<p>As part of the <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> Retail Movement, a dealer-readiness program, <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 been working with targeted dealers, focusing on three key areas – preparing the sales force, engaging the customer, and creating a distinct new car delivery experience.

<p>ANN ARBOR, Mich., May 4, 2010 – Students at the University of Michigan have defined their vision for the future of in-car connectivity – a future that includes applications combining social networks, GPS location awareness, and real-time vehicle data in ways that help drivers get where they want to go efficiently, while having fun along the way.</p>
<p>The experimental apps were developed by students who took part in a 12-week course, Cloud Computing in the Commute, at the university. The course, initiated by <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> Research &amp; Advanced Engineering, prototyped social networking and transportation apps as part of a larger <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> initiative called “American Journey 2.0,” a joint open innovation research project involving Microsoft and Intel, offering students the chance to innovate the future of the in-car experience.</p>

</ul>
<p>DEARBORN, Mich., April 1, 2010 – For years, car buyers have understood the rule of thumb in the&nbsp;auto industry – small cars deliver better <a title="Fuel economy in automobiles" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_economy_in_automobiles" target="_blank">fuel economy</a> but are no match for larger, heavier vehicles&nbsp;when it comes to quietness inside the cabin.</p>
<p>But the 2011 <a href="http://www.schickerautomotive.com/info/2010/08/11/ford-fiesta-vs-lamborghini/">Ford Fiesta</a> is poised to shatter that age-old axiom by delivering a quiet ride that beats&nbsp;all other competitors in its small car class and even beats some larger cars in interior quietness.</p>
<p>This didn’t happen by accident. With quietness becoming ever more important to customers, <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>&nbsp;engineers designed the sporty subcompact to meet the same noise, vibration and harshness (NVH)&nbsp;standards as larger <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> car lines.</p>
<p>The result: The <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>, which arrives in <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> showrooms this summer, has interior noise levels&nbsp;lower than the Honda Fit and the Toyota Yaris in 80 mph <a title="Wind tunnel" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_tunnel" target="_blank">wind tunnel</a> testing</p>

<li>The Atoms to Engines team blends <a title="Engineering" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering" target="_blank">engineering</a> and science to develop <a title="Physics" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics" target="_blank">physics</a>-based <a title="Computer simulation" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_simulation" target="_blank">computer models</a> that predict how properties and materials will behave and change during the manufacturing process.</li>

<li>The result? Components that are more durable and efficiently constructed, which saves the company considerable development time and money.
