This past weekend, while most of you were enjoying a first real taste of fall, High Gear Media spent a Saturday drilling around the mountains above Cannes in the 2012 Ford C-Max. That's in both versions--the "Grand" C-Max coming to the American market in about 14 months, and the shorter...

When it comes to custom Mustangs, Roush is considered by many to be second only to the Shelby name. Today the custom house has revealed its new 2011 Roush 5XR Ford Mustang based around the 2011 Ford Mustang GT 5.0-liter V-8 engine. Thanks to the edition of a ‘R2300 ROUSHcharger’...

Ford [NYSE:F] is damping speculation that it's developing a new flagship sedan in the mold of the former Lincoln Continental. The Continental was one of the signature vehicles in the Lincoln lineup from the 1930s through the 1970s--the mini-brand was sold under its own nameplate, before it became...

Tiny, American (sort of), ridiculously fast, and dedicated to rally competition, the Ford Fiesta RS WRC is a gravel-to-pavement lover's lust item. And it just made its global public debut at the 2010 Paris Auto Show. Built around a 1.6-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder engine, the Fiesta RS...

Ford opened its 2010 Paris auto show festivities with a crash--of a snare drum as it gave its new Focus ST performance hatchback a rock-star introduction near the Champs-Elysees a few hours before the show opened to the media. The Focus ST will be on top of the model range, and alongside it in...

Ford has announced a service bulletin for 2011 Ford Mustang GTs with the six-speed manual transmission, to address problems with the clutch sticking to the floor at high RPMs, returning to the normal position only when the engine RPMs drop. The problem affects GTs built before April 25, 2010. It...

It's rare that we find a pickup truck that pushes our enthusiast buttons, but today, we have exactly that. Our Executive Editor Marty Padgett is at the Ford F-150 EcoBoost launch today, and he captured this video of the truck proving that while it may be a V-6, it packs more punch than the frumpy...

The selection of aftermarket Mustangs seems endless, but that won't stop Shelby from possibly adding more models to the mix.

Ford is going global with the Focus, and by global, it means really global. That's right hot-hatch lovers, we're finally getting the Ford Focus ST right here on U.S. soil. The "early preview model" of the 2012 Focus ST hatchback will be on display September 30 at the Paris auto show. It will be...

The first part of the third round of Gymkhana videos was a bit of a disappointment for people interested in cars, hoonage, and general mayhem. This time around, there's no music video. Just a whole lot of smoking tires, turbo Fiesta growling and popping, and some fantastic camera work. We could...

Ford's own 2011 Mustang GT is no slouch, rated at 412 horsepower and delivering every bit of it. Then there's the Mustang Shelby GT500, with a massive supercharged 550 horsepower and 510 pound-feet of torque. But if simply ripping the rear tires' tread from their carcasses isn't enough for you, the...

We know most of the key details of the 2012 Mustang Boss 302 from its unveiling at Pebble Beach last month. But until now, we haven't seen Ford's plans for production quantities.

Venerable consumer publication Consumer Reports has stacked the current Ford Mustang against the current Chevrolet Camaro in a head-to-head match-up of V-6 models, and the Mustang has won. Anyone following car-magazine comparison review trends won't be surprised by the result. The Mustang has been...

Chances are good that if you've got Mustangs moving off local lots, you'll see the 2012 Mustang Boss 302 early next year. But a good chunk of you will have to travel to find one on the lot. Ford's plan for allocating the new Boss 302 to its dealers has leaked onto the Web, revealing a two-tiered...

The era of social media is fully upon us when even 100-plus-year-old carmakers are adopting outlets like Twitter and Facebook as part of their efforts to build brand reputation. Sometimes it's even interesting. Take this tweet for @Ford, the official Ford Twitter account: @Ford: In 1953, Ford...

Mustangs Daily has a nice photo gallery featuring pictures of the Classic Restorations Shelby GT500CR with a custom paint job. This continuation version of a 1967 Shelby GT500 is powered by a 427 cubic-inch (6.9-liter) V-8 that makes 545 horsepower and mates to a 5-speed manual transmission, a...
