We saw a Ford SUV in I-94 West bond near I-275 in Michigan. It looks like a production vehicle.But we have never heard about it. Is it a new SUV?

I hope Ford can win this years Le man. Then this movie would be funner.

2018 Ford F150 Pickup 2WD 6 cyl, 3.5 L, Automatic (S10)
City MPG 18, Highway MPG:25
I assume Ranger is much lighter than F-150.

I hope the Engine for the Titanium Edge ca be better than 2.0 Liter EcoBoost. Is this engine the same as 2.0 Liter Ecoboot engine for current Escape? What is the weight difference between Escape and Edge. I am afraid that the 2.0 Ecoboost can be sluggish for Edge.

US is the largest oil producer in the world now. Chinese Economy is slowing down. Russia and Saudi don't want to loss their market share in oil market. Supply of oil is surpass the demanding now. This situation will last for a while. We are energy independent now.

My 2017 Escape was manufactured in September 2016. In this Winter, when I turned on the heated seats, the reversing camera didn't work. The screen show warning "the camera is unavailable". Does anyone else has similar issue? I went to Ford Dealer, my service representative said that there are a national reversing camera issue including 17 Escape. But there is not solution right now.

Ford has been gradually removing redundancies from Sync, such as climate controls since there is a separate head-unit and display for those on the center console. They've also pulled climate controls from the instrument panel and steering wheel. This isn't such a bad thing because it also makes it easier for headhunits to surrender their display to CarPlay and Android Auto.
Borg, thank you for helping me understand the issue. I have another question. My 2017 Escape is equipped with Forward Collision warning and brake support. Is this function same as Automatic Emergency braking?

I just bought a 17 Escape titanium. It come with ACC, LKA/KDW, BLIS, Enhanced park assist. It is a great car. We love it. But we could not find the climate apps in the SYNC3. Is it normal or did I missed something?

Guys...I just read this: Porsche wins 24 Hours of Le Mans as Toyota breaks down with two to go!!! I thought Ford won!
Oops...It was the overall winner. Ford was mentioned deep in the article as taking the podium in their class. Sorry.
My understanding is that Porshe and Toyota were competing in the Le Mans prototype class; Ford and Ferrari were competing in the production class. The vehicles are different and not comparable. We don't expect a 600 horsepower GT to compete with 900 horsepower Porshe Le Mans Prototype class LMP1.

It was great race for Ford. I watched most of them during the line waiting for the roller coasts in Cedar Point.

Just came back from Disney theme park in Florida. Transit is everywhere in the parking lot (not the employee parking lot). I saw much more Transit in Southern states than in Michigan area excluding Ford testing units.

I have a 2007 fusion and I live in Michigan. I pay $1200 half year for my car insurance. Michigan is no-fault state, which means my insurance company has to pay the damages regardless which part did wrong on accident.
Thanks God, my fusion hasn't made me to make any big repair. So far, I only spend routine cost for the change of fluids and one oxygen sensor. It has had more than 130000 miles on it. Except the insurance, I haven't spent too much money on the car.

10% premium increases will cost me $20 more every month. But the lighter weight and new engine will save me at least $75 on gas per month given that I drive 2130 miles for work in highway every month. I assume the gas mileage will be 30mpg on highway for the new truck. The current F-150 has 23 mpg on high way. My calculation was based on $3.50 for a gallon of gas.

Given the truth that all three Japanese car makers also got double digit growth in Chinese market, I don't think such anti-Japanese sentiments really contributed too much to Ford growth in China. Considering US and Japan are allies and US supports Japanese in the dispute of those islands. Anti-Japanese sentiments actually hurt US businesses in China. I believe it is the great products of Ford that causes the strong growth of Ford in China.

9 Ford vehicles in 87 years. Each Ford vehicle lasted average 8 years. That is a indication of good quality.

Ford's Launches of new products need costs that cut profit in the next year and investor need to discount the future cash flow. Ford's performance is going to be even better after new launches. Investors did proper action after their measurements of NPV of future cash flow.

Japanese Yen has been devaluated for more than 20% already.
Toyota keeps saying that Toyota makes cars in U.S. If so, the currency advantage should not have made any difference.
It is sad that most of people believe what Toyota says.

I doubt the reliability of CR's report. It is just a magazine. Soon or later such rating agencies will be kicked out of business by more accurate online rating system. Who still read CR? 70 years old or 80 years old. I have never read one issue of CR in my whole life. None of my friends has ever read CR either. Is that odd? Anyway, my fusion is Really Reliable. Seven years later, it is still good as new without any sign of retirement. The allocated cost for this car is really low now. During the past 7 years, except the routine maintenance, I only spent $ 600 for a fix of oxygen sensor. Time for me to pick a new Ford car or truck based on my own judgment. Now it is information era, people can get reliable information from various sources. Why do we have to be fooled by few people's ratings that are obtained by just few test drives.

If Ramney is elected as president and Ramney choose Huntsman as vice president, would Huntsman still be eligible in Ford board?

Hyundai says its total sales were just 9 percent fleet in January, but it doesn't break down by model.
Every night before my traveling, I prayed "Dear God! please do not give me a hyundai this time". But seems that God doesn't want to take care of those trivial things.

I really really doubt they copied F150's design/structure, maybe just the exterior styling. This may not even be a F150 sized truck: it's powered by a diesel with 108hp/177lbft (if the article is right). That's on par/worse than the 2.5 I4 & 1.6 EB in the new Escape. How do you reduce weight of a F150 (or similar sized pick up) by 1500lbs+?
They used bamboo as material. Like my cutting board.

There is no difference between going to Auto Show and going to Mall. Man goes to Auto Show, woman goes to Mall. Now we have much more efficient way to browse cars or merchandises.
