On May 13th, I got into a plane, flew to Calgary, Alberta and strolled over to the Delta hotel attached to the airport. There, waiting for me, was a beautiful brand-new F-150 truck. My instructions? Get in and drive - all the way to … [Read more...]

Review: 2013 Ford Explorer Sport
May 6, 2013 By Leave a Comment
When I heard I was getting an Explorer Sport, I had no idea what it was. In the last few years, the “Sport” badge has been affixed to the rump of entry-level vehicles by many manufacturers. So I wondered if that was going to be the … [Read more...]
Review: 2013 Ford C-Max Hybrid
January 14, 2013 By 5 Comments
Well, I spent a week with Ford's newest vehicle, the oddly-named C-Max. It's not a cross-over, it's a real car. A small 4-door in footprint, but something that offers more than you'd expect from its size. I was excited to check it out, because I love … [Read more...]
Ford Quality Tour – Dearborn, MI
November 19, 2012 By 1 Comment
A week ago, I got on a big ol' airplane and headed east. And then slightly south. I ended up in Dearborn. What's so special about Dearborn, you ask? Well, it's a not-so-big city in the Detroit area. But makes it important is that it's Henry Ford's … [Read more...]

I was fortunate enough to be in Los Angeles at the LA Auto Show in November 2011 when Ford took the wraps off of this brand-new model. Witnessing the unveiling of an all-new car that is clearly very important to an auto manufacturer is a very … [Read more...]
Comparo: 2013 Ford Taurus SHO vs. 2013 Lincoln MKS Ecoboost (Review)
August 9, 2012 By 6 Comments
I spent a week with each of these cousins. Though they're virtually the same, mechanically and dimensionally speaking, they do differ in many ways. The Taurus SHO is marketed as a hot-rod, and this one even came with a Performance Package which … [Read more...]
Comparo: 2013 Ford Flex & 2013 Lincoln MKT (Review)
July 25, 2012 By 6 Comments
The Battle of the Behemoths. Tournament of the Titanics. This week I'm comparing two vehicles that are, in my opinion, wonderfully unabashed all-American wagons. There are all these new terms out there - Ford calls them crossovers. Call 'em what … [Read more...]
Ford F-150 Roundup Review: Harley Davidson, King Ranch and Raptor
May 22, 2012 By 3 Comments
This is the tale of three siblings - non-identical triplets, to be exact. All born of the same mother (Ford), none sure of who their baby-daddy is, and all endowed with characteristics that separate them from each other. Yet all instantly … [Read more...]
Ford “Power of Choice” Event – May 1, 2012
May 1, 2012 By 2 Comments
I went to the local "Power of Choice" event put on by Ford. It was a bit of a marketing gig in terms of their current hybrid, plug-in hybrid and pure electric drivetrains, and that caught some of my attention - but I was more interested in what they … [Read more...]
Comparo: 2012 Ford Fiesta vs. 2012 Honda Fit (Review)
April 10, 2012 By 2 Comments
Another showdown at Wildsau's OK Corral. This time it's between two vehicles that I wouldn't have put against each other if I had to list the other's competitors, but once you sort things out on paper, you've got two similar chaps strutting their … [Read more...]
