With all this, Ford Division remained "USA-1" in the early '90s, selling well over a million cars a year and a like number of light trucks. Chevy did move about 40,000 more domestic cars in calendar '91, but that was the only time it surpassed Ford in these years. Two differen...
Ford engineers also equipped Fusion with a specially tuned electric power-assisted steering system, MacPherson strut front suspension and all-new multilink rear suspension that is comparable to the setups found in more expensive Audis and BMWs. Ford's quietest midsize sedan ever, Fusion Hybrid...
No apparent changes were made to the powertrain, which consists of a 2.0-liter Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder engine and electric motor making a total of 188 horsepower. Ford expects the taxi to get an EPA-rated 38 mpg combined (40 mpg city, 36 mpg highway), which is comparable to the F...
That result is lower than both of the EPA’s combined figures (97 MPGe when in charge-depleting mode and 42 mpg when in charge-sustaining mode), although our observed number is not directly comparable to either of the EPA’s figures in that it takes into account all energy sources when ...
But the Mustang Mach-E is different. It’s got four doors, for one thing (although the “E-latch” handles are hidden). It’s all-electric. While its length and width are comparable to the regular Mustang, it stands nearly 10 inches taller, and boasts 101 cubic feet (cf) of interior...
Fusion family allows an universal application for A, B, and C segment passenger cars, whereas the 2 cylinder TGDI engine is capable to also cover the entry-/volume-power class in the C segment. The 3 cylinder TGDI is also able to cover higher vehicle segments. Center of attention was ...
Ford expects the Focus Electric to have a better miles-per-gallon-equivalent rating than the Chevrolet Volt’s 93 MPGe, and one comparable to those of other all-electric cars—we assume that refers to the Nissan Leaf, which scores a 99. The Focus Electric’s battery is about the same si...
to reinvent the whole Ford strategy. Robert McNamara and other young "Whiz Kids," as they were called, restructured Ford's accounting and management systems and pioneered the successful Falcon compact. Bill Ford commissioned his chief financial officer, Allan Gilmour, to recruit a comparable team....
It was certainly hard to miss with its bold three-bar grille, a signature destined for future Ford cars (plus an early Five Hundred facelift) and a dim nod to 1966 Galaxies. Fusion bowed in S, SE, and top-line SEL versions. The last were the nicest inside, with contemporary metal-...
