It’s a good time to be Australian, kids. Yes, winter has just begun setting in down that way, but rumor has it that Ford has decided to wedge a supercharged version of the Coyote V8 into the nose of the Falcon XR8. Why? Aside from being the kind of awesome we can all get behind, the move is designed...

The reborn 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS is the 2010 Ford Mustang GT’s most obvious competitor (obviously). While the Camaro is certainly a head turner, it’s just not that great of an all around performance car. However, despite the 2010 Mustang GT coming out on top in many comparisons against...

To many, the terms “Mustang” and “high technology” are as mutually exclusive as “China” and “transparent, open society.” After all, the first Mustang rolled off the assembly line before the Vietnam War got under way, and in the minds of most people it...

We know what you’re thinking. Isn’t it a little late to be reviewing the 2010 Shelby GT500? After all, Ford introduced the 2011 version with the new aluminum block at last month’s Chicago Auto Show. It’s not that we didn’t want to get our hands on the 2010 GT500 before...

It’s a guy thing. Tim Allen understands. If you’ve got a job to do, you need the right tool. As guy logic goes, the bigger and more powerful the tool, the better. If what you do requires a tool shaped like a truck, then you’re currently experiencing a nirvana-like period in history....

Hot on the (w)heels of the Ford Transit Electric, the Transit Connect Taxi drove onto the stage at the Chicago Auto Show today running on compressed natural gas (CNG). The clean-burning utility van – based on the gasoline-powered North American Truck of the Year winner – adds to Ford’s...

As expected, Ford brought the latest (and greatest?) incarnations of the Transit Connect utility van to the Chicago Auto Show today. The battery-powered Transit Connect Electric was up first, perhaps because it fits so well into Ford’s strategy of vehicle electrification (see also: Focus Electric...

Like the 2011 Mustang GT at last month’s Detroit Auto Show, the 2011 Shelby was unveiled here at the Chicago Auto Show with little fanfare. In fact, there wasn’t an unveiling at all, as the new Shelby was sitting uncovered on the show floor as soon as we arrived. The car looks fantastic...

Ford rolled out its 2011 Edge, with a triad of engine choices, in Chicago this morning. As we mentioned earlier, the 2011 variant will offer the all-new EcoBoost 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. The four-cylinder turbo, with direct-injection, promises 20-percent better fuel economy without sacrificing...

Mouse over the clock in the lower right-hand corner of your PC. Alternatively, if you’re a Mac user, look at the little iCal widget down at the bottom of your screen. Whoa, look at that! It’s 2010. January 6th, to be exact. And that means the final sales tallies of all automakers for...

Ford is wasting no time in releasing a variation of its 5.0-powered Mustang, starting with the California Special for 2011. The GT/CS was last introduced as a 2007 model and featured a unique appearance and wheel package available only on the premium GT coupe and convertible. Ford hasn’t officially...

It’s taken far too long, but an all-new Ford Focus has arrived and we’ve just seen it in the metal here at the 2010 Detroit Auto Show. Complete with a new platform, new engine, some shapely sheetmetal and a host of tech, this new Focus that we’ll finally be sharing with Europe and...
