Ford to bring S-Max, Mondeo to U.S.? (#)

„Ford needed to bring their Transit vans here 5 years ago. Only thinking about introducing those vans means the wildly popular and diesel powered Sprinter will continue to wipe out Ford's once impressive commercial van market until the Transit vans arrive - if ever. There goes Ford again - only thinking about playing catch up while still eating everyone else's dust…“

Ford UK to Invest $1.8 Billion to Reduce Fuel Consumption and Carbon Emissions (#)

„Different driving conditions and the already high level of market acceptance for diesel technology in Europe will likely mean different couplings of engines and hybrid systems than in North America. Ford sees, for example, that micro-hybrid diesels provide a better cost-benefit proposition to customers than full gasoline hybrids, and are therefore the more compelling option for the European market.“

„If it weren't for bad luck, Ford would have no luck at all. The single largest profit-source for Ford Motor Company would be the F-Series Pickup and the Power Sroke diesel Super Duty is a huge chunk of that revenue. Navistar International Engines has powered the Super Duty since 1979, which makes them a large component of Ford's success in the market ...“

Behind the Fuel Cell Hype (#)

„Close to 40% of all cars sold in Western Europe now are diesel-powered. Ford just announced it plans to sell a diesel-powered Focus in the U.S. within five years. Company engineers seem convinced new emissions-control advances will see diesels meeting strict future emissions mandates. Such advances could steal even more momentum from the fuel cell push.“

Ford vs. Chevy, Pickup to Pickup - Popular Mechanics (#)

„To say the new GM's have nicer interiors than the F150 can't bew proven, but they are both great. Ford will be coming out with a 5or6 speed auto for the F150 as well as a larger gas engine and a diesel. The 07' Expedition has the same 5.4 3valve and has extra weight. But because of it's 6-speed auto Ford claims better excelleration times than the Tahoe.“

2005 SUV Comparisons, Road Tests & Reviews - Motor Trend (#)

„The Liberty is the one true off-roader here. Its turbodiesel felt strongest during off-road testing, a dirt-and-sand exercise that was soft-road enough to keep the Ford and Toyota from getting hung up. It's when climbing short hills and puttering around in the muck that the turbodiesel's stump-pulling torque feels so right for such a vehicle.“

Given the fanatical condemnation of the Ford diesel pickups a few months ago on here (6.4L Powerstroke), I may need to turn up my hearing aid as I must be missing the equal condemnation of this equally thirsty, but less capable, pickup.“
