First Drive: 2013 Ford Flex 1332518520

Freshly Tweaked For A Second Life Ford has not been long known for polarizing design. The company's styling philosophy has read more closely along the lines of "cheap and cheerful."

First Drive: 2013 Ford Mustang GT [w/video] 1332172620

Poor-Man's BMW M3 Is Sharper Than Ever Ford has been quietly blurring the line between muscle car and sports car since the 2010 Mustang debuted at the 2008 Los Angeles Auto Show. Lighter, smaller and nimbler than rivals like the Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger, the Mustang established itself early on as being just as happy on a road course as it ...

First Drive: 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor 1325177640

Exhilaration At 1 MPH When thinking about the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, one tends to picture an orange meteor barreling across the desert at absurd velocities, flying through the air, long-travel suspension dangling its dirty bits below. That's partially because desert storming and bombing down muddy, root-strewn fire roads was the Special Vehicle Team's ...

First Drive: 2012 Ford Explorer EcoBoost 1314633420

Another Step On The More-With-Less Path Ford is no stranger to convincing buyers to embrace smaller displacement, forced-induction engines over their larger, naturally-aspirated counterparts. A little less than a year ago, skeptics wondered whether typically change-averse full-size truck consumers would be willing to swap their tried-and-true V8 for the ...

First Drive: 2012 Aston Martin Virage 1300291080

Uncovering The Real Mission Of Aston's New Coupe And Volante Few automakers sell sexy as well as Aston Martin. Others may try, but competition demands they back up their stellar good looks with performance – oh, the burden. Take Ferrari and Lamborghini, the two Italians, as an example. Their sensual bodywork drops jaws at one hundred yards, but ...

First Drive: 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 1298566620

America's Answer To The BMW M3 The Trans-Am series of the late 1960s and early 1970s could be considered the golden era of American motorsports. Not only did it showcase the most desirable American cars of the time, but it featured some of the world's greatest racing drivers engaging in this country's own brand of fender-banging racing. It's why Ford ...

Ford Proves It Can Build A Compact With A Pulse 2012 Ford Focus - Click above for high-res image gallery We should no longer be surprised by the notion of a compact car with big-sedan features and eye-popping fuel economy.

First Drive: 2011 Ford Explorer 1292259360

Don't Call It A Comeback... At least a few eyebrows were raised when Ford first let on that it was bringing the Explorer back in a radically different form for 2011 – but not all of the quizzical looks were for the same reasons. For one thing, the Explorer franchise had been seriously damaged because of the very public Firestone tire rollover ...
