The All-New 2010 Ford Grand C-Max!

2010 Ford Grand C-MaxFor me not being a Ford lover and for me to be writing a blog like this – I have to say, it is pretty rare.  Ford is actually coming out with some of the best cars in the world and I have to say that their 2010 lineup is something that I am actually looking forward to.  For example, the 2010 Ford Grand C-Max is actually one SUV that I am looking forward to … which is weird!

Personally, I think that the ‘soccer-mom’ mini-van days are a thing of the past because of things like the 2010 Ford Grand C-Max.  While this SUV seems to be based off of the Pontiac Vibe, which I personally own, I think that the Grand C-Max is actually a fantastic comparison … and it looks chic!

Chic, stylish and fashionable – those are the three words that I would use to describe the all new 2010 Ford Grand C-Max!

2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor: It’s Ready!

2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor

When you are researching a car or a truck to buy … what is the first thing that you do?  Well, the first thing that I do is look at the name – then I look at the specs and I think that the 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is by far one of the best named trucks on the market and as for the specs?  Well, those are going to be described below! 

The 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is one of the only trucks in the world that seems pretty standard; however it is anything but standard.  The price is just under $40,000 and while that seems like a lot, it truly isn’t.  The fact that it has a 5.4-liter V8 engine along with 310 HP is nothing to sneeze at.  Also, come winter, it has an uprated 400 HP and a 6.2-liter V8 engine that you can upgrade too … if you wanted to.

The greatest thing about this particular truck is that while men are the ones that usually buy it, to me, the 2010 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor looks sort of like a woman’s truck – a tough woman mind you!

Ford Auctions Marvelous Mustang

Filed under: Ford — Tags: , , — Heather @ 4:35 am

mustangCar enthusiasts in general and Mustang enthusiasts in particular are already praising the 2010 model for its speed — it goes so fight you practically expect it to take flight. With that being said, Ford has actually taken one of these classics and totally tricked it out with an amazing aviation theme. The car will be auctioned for charity at the end of the month, on July 30.

Officially, it is the AV-X10, but it is also known as the Dearborn Doll, and it is based around the Mustang GT. There is only one of these tricked out beauties in existence. It was put together by some of Ford’s best designers and engineers.

Where does it get its power? From a tight 550 horsepower engine, totally supercharged, a 4.6 liter V8. There is a tuned exhaust complete with exhaust tips, as well as a handling pack.

Our congrats go out beforehand to the lucky winner of the Dearborn Doll.

Filed under: Ford — Tags: , , , — Heather @ 5:42 pm

It has to be said that the Ford Shelby has been charming car lovers forever.  Not only was this car one of the ‘unicorn’ cars in Gone In Sixty Seconds, but this car is honestly incredible all over the place!  Now that the 2010 Ford Shelby GT500 is in the works, we definitely have to talk about what it is going to be like and we are going to review it.  Firstly – you will notice that that the 2010 Ford Shelby GT500 had actually had a face-lift and honestly, it looks absolutely incredible.

The engine has been redone a bit and it is still the absolutely most powerful Ford engine in the world.  It has the most comprehensive chassis, driveline and interior and exterior modifications.  There are wide racing strips painted on the sides now and there is a rear spoiler that is augmented with a downforce-generating Gurney flap.

This car not only looks freakin’ incredible all of the time, but it is absolutely one of the best racing cars out there.  Just remember, the 2010 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500!

From Europe to China, Ford Fiesta keeps on rolling

Filed under: Ford — Tags: , — Jonas @ 2:22 am

When Ford Fiesta had its debut a year ago in Europe, Ford earned much by selling approximately 61,000 units. Note that they sold these units in their 19 traditional European markets. Within last year, Fiesta became Ford’s second-best seller after their Focus. This year, Ford is about to make waves in China.

The Changan Ford Mazda Automobile Company has already begun producing Ford Fiesta cars intended for the Chinese market in China itself. Their facility is located in Nanjing, China which began manufacturing Ford cars like the hatchback and sedan versions for the Fiesta.

What does it really boast of? With the look itself, one can say what it boasts of. It’s small. It’s efficient.

Add to its features is the fact that it’s eco-friendly. Yes, you heard it right. The Nanjing plant is producing Fiestas with a paint technology that goes with the green advocacy. This is an innovation they’re going to launch by producing less of the organic compounds that are volatile.
