When you think of a Ford Fusion, you probably picture a family-friendly, reliable, 4-door sedan, right? Normally, you'd be correct, but recently Ford turned the Fusion's image upside down when it unveiled a 2013 Fusion NASCAR racecar. Ford is the first manufacturer of four working with NASCAR to debut its racecar prototype, and though there are certainly tweaks to this year's vehicles (as ordered by NASCAR), there will be no significant changes. Small changes will revolve around correcting for the two-car tandem drafts at Talladega and Daytona this past year.

Luxury auto brands are known for their distinct identities. For example, Lexus focuses on its interior comforts, Mercedes-Benz is known for its looks, and BMW always has its performance in mind. So, what do you think of when you consider the luxury brand LINCOLN? Drawing a blank? It's okay. You're not alone. That's why LINCOLN plans to roll out a fresh identity this year, and it hasn't just picked one signature trait; LINCOLN wants to be known for both its high-tech features and  its elegant designs.

What's the most precious natural resource of our world? Some would say oil, or maybe air, but others would conclude that it's H₂O. Water supplies us with so many of the needs we have each day, but it's also a big part of manufacturing, and automobile manufacturing is not excluded from this process. That's why environmentally-conscious Ford has decided to decrease its water usage. By 2015, the brand hopes to reduce water consumption by 30 percent.

American auto manufacturer Ford joins other top automobile companies in adding a lane-departure warning to its vehicles. This new technology will be premiered in the 2013 Ford Fusion, an updated version of the current Ford Fusion at the 2012 North American Auto Show in Detroit this month.

The Big 3 are back! Well, at least Ford Motor Company is. The auto industry is starting to recuperate from those big losses a few years ago, and Ford is one of the automakers reaping the benefits. In November 2011, Ford saw a sales gain of 13.3%. The company sold 166,865 vehicles. This is great news, readers, because consumer confidence is up!  No longer holding back on purchasing automobiles until the financial state of America is more stable, consumers across the U.S. are now parting with their dollars to drive the trendy new 2012 Ford models.

Heading into the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show, the whole world knew that LINCOLN was preparing to show off a redesigned version of the LINCOLN MKS for the 2013 model year. What people didn't know, however, is what exactly was in store for the luxury sedan. Now that the show is officially under way, Courtesy Ford LINCOLN is happy to report that the redesign has been unveiled, and it's everything we hoped for…
