Ford Focus ST 2013 New

Perhaps the new benchmark in performance compacts.





Once the SVT Focus departed in 2004, we
were left staring across the Atlantic wishing for a hot version of
Ford’s small car. Now, the Focus ST is here. You can walk into a Ford
showroom and plunk down a deposit on 252 horsepower of automotive glee,
with deliveries

Ford Edge and Edge Sport 2011 - Auto Shows

When it was introduced for the 2007 model year, the Edge was like a contemporary Mariah Carey—great to look at, but struggling with a weight problem and the resultant effects on performance. At the Chicago auto show, Ford shows off a freshening that enhances the Edge’s appearance, overhauls the interior, and, although not directly addressing the issue of mass, will increase performance. Like most

Ford Edge Sport 2011 - Spied

The big reveal of the refreshed 2011 Ford Edge will take place in about two weeks at the 2010 Chicago auto show, but why wait—these spy snaps give us a pretty clear idea of what form it will take. Not only that, but this prototype also previews the Sport trim, which should continue to be the sharpest-looking Edge in the drawer. As with its twin, the Lincoln MKX, the angular Edge undergoes a

Ford Mustang GT 2011 - Auto Shows

Few automobiles have had the sort of longstanding street cred given to Ford’s Mustang GT. But the deference it has enjoyed for much of its four-plus decades has been called into question recently now that recently introduced muscle-machines from Chevy and Dodge have come along with larger, high-tech V-8s. With its comparatively small 4.6-liter V-8 under the hood, the Mustang has had a lot to

2010 Ford Fusion Sport AWD - Short Take Road Test

An Answer to a Question We Don’t Remember AskingHeretofore, Sport-y Fusions have been so mostly in appearance; the previous Sport package could be applied to front-drive SE or SEL trims and included a gaudy interior upgrade, a rear lip spoiler, a stiffer suspension, 18-inch wheels, and not much else. For 2010, however, the Sport becomes an independent model—with either front- or all-wheel drive—

Ford F-150 Harley-Davidson 2010 - Quick Spin

This is the latest in a long convoy of Harley-branded trucks and the sole version of the 2010 F-150 that Ford says not to take off-road. Offered in Tuxedo Black or, like ours, Lava Metallic (it looks a lot like dirt-speckled black), this year’s Harley truck is only available in four-door SuperCrew configuration with a 5.5-foot bed. All Harley F-150s ride on massive 22-inch wheels—the trucks also

2001 Ford Mustang GT Convertible - Supreme Steed

Driver ProfileBrian Harder hails from West Allis Wisconsin, where he is the director of a local funeral home. He was fortunate enough to acquire his Mustang from his wife, who had deemed it as too small. Once she had her new SUV, Brian reclaimed the Mustang and embarked what would be a three-year buildup into the vehicle’s current status. He is an active competitor at local car shows in and

2010 Chevy Corvette Grand Sport vs. 2010 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

Yes, you’ve seen this movie before. And yes, even with 540 horsepower, to some a Mustang is not, strictly speaking, a sports car. A sports car, by the classic British definition, is one that can, in a pinch, be raced. But times change, and even our resident hotspur Brit, Mr. Gillies, thinks this is talk that predates his birth. In its most recent encounter with a Corvette—July 2006—the super pony
