Ford’s Gone Over The Edge With Safety!
Thursday, April 21st, 2011
The new 2011 Ford Edge, which can be purchased at Ford Dealership Dayton, was ranked number 8 out of 23 Affordable Midsize SUV. Just like the Toyota Highlander, which can be purchased at Virginia Toyota Dealer, the Edge comes with a long list of safety features. The Ford Edge, which can also be found at Ford Dealership Kingston, comes standard with dual-stage front airbags, front seat mounted side impact airbags and side curtain airbags. It also comes with four-wheel disc anti-lock brakes and Advance Trac with Roll Stability Control. Power side view blind spot mirrors help the driver see while moving through traffic. An SOS Post Crash Alert System flashes the hazard lights and sounds the horn in the event of an accident.
Ford has also equipped the Edge with a new Blind Spot Information System. This system alerts the driver with an indicator light when a vehicle is detect
ed entering the “blind spot zone”. It also has a cross traffic alert feature which uses blind spot monitoring sensors to audibly and visually alert the driver to approaching traffic while you are backing out of a driveway or a parking spot. MyFord Touch interface replaces the traditional button controls with touchscreens and a five way controller. It includes touch sensitive sliders for the stereo volume and fan speed.
Ford has equipped the Edge with a pretty cut and dry protection package. It consists of three years or 36,000 mile basic warranty and a five year or 60,000 mile powertrain warranty. The Edge did very well on all crash tests. Even though the 2011 model has yet to be tested the 2010 model received five stars for protection occupants in all outboard seating positions in side impact crash tests. They also received five stars for driver protection in frontal crashes and four stars for passenger protection. The Insurance Institute for Highways Safety gave the 2010 model it’s highest rating of “Good” in frontal, side impact and rear crash protection
Ford offers top of the line pickups;
Wednesday, March 30th, 2011
Ford’s latest pickups, which can be purchased from a Midland Ford Dealer, are some of the top models on the market. The Ford Range for 2011 is the top small pickup on the market in terms of fuel economy, and the Ranger is a major competitor to models sold at a Honda Dealership Carson. Ford has released models that are in line with the company’s strategy to produce high quality fuel efficient vehicles. Also, models sold at RI Used Cars dealership are also fuel efficient and economical. Ford buyers have been looking for a combination of power and fuel efficiency, and the latest Ford models have delivered this.
The EPA made a list of the most and least efficient trucks, and two Ford pickups made the list. The Ford Ranger is equipped with a 3.7 liter V6 engine which is the most fuel efficient engine in its segment. Ford’s F-150 is also the most fuel efficient vehicle in its own segment, and thus Ford owns the top positions for fuel efficient models in those markets, similar to other markets that the company sells models for. The 2011 Ford F-150 with its 3.7 liter V6 engine is the most fuel efficient non-hybrid full size pickup. It gets a combined city and highway fuel rating of 19 mpg. The Ranger is the most fuel efficient compact pickup a combined rating of 24 mpg.
With gas prices rising lately, fuel economy has been a major concern for pickup owners. Ford’s pickup models combine fuel economy with amazing power for their size, and their new models meet the need for many pickup owners. Gas prices have risen throughout the country to over $3.50 per gallon in many locations, and with no signs of slowing down soon, it is critical that new models are fuel efficient in order to be able to complete in the future. Ford will continue to produce fuel efficient models.

Forget the Kids, Focus on the Baby Boomers!
Sunday, January 30th, 2011
While you might think that the vehicles from Ontario Porsche Dealership are starting to appeal to a younger crowd because of their flashy advertising techniques, you would be wrong. The largest buying power right now comes from the Baby Boomers because they are the largest demographic in our country. Plus, people who are close to retirement age have far more money to spend at Mercedes Dealer Virginia than your average young buyer. Some might argue that young shoppers are the ones to target because they are more influenced by peer pressure and the media to have the latest and greatest technology, but the bottom line is that most of the younger shoppers can’t afford the vehicles from MD Mercedes Dealers. This proves that targeting the Baby Boomer generation might be the best for sales.
You are a member of the Baby Boomer generation if you were born between 1946 and 1964, and it is estimated that there are about 77 million members of this generation. It has already been shown that in 2010 shoppers over the age of 50 spent about $87 billion on vehicle purchases while the crowd under 50 years old only spent $70 billion. The older generation groups want to be comfortable in their vehicles but they also car about what type of car they are driving. While their parents might have preferred a Lincoln Town Car or Grand Marquis, many people are quite comfortable in the affordable luxury that Cadillac and Lincoln are offering in their modernized creations.
Despite the sheer numbers for the Baby Boomers’ buying power, we still see auto makers advertising for the younger crowd. Perhaps no one wants to see someone with gray hair on their television commercial or they might fear that the group of young buyers they do have would be turned off knowing that the vehicle they are driving is also popular with their parents or grandparents. It will be interesting to see how the advertisements continue to change as auto makers are realizing that they are ignoring their largest target audience and leaving money on the table, so to speak.
