Leaked 2015 Mustang Shots Spark Debate

Tweet

ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich.- Photos of full-sized clay models suspected to be of the 2015 Ford Mustang have surfaced all over the web in advance of Ford Motor Company’s release. The photos are prompting all kinds of speculation by Mustang-devotees about what direction the design and engine configuration will be on the sixth-generation version.

The photos feature four clay models shot evocatively behind a poster of an unknown Ford prototype, arousing debate over whether the poster foreshadows the 2015 Mustang or a different model.  The pictures have aroused comparisons with some of the classic Mustangs; although, if they are similar to the final design, the lines should appear quite modern.

The design of the much-anticipated 2015 model is not the only aspect that has sparked considerable buzz—there is also controversy surrounding the rumored four-cylinder engine option and whether it is going to be offered in the U.S. market or European markets. 

Whichever way the designers at Ford decide to go, you can expect the finished product of the sixth-generation 2015 Mustang to be on the circuit in 2014, possibly showing its face around the middle of April.

Spring Car Care Tips

Tweet

ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich.- With dreams of warmer weather in the near future, we've started to think spring. Which means spring cleaning has appeared on our to-do list, and by spring cleaning we mean for the car. But instead of trying to clean up the mess that winter made all at once, get your vehicle ready for spring with our easy Spring Car Car Tips that each take only 10 minutes or less!

When it comes to Spring Car Care Tips, we're keening it simple. Try one at a time and your vehicle will be squeaky clean in no time!

-Next time you go out to the car, bring a bag and throw away any garbage or things you don't need.
-Clean the mats. Take your mats out next time you get out of the car. Wash them off and then hang them to dry so they're ready to go next time you get in the car.
-Keep dust away year round by adding a microfiber cloth to your glove box. Whenever you notice it getting dusty, just grab the cloth and wipe it off.
-Wash the windows inside and out. Cleaning off that dusty film on the windshield and the fingerprints in the back seat will increase your visibility.
-Wash the car. If it's too cold to wash it yourself, go to the car wash and ask for a wash that includes the undercarriage so you can get rid of all the salt from winter and prevent corrosion.
-Vacuum it out. If it's a hassle to get the vacuum out to the car, stop by the do-it-yourself car wash next time your out and use the high-powered vacuum.
-Do a windshield wiper check. Michigan's harsh winter conditions can take a toll on your wipers. Make sure they aren't streaking or cracked, otherwise it's time to replace them.
-Do a tire check. As the temperature changes make sure your tires are properly inflated and as while you're at it make sure they have adequate tread.

Since we're pretty sure you don't want to spend the whole day cleaning your vehicle, keep these Spring Car Care Tips in mind and in less than 10 minutes a day, you'll be ready to cruise into warmer weather!

2015 Ford Mustang: Turbocharged Four-Cylinder?

Tweet

Rendering of the 2015 Ford Mustang.

ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich.- Rumors regarding the all new 2015 Ford Mustang have been floating around the web, but no real facts about what the new 'Stang will look like or offer have been confirmed. However, it looks like there may have been a breakthrough this afternoon! Recently, it has been reported that the next generation would bring a Turbocharged Four-Cylinder 2015 Ford Mustang, just not to the U.S., but it looks like that has changed!

It appears that the 2015 Ford Mustang with Turbocharged Four-Cylinder Engine is in fact coming to the United States. The new 2.3-liter engine would most likely offer about 300 horsepower which is close to the current V6 model. However, we could see a higher power output since the next generation pony is thought to be a step up from the current base model. While the current Ford Mustang already offers and impressive 19/31 mpg, the new turbocharged engine's low-rpm torque and greater efficiency could offer improved fuel economy. Better fuel economy may also stem from a little weight loss from the current Mustang's 3,500 pound weight.

So while we still haven't received any information on exact looks or specifications for the 2015 Ford Mustang, we've made some progress discovering that the Turbocharged Four-Cylinder 2015 Ford Mustang may actually be coming to the U.S. If you just can't wait, check out our 2013 Ford Mustang Brochure and save a little green with our Ford Mustang Rebates!

2015 Ford F-150 Sneak Peek

Tweet

ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich.- A few months ago the Ford Atlas concept truck debuted at the Detroit Auto Show. Some felt it may have been our first glimpse at the next generation Ford F-150. Well, you can't quite tell if it is indeed the Atlas, but what's believed to be the 2015 Ford F-150 has been spotted while out testing! The 2015 Ford F-150 Sneak Peek doesn't exactly reveal every detail, but we do notice a few shocking details.

It's obvious that the next generation F-150 is still in early development. However, the spy shots reveal that it retains the chrome Gillette-style front grille present on the current F-150. The most notable detail that stands out in these photos is that there are only five-lug wheel hubs which means that this could be a prototype for a lighter duty pickup truck like the Ford F-100.  Trucks with higher payload ratings, like the current Ford F-150 usually have six or seven-lug hubs.

Thanks to advanced metals, the 2015 Ford F-150 will be 700 pounds lighter and will enjoy improved fuel economy. This also offers the option for a smaller engine which is encouraged by the tiny split exhaust tips. Current Ford trucks have larger exhausts. Gas mileage is increased even further by the significant improvements in aerodynamics on the next generation Ford truck.

Stay tuned for more 2015 Ford F-150 Sneak Peeks! But until more information is released, check out the 2013 Ford F-150 Brochure and remember that we can help you save with Ford F-150 Rebates! Family owned and operated since 1946, Roy O'Brien Ford is located at 22201 E. 9 Mile Rd.
