pooling under the pretzel or into the toppings. Immediately cover chocolate with desired toppings and place on foil-lined baking sheet.  When the sheet is full, place it in the freezer to set for about 10 mins. Once set, they're ready to be served or kept in an air-tight container for a few days. 

We hope you give one of these delicious non-cookie recipes a try this Christmas! These favorites of ours are easy, unique, and are sure to be a crowd pleaser!

Tips for Safe Winter Driving

Tweet

ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich - As we make our way into the second week of December, is it about time we prepare for our Michigan winter. Many of us know that a Michigan winters are unpredictable. They can really start during any point of the fall season and last until the beginning of spring. We never really know what to expect. It is always important to drive safely on the roads during rough weather conditions; the winter season in particular. We have complied a list of most important tips for you to keep in mind while you are on the roads this winter:

1. Keep your lights and windshield clean.
2. Avoid skidding by braking gently. If your wheels do happen to lock up, ease off of the brakes.
3. Do not use overdrive or cruise control on icy roads.
4. Decrease your speed on the road and leave plenty of space for stopping between you and the vehicle in front of you.
5. Do not pass snow plows or sanding trucks. Typically, the roads in front of these vehicles are worse and the drivers have limited visibility. Stay safe by staying a few car distances behind them.
6. Use low gears to keep proper traction, especially on hills.
7. Be very careful on brides, overpasses, and infrequently traveled roads. When conditions are wet, even if the temperature is above freezing, it is possible that ice will still be in covered or exposed areas.
8. Don't assume your vehicle is equipped to handle all weather conditions. Four-wheel and front-wheel drive vehicles are still able to encounter difficulties on winter roads.

Be sure to keep these driving tips in mind as well as prepare your vehicle for the winter weather conditions. At Roy O'Brien Ford, customer service is our top priority. We are happy to assist you with any of your vehicle needs. Are you looking for a vehicle to help keep you safe this winter?

Ford to Consider Diesel, Hybrid and Electric Options for New Mustang

Tweet

ST.CLAIR SHORES, Mich. - In today's world, car companies are expected to offer green options to their customers so that they can drive vehicles that are fuel-efficient and good for the environment. Ford in particular knows that this is what is best for customers and the world we live in, which is why it is always seeking out new ways to improve fuel economy or eliminate the use of gasoline altogether. When it comes to the 2015 Ford Mustang, their thinking of a greener drive is the same. That's why Ford is considering diesel, hybrid and electric options for the new Mustang.

As of right now, the 2015 Ford Mustang will come with three engine options: a 3.7-liter V6, 2.3-liter 4-cylinder EcoBoost and a 5.0-liter V8. The EcoBoost option is completely brand new for the pony car, and a great number of Ford drivers are excited about the gas-saving option. The EcoBoost will allow for drivers of the new 2015 Ford Mustang to have all the power that the vehicle is known for without guzzling gas.

Ford wants to continue the great work that's been made with the EcoBoost option and provide Ford drivers with even more green alternatives. That's why Ford is considering producing other versions of the new Mustang that will have diesel, hybrid or electric options. If Ford introduces these green options in the Mustang lineup, the pony car will be leaps and bounds ahead of other muscle cars on the market when it comes to fuel-efficiency. As of right now, the 2015 Ford Mustang is the most economical Mustang that Ford has produced.

While the current 2014 Ford Mustang doesn't have an EcoBoost option, a number of the other vehicles on our lot do! To find out which vehicles are made specifically to help you save money on gas, stop by our dealership. We are proud to be a Southgate Area Ford Dealership that helps customers with everything from Special Financing to Auto Loans and more!

2015 Ford Mustang Revealed

Tweet

ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich. - Christmas has come early for pony car lovers since the 2015 Ford Mustang has finally been revealed! Ford held debut events across the globe for the new 2015 version, and millions scrambled to their computers to get the first look - here it is:

The new design, first revealed this week, features a long, sculpted hood and a short rear deck - a design slightly reminiscent of the mid-1960s Mustang. In fact, designers have admitted that while they tore the vehicle apart and completely redesigned every aspect, they didn't want to lose the pony car's history. That's why they kept a few of the styling cues from the 60's iconic car while also making the lines more modern and smooth. Let's pause for a second and admire the Mustang's beauty:

Continuing on - Along with the sculpted hood, Ford has moved the headlights forwards and the entire cabin back. Pushing the cabin back has resulted in a longer hood and a shorter end. The wheels are 20mm on each side of the vehicle and the vehicle itself sits lower and wider than it has in previous years.

The interior of the new pony car is made to feel luxurious and comfortable. In the double-brow dash you'll find large round gauges, toggled switches, and a symmetrical instrument panel. You'll also notice the premium materials used to create the inside of the cabin, as Ford designers used only the best aluminum, leather and metal.

As for what can be found underneath the pony car’s hood, Mustang buyers will have three engines to choose from with an updated version of the current 3.7-liter V6 that produces 300 HP, a 5.0-liter V8 that put outs 420 HP and a brand new 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder. The EcoBoost option is perfect for those looking to take advantage of the Mustang power without sacrificing fuel economy, as it will produce 305+ HP while getting projected class-leading fuel efficiency – talk about the whole package!

We are so excited about the reveal of the 2015 Ford Mustang and all the information that has come out about this fantastic muscle car. Even with all the information available to us about the 2015 Ford Mustang, there are still a few specifics we're waiting to here about, such as if this new model is in fact 200 pounds lighter than the current model, what the EPA ratings will be for this vehicle, etc. As soon as we find out more information, we'll pass our knowledge on to you!

If you'd like to discuss the current 2014 model or take a look at one of our other great vehicles, stop by our dealership! We have a wide variety of Used Cars For Sale, as well as New Ford Cars and New Ford Trucks. We are proud to be a Used Car Dealership near Southgate, MI.

Ford Sees Best Retail Sales Month for November Since 2004

Tweet

ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich. - Ford has been on a roll this year and shows no signs of stopping. In fact, Ford has just announced that they had their best retail sales month for November since 2004 with a 7 percent increase in U.S sales!

Due mainly in part to the fantastic sales increase of the Ford Fusion and Ford Fiesta, Ford experienced a 7 percent increase in sales compared to last year and a 9 percent increase in retail sales total. This increase makes for Ford's best November retail sales month since 2004!

Both the Fusion and Fiesta set November records with Fusion sales up 51 percent since last year and the Fiesta selling 4,642 vehicles this month alone. The Ford F-Series is also experiencing great sales for the seventh month in a row, selling over 65,501 trucks in November! This number cements the F-Series as America's best-selling pickup and best-selling vehicle for another consecutive year.

With these three vehicles leading the way to a fantastic quarter, Ford has predicted they are on track to build 770,000 vehicles in the first quarter of 2014 in North America - talk about a lot of cars!

If you'd like to see (or perhaps you already know) why Ford sells so many cars, stop by our dealership! We promise you'll fall in love with the superior performance, beautiful looks, and comfortable interior of Ford vehicles - both New Ford Cars and New Ford Trucks alike! No matter what type of vehicle you're looking for, we would be more than happy to help you find it. We are proud to be a Southgate Area Ford Dealership located in St. Clair Shores, MI.

Special Service Police Sedan is Most Fuel-Efficient Police Vehicle

Tweet

ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich. - Ford has worked hard to create a new police vehicle that is focused on improving gas mileage.. and boy, has it succeeded! In fact, Ford's Special Service Police Sedan has been named the most fuel-efficient police vehicle sold in the U.S.!

This special service police vehicle combines the durability of the Police Interceptor with the fuel efficiency of the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine. With an EPA-estimated rating of 30 mpg on the highway, the vehicle is designed to help detectives, administrators, campus police and law enforcement agents get better gas mileage. Since their positions typically don't require them to go on a high-speed chase after a perp, it makes more sense for them to have vehicles that are designed for efficiency as opposed to power.

When looking at a fleet as large as 150 vehicles, police agencies easily spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a year on gas alone. With these special service vehicles, it is estimated that when driven 30,000 miles per year with gas prices at $3.21 a gallon, these vehicles could save agencies approximately $257,940 over the course of three years - wow!

Along with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine, the new Special Service Police sedan also comes with Active Grille Shutters that help control the airflow in the vehicle in order to optimize the balance between engine cooling and aerodynamics. Both of these characteristics combined make the Special Service Police sedan the most fuel-efficient police vehicle on the market!

While we won't have these police sedans on our lot, ready to be taken away by anyone that pops by, we do have a great selection of vehicles that come with an EcoBoost option. If you'd like to experience similar fuel-efficiency, stop by our dealership today and explore your options! We would be more than happy to show you one of our New Ford Cars, New Ford Trucks, or Low Mileage Used Cars - whatever you want, we've got it!

Family owned and operated since 1946, Roy O'Brien Ford is located at 22201 E. 9 Mile Rd. St. Clair Shores, MI 48080 for all your Metro Detroit Ford Vehicle needs. Stay on the right track to Nine Mile and Mack!

Thanksgiving Leftover Recipes

Tweet

ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich. - After the big event, you're bound to be left wondering what to do with all the leftover food. While it's always great to warm up what's already made and eat it as is, this will only last so long before leftovers no longer sound appetizing. To make sure you use all your leftovers, we've gathered a few Thanksgiving Leftover Recipes that are as delicious as the original meal.

1. Thanksgiving Grilled Cheese. You'll need:

• 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
• 2 slices bread
• 1/2 lb. mixed Thanksgiving leftovers (turkey, stuffing, veggies, etc.)
• 2 slices cheese (your choice)
• 1/4 cup leftover gravy

Heat 1 tbsp. butter in a large skillet until melted. Add the bread and swirl it around to evenly coat it in butter. Cook until the bread is lightly golden brown, then transfer bread to cutting board, brown side up. Play 1 slice of cheese on top of browned surface on each slice of bread and top with thanksgiving leftovers. Close the sandwich. Heat half of the other tbsp. of butter and cook the sandwich until deep golden brown (about 3 minutes). Add the other half tbsp. of butter and flip the sandwich. After the other side has reached a golden brown, serve with a side of hot gravy.

2. Turkey N' Dumplings. You'll need:

• 6 tbsp. unsalted butter
• 3 tbsp. plus 1 1/2 cups flour (divided)
• 1 1/2 quarts chicken broth
• 1 cup leftover gravy
• 1 large onion
• 2 medium carrots
• 3 medium ribs celery
• 1 lb. leftover turkey
• 1 1/2 cups thawed frozen peas
• 1 1/2 cup minced fresh parsley leaves
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 2 tbsp. minced chives
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1 egg

Heat 3 tbsp. butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat until melted. Add 3 tbsp. flour and cook until pale golden brown. Slowly whisk in the brother and add gravy, onions, carrots, and celery. Bring to a simmer and cook until vegetables are softened. Stir in turkey, peas, and half of parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper and remove from heat. Melt the remaining 3 tbsp. of butter and combine remaining 1 1/2 cups flour, baking powder, chives, parsley, and 2/4 tsp. salt in a medium bowl. Combine buttermilk, eggs, and butter in a second bowl and then pour the buttermilk mixture over flour mixtur and stir until a dough is formed. Return stew to a bare simmer. Using a tablespoon measure, drop dough over surface of stew. Cover and cook until dumplings have puffed and feel firm to the touch (about 15 minutes). Serve immediately.

3. Leftover Pie Milkshake. You'll need:

• 1 slice of pie (we like pecan!)
• 1 tbsp. cranberry sauce
• 2 large scoops vanilla ice cream
• 1/2 cup whole milk or cream

Place your pie slice, cranberry sauce, ice cream, and milk in a blender. Blend on high until smooth and add cream or milk if thinner shake is desired. Add more ice cream if you'd like your shake to be thicker. Pour into tall glass and serve immediately with or without whipped cream.

Ford Edge Concept Revealed With Advanced Driving Technology

Tweet

ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich. - A Ford Edge Concept has been revealed with advanced driving technology and boy, are people talking! With an updated look and various technologies that give us a sneak peek into where Ford vehicles will be heading, this Ford Edge Concept is nothing short of fantastic.

The first driving technology that has sparked the public's interest is the remote parking feature that allows the vehicle to park itself completely on its own. If you are inside the vehicle, all you need to do is push and button and sit back while your vehicle perpendicular or parallel parks into an empty space. If you decide you want to step outside of the vehicle and watch the magic happen, you'll need to use a remote to tell your vehicle to go ahead and park.

Another technology that was made available on this Ford Edge Concept is a collision avoidance system. This system uses sensors and cameras to detect objects in front of the vehicle that may be slow-moving or stationary. Once an object is detected, your vehicle will alert you with enough time to slow down. If you make no action to stop or steer out of the way, your vehicle will take control of the pedals and wheel to steer your vehicle out of harm's way.

Along with these innovative technologies, the standard MyFord Touch infotainment system will continue to be offered with the Ford Edge Concept.

While it hasn't been confirmed by Ford that the Ford Edge Concept that was revealed with advanced driving technology will be the 2015 Ford Edge, many are suggesting that it will be. With all this fantastic technology and an updated look, we are certainly hoping this is the next model! If you'd like to take a look at the current model, stop by our dealership and we'll see you up with a test drive! If you decide that you can't possibly live without this vehicle, we'd be more than happy to go over how much you can save with the Ford Edge Lease Turn In offer.

Family owned and operated since 1946, Roy O'Brien Ford is located at 22201 E. 9 Mile Rd. St. Clair Shores, MI 48080 for all your Metro Detroit Ford Vehicle needs. Stay on the right track to Nine Mile and Mack!

Thanksgiving Side Dish Recipes

Tweet

ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich. - Thanksgiving is rapidly approaching which means you're either preparing to have family and friends over, or thinking about a dish to take to someone else's feast. Either way, we've come up with a few Thanksgiving side dish recipes that everyone will love.

1. Green Bean Casserole. This classic dish is super easy to make and always a traditional dish to serve at Thanksgiving dinner. For this you'll need:

• 2 (15 oz) cans cut green beans, drained
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 (10.75 oz) can condensed cream of mushroom soup
• 1 (2.8 oz) can French fried onions
• Salt and pepper to taste

First, you'll want to preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Then, in a medium casserole dish, mix together green beans, milk, cream of mushroom soup, and 1/2 of the can of onions. Bake for 25  minutes until bubbly, sprinkle the remaining onions on the top, and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Then pull it out of the oven, let cool and season with salt and pepper.

2. Cranberry Sauce. This is always a Thanksgiving staple. You'll need:

• 12 oz. bag of fresh or frozen cranberries
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tbsp. water
• 1 strip orange or lemon zest

Empty your 12 oz. bag of cranberries into a saucepan, taking 1/2 cup of the bag and putting it into a small bowl. Add your sugar, zest and 2 tbsp. water to the pan and cook over low heat. You'll stir and cook the mixture until the sugar dissolves and the cranberries are soft - about 10 minutes. Increase the heat to medium and cook until the cranberries burst - about 12 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cranberries you set aside. Add sugar, salt and pepper to taste and let cool before serving. 

3. The BEST Mashed Potatoes. Not only are these potatoes easy to make, they are also super delicious. You'll need:

• 5 lbs. Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 cups parmesan cheese
• 1 cup chopped fresh chives
• 1 1/2 cups cream cheese
• 1/2 medium head garlic, peeled and minced
• 1 pinch salt and pepper to taste

First, bring a pot of salted water to boil. Second, add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm. You'll want to then drain the potatoes and return to the stove over low heat to dry for a minute or two. After this time has passed, you'll add the butter, parmesan cheese, chives, garlic, salt and pepper, and then use a potato masher to mash until smooth.

4. Cornbread Stuffing with Sausage. Cornbread and sausage? Always delicious! You'll need:

• 1 lb. ground sausage
• 2 cups chopped celery
• 2 large onions, chopped
• 5 cups crumbled cornbread
• 5 cups seasoned bread crumbs
• 2 3/4 cups chicken broth
• 1 1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning

Although the drivetrain has been left alone, the 2014 Ford Fiesta is seeing some major cosmetic and technology updates. Starting with looks, the new model's grille and front-end treatment have undergone an update, as it appears designers took styling cues from the Ford Fusion and Ford Focus for the new Fiesta's face.

As for the new technology, the 2014 Ford Fiesta will offer a 6.5-inch touch screen showing MyFord Touch. This interface allows you to navigate, accept calls, play music, and more - all hands free!

Custom Ford Fiesta STs Steal the Show at SEMA

Tweet

ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich. - Ford pulled out the big guns at SEMA 2013, with a massive 57-vehicle showcase that covered over 27,000 square feet of exhibit space. Among the huge display, a few tiny-yet-powerful Fords captured the attention of passerby - custom Ford Fiesta STs steal the show at SEMA.

There were several Ford Fiesta STs on display, with a few standing out more than the others - the first being the COBB Tuning and Tanner Foust Racing Fiesta ST that is pictured above. Painted with a gray and black camouflage, the vehicle comes with a three-inch exhaust and a cold-air intake, along with a Kicker stereo and more. This Fiesta ST was designed to raise awareness about the Pat Tillman Foundation - a foundation that provides resources and educational scholarship support to veterans, active service-members and their spouses.

Another Fiesta ST that was basking in the spotlight is the Forza Motorsport 5 Fiesta ST. This vehicle has a two-tone paint job and was modified to be a high-performance vehicle. Along with a high-performance exhaust system, this ST also has a COBB induction system, Steeda brakes, and more. Even with all the performance upgrades, we have to say that we are loving the color combination the most (see below).

The Boss 302 inspired Fiesta ST was another favorite, with bright paint and black accents. The designers of this Fiesta ST, 3dCarbon, stuck with the color theme throughout the entire vehicle, bringing the orange and black into the cabin. The ST was also given a body kit from 3dCarbon and Air Design that gives the vehicle a deeper front air dam, a rear diffuser, a bigger spoiler, and more. Unfortunately, most of the upgrades done to this specific Fiesta ST are only aesthetic.

The custom Ford Fiesta STs have not only stolen the show at SEMA, they've also stolen our hearts. If you'd like to see for yourself what's to love in the Ford Fiesta ST, stop by our dealership today! We have a great selection of Ford Fiesta STs, as well as Low Mileage Used Cars, New Ford Cars, and Preowned Cars For Sale. If you're worried about cost, we've got you covered! At Roy O'Brien we have Guaranteed Financing.

With a Sortimo secondary floor installed, the vehicle also comes with a 55-inch television screen, two 18-inch tablets and custom Recaro seats. There are also two Hot Wheels orange tracks running through the middle of the car, forming a drag strip from front to back.

2014 Ford Fiesta Get Top Highway Fuel Economy Rating

Tweet

ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich. - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has given the 2014 Ford Fiesta a top highway fuel economy rating - in fact, the highest highway rating of any 2014 non-hybrid gasoline car on the market today!

This impressive highway rating was made possible with the new SE Manual EcoBoost package that includes Ford's new 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine and a five-speed manual transmission.  The EcoBoost package allows the vehicle to get 32 mpg in the city, 45 mpg on the highway and 37 mpg combined.

The 45 mpg on the highway is achievable for both the sedan and hatchback Fiestas, as long as they are upgraded to the SE Manual EcoBoost package - an upgrade that will only set you back $995. For less than a thousand dollars, you can save yourself quite a bit of money on gas over the course of your vehicle's lifetime.

The 2014 Ford Fiesta has received a top highway fuel economy rating, making it a vehicle worth considering! If you'd like to get behind the wheel of this great car, stop by our Sterling Heights Area Ford Dealership today!

Leaked 2015 Ford Mustang Details

Tweet

ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich. - We recently announced that the 2015 Ford Mustang would be debuting in December - four months earlier than previously thought - but now leaked 2015 Ford Mustang details have been spreading rapidly across the internet. 

Starting with the bodywork - the dimensions will be slightly smaller than the predecessor, as it is taking styling cues from other Ford vehicles such as the Ford Fusion and the Ford Evos concept from the 2011 Frankfurt show. A pair of large vents can be seen on the front of the hood; the rear window is smaller and extends from the roof in a peak formation; and the side windows appear to be more closely aligned.

The interior is a perfect mixture of retro and modern, with two large, tubular gauges located in front of the driver, circular air vents that sit atop the center stack, and a rectangular duct that sits on either side. The center stack will offer either the traditional stereo or the MyFord Touch - available for the first time in the Ford Mustang. Due to previous complications with the technology, Ford has replaced a lot of the virtual controls with actual buttons and knobs, while also evolving the technology to be more efficient. Ambient lighting will continue to be available in the Mustang, but it will spread beyond the dials, cup holders, etc. to the rest of the vehicle's cabin.

Now for the part we've been waiting for: the powertrain. A naturally aspirated 3.7-liter V-6 and the "Coyote" 5-liter V-8 engine will continue to be offered with the 2015 Ford Mustang, with the V-6 producing 305HP and the V-8 making 420HP. Transmissions will also continue to remain the same, until the 10-speed automatic transmission (currently being developed) becomes an option in a couple of years. After the vehicle is launched, Ford will offer powertrain upgrades to pony car drivers, and the GT-badged Mustang will produce 500HP.

While we are sure the Ford has something up its sleeve for the December debut, these leaked 2015 Ford Mustang details promise that this vehicle is going to be fantastic one.  If you don't want to wait for this vehicle to hit the lots, come by our dealership and check out the current model! Along with the Ford Mustang, we also have a great selection of vehicles such as the Ford Fiesta, Ford Flex, and other New Ford Cars. So stop by and let us help you into a vehicle you'll love!

Rumors were circulating across the internet that the 2015 Ford Mustang wouldn't debut until the Detroit Auto Show in January, or possibly even later at the 50th anniversary in April. Now it is being reported that the 2015 Ford Mustang will be formally revealed in December.

However, Ford will be giving a special preview of the 2015 pony car at Ford's headquarters next week in Dearborn. Before you get too excited, the preview will only be open to a select few members of the automotive press - and even they will be sworn to secrecy until the big reveal later this year.

Ford Creates Vehicles That Park Themselves and Steer Around Obstacles

Tweet

ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich. - Ford is at it again, working hard to create a vehicle that will make your drive more enjoyable and comfortable. While the technology is still being tested in Belgium, Ford has created vehicles that can park themselves and steer around obstacles.

While we all like to think that we are excellent drivers,  we have to admit that we are only human and sometimes we make mistakes when we're behind the wheel. Ford knows this and is working to develop technology that will step in for you when a mistake occurs. One such technology is the Obstacle Avoidance system.

This system will recognize when your vehicle is approaching a slow or stationary object ahead and react accordingly. First, it will alert the drive to the obstacle with a warning and a chime. Then, if no action is taken, the vehicle will take over by applying the brakes, scanning for gaps in traffic, and taking control of the steering wheel to guide you to safety.

Another technology that is currently being tested extensively is Ford's Fully Assisted Parking Aid. This technology would park your car for you - and you don't even have to be in the car! It does this by using three radars, ultrasonic sensors and a camera. First, the vehicle will scan ahead to check for available parking. If it finds a spot, it will alert you early enough for you to stop. The driver would then put the vehicle in neutral and push the parking button. At this point, the vehicle would take over the brakes, gas, and steering wheel to park your car in a parallel or perpendicular parking spot.

Ford currently has a system that helps you, the driver, park your car. However, it requires the driver to remain in the driver's seat and keep their foot on the brake pedal. This new Fully Assisted Parking Aid would allow your vehicle to take complete control, whether you're inside or outside the vehicle. You may remain in the vehicle while it parks, or you can step outside the car and push the vehicle's park button via a remote/keyfob.

Ford has created a vehicle that parks itself and steers around obstacles, however, it's still in the testing stage and won't be found in Ford vehicles for some time. However, we do have a variety of New Ford Cars, New Ford Trucks, and Used Cars that have features that you're going to love! So stop by our Sterling Heights Area Ford Dealership and take one of our great vehicles out for a test drive!
