Unfortunately for the Mercury brand, last week's surprise announcement that it would now be eligible for the Ypsilanti Orphan Car Show coincided with severe storms that rolled through southeast Michigan just 12 hours before the festivities were set to begin. The flooding of Riverside Park caused the cancellation of the official show, but a few dozen ...

Detroit 2009: Lincoln MKT debuts with a big, toothy smile 1231736460
Ford has a major-league hit on its hands with the 2009 Flex crossover – with the media. Sadly, despite its varied and considerable charms, sales haven't met the Blue Oval's admittedly lofty expectations. Blame the recession, blame the marketing department, blame the Flex's divisive styling, blame what you will, but Dearborn is plainly going to have ...

Spy Shots: 2008 Ford Escape 1162476180
Wow. One of Ford's employees made it way to easy for KGP's shooter to snap a shot of the new Escape in the buff.
