<p><strong>DEARBORN</strong><strong>, Mich., Feb. 21, 2011</strong> – The <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/11/ford-fiesta-vs-lamborghini/">Ford Fiesta</a> is now the first car in its segment to earn top <a title="Crash test" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash_test" target="_blank">crash test</a> ratings in each of the world’s largest auto markets that perform safety testing, the U.S., China and Europe.</p>
<p>“<a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> is committed to safety, including our efforts to deliver top crash test ratings that customers look to when choosing new vehicles,” said Sue Cischke, group vice president of Sustainability, Environment and Safety. “<a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/small-safe-ford-fiesta-earns-2010-top-safety-pick-st-louis-ford-dealership/">Fiesta</a> is the latest example of that safety commitment, and shows that a small, <a title="Fuel efficiency" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_efficiency" target="_blank">fuel-efficient car</a> can deliver top safety.”</p>
<p>Testing agencies in the U.S., China, Europe and Australia/New Zealand rate the <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/11/ford-fiesta-vs-lamborghini/">Ford Fiesta</a> at the top of the list for crash ratings. <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/small-safe-ford-fiesta-earns-2010-top-safety-pick-st-louis-ford-dealership/">Fiesta</a>’s latest maximum five-star safety rating was awarded by the China Automotive Technology and Research Center under the China New Car Assessment Program, or C-<a title="Euro NCAP" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro_NCAP" target="_blank">NCAP</a>.

<p>The 2011 <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/11/ford-fiesta-vs-lamborghini/">Ford Fiesta</a>, the only car in its segment to earn a Top Safety Pick from the U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety under its new test standards, continues to earn recognition in major global markets for its safety performance and rating in independent third-party testing.</p>

<p>DEARBORN, Mich., Nov. 30, 2010 – Old clothes turn up in plenty of places – the hamper, the bottom of a closet, behind the washing machine. They’re also found in the next-generation <a title="Ford Focus (international)" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Focus_%28international%29" target="_blank">Ford Focus</a>, albeit in different and more useful forms.</p>
<p>The 2012 Focus, on sale early next year in <a title="North America" rel="geolocation" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=48.1666666667,-100.166666667&amp;spn=1.0,1.0&amp;q=48.1666666667,-100.166666667 (North%20America)&amp;t=h" target="_blank">North America</a> and <a title="Europe" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe" target="_blank">Europe</a>, uses these cottons from recycled clothing in areas such as carpet backing and sound-absorption materials for interior quietness. Using environmentally friendly materials, including recycled clothing, is one part of <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a>’s overall green strategy.</p>
<p>“<a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> is continually looking for greener alternatives,” said Carrie Majeske, product sustainability manager. “One of our key goals is to use more recycled or renewable materials without compromising performance or durability. Recycled content is a way to divert waste from landfills and reduce the impact of mining virgin material.”</p>

<p>Over the past several years, <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> has concentrated on increasing the use of non-metal recycled and <a title="Bio-based material" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bio-based_material" target="_blank">bio-based materials</a>, including soy foam seat cushions, recycled resins for underbody systems, recycled yarns on seat covers and natural-fiber plastic for interior components.</p>

</ul>
<p>DEARBORN, Mich., Nov. 24, 2010 – The all-new 2012 <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> Focus marks the arrival of the next generation of ambient lighting. Switchable between seven vibrant colors, ambient lighting has always enabled a driver to set the mood inside a <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> vehicle. Now ambient lighting can make a driver’s life easier, too.</p>
<p>&#8220;When <a title="Light-emitting diode" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode" target="_blank">LED</a> illumination combines with ambient lighting technology inside a car, it enables clever features that make life easier for the driver,” said Christopher Eardley, <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> interior lighting engineer. “Ambient lighting can change interior accent color, but it can also add functionality that keeps a driver smiling.”</p>
<p>A recent study by a prominent lighting research journal found that a driver’s visual senses could be improved through the use of interior light. Respondents said interior design and finishesappear more attractive, controls were easier to use, and overall they felt safer.</p>
<p>“<a title="Interior design" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interior_design" target="_blank">Interior</a> ambient lighting has transcended ‘looking cool’ and is poised to deliver additional customer value in the all-new Focus,” said Eardley.</p>

<p>The awards are designed to help people make more informed car-buying decisions, said James Bell, executive market analyst for Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com.</p>
<p>“Consumers should take a good look at the projected resale value of a car when choosing their next new vehicle purchase,” he said. “Taking the time to research and choose vehicle makes, models and options wisely now can help new car shoppers hold value down the road when they go to sell or trade in the vehicle.”</p>

<li>Using a dual-path <a title="Powertrain Control Module" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powertrain_Control_Module" target="_blank">powertrain control module</a> (<a title="Pulse-code modulation" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-code_modulation" target="_blank">PCM</a>), TracKey software is installed after the vehicle is purchased; accessed by a specially programmed vehicle key, new code coexists with stock Boss software, allowing drivers to choose between street or track use simply by selecting a key</li>
<li>No aftermarket chips or permanent modifications are made when TracKey is used, allowing owners to return to the stock setting by starting the car with a regular key</li>
</ul>
<p>DEARBORN, Mich., Nov. 11, 2010 – You hold two keys: One has a black Boss logo, the other red: Either will start your 2012 Mustang <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/13/boss-legend-mustangs-helped-inspire-2012-boss-302-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Boss 302</a>. Slide the all-black key into the lock cylinder, give it a twist and you’re treated to 444 ponies worth of smooth, streetable driving joy. Or choose red – the TracKey – and you have a competition-ready track car.</p>
<p>A joint project between Mustang engineers and <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> Racing, TracKey adds a second set of powertrain control module (PCM) software to a customer’s Mustang <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/13/boss-legend-mustangs-helped-inspire-2012-boss-302-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Boss 302</a>, activated by a specially programmed vehicle key. When invoked by TracKey, the new TracMode software alters more than 200 engine management parameters, increasing low-end torque and turning the potent but well-mannered stock Boss into a competition-ready track car. Remove TracKey and start Boss with the standard key, and all factory engine settings are restored for a comfortable drive home from the course.</p>

<p>PARIS, Oct. 1, 2010 – The <em>AutoWeek</em> editorial staff has named <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a>’s Focus ST the “Most Fun” vehicle of the 2010 Paris Motor Show. High praise indeed, considering the Focus ST beat out the Porsche 911 Speedster, Ferrari SA Aperta, Audi E-tron Spyder and Audi quattro concept at the biennial gathering in Paris.</p>
<p>“The choice for ‘Most Fun’ in Paris is based on the notion that you don’t need 500 horsepower or even rear-drive to build a boatload of grins into a practical, reasonably economical <a title="Automobile" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile" target="_blank">automobile</a>,” said Wes Raynal, editor of <em>AutoWeek</em>. “This car will be the ultimate enthusiast expression of the new-generation Focus, centered on a 2.0-liter aluminum four with high-pressure direct injection, low-inertia turbocharging and twin independent <a title="Variable valve timing" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_valve_timing" target="_blank">variable camshaft timing</a>.”</p>

<p>DEARBORN, Mich., Sept. 16, 2010 – The all-new 2012 <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a> Focus will launch exclusive airbag technologies that enhance protection for front seat occupants in the most common frontal and side crashes.</p>
<p>The suite of new innovations includes <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a>’s next-generation driver-front airbag with enhanced chest protection technology. The new airbag uses a reconfigured curve-shaped tether system that pulls in the lower section to create a “pocket” to help lessen the impact of the airbag on the driver’s chest and ribs in frontal crashes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/25/unique-ford-transit-connect-turns-heads-dream-cruise-helps-local-business-generate-sales-ford-motor-company-newsroom/">Ford</a>’s innovative side airbags feature unique shoulder vents that stay open and reduce pressure for smaller occupants who typically benefit from reduced forces. Taller occupants whose shoulders block the vent could benefit from the higher pressures.</p>
