Suddenly Ford Motor Company seems to be shining brither than ever.  Whether is has been their dedcation to improved quality or their passing on a Federal bail-out package; American consumers seem to be shifting their preference away from GM and Chrysler ove to Ford.  Through January, Ford Motor Co.’s retail-market share had risen for four consecutive months for the first time in 14 years, and that share was coming from General Motors and Chrysler. New data from CNW Market Research show that 19% of consumers who planned to buy a GM passenger car in January or February instead bought a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury. Some 15% of people who set out to buy a Chrysler or Dodge car in January instead switched to one of Ford’s brands.

With its newfound strength, Ford has also regained its ad swagger. The company is displaying a strong tone of confidence in its launch ads for the second-generation Ford Fusion midsize gas-powered sedan and first Fusion Hybrid.  Ford’s Matt Van Dyke, director-marketing communications, said the multimedia blitz, which includes four months of TV advertising that broke last week, targets the so-called “upper purchase funnel” of people who aren’t in the market for a vehicle.

Ford’s approach will allow it to build brand equity and demonstrate that when Americans are ready to buy, there will be a Ford in their future. Mr. McNaughton said he likes the straightforwardness of Fusion’s launch TV spots from WPP Group’s JWT Team Detroit, which highlight fuel efficiency and the vehicle’s Sync technology. “People don’t want dancing girls; they want facts and information.”

2010 Ford Taurus

The all new 2010 Ford Taurus, will be on display this weekend at the Greater Kansas City International Auto Show in Bartle Hall.

The all-new design is decidedly upscale. There’s not a hint of the dowdy old style to be found. The exterior style is dominated by a sculpted hood, pronounced front fenders, and character line that runs front to back ending at the tall trailing edge of the rear fenders. The 2010, which goes on sale this summer, will be a flagship for the Ford brand. As such, it combines sophisticated styling with a new level of technology. Items such as adaptive cruise control with collision warning, a blind-spot information system, Sync, rain-sensing wipers, a voice-activated navigation system and the parent-programmable MyKey are some of the features that will be available. Ford said prices will start at $25,995, the same as the 2009 model.

The high-performance SHO Taurus is back, too, and it will have a 365-horsepower, twin-turbocharged V-6, all-wheel drive and a paddle-shift automatic transmission. Pricing will begin at $37,995.

The SHO package, with a Sony sound system, turns the sedate 265-horsepower standard Taurus into an American-made sports sedan with decent mileage.

“We’ll build to demand,” Said Mulally recently “I don’t expect a huge change in our product.” The handsomely restyled SHO will be available this summer at $37,995.

With overall January sales down 40 percent companywide from the same month a year ago, Ford also injected more excitement unveiling the 14th Harley-Davidson edition of its best-selling F-150 Series pickup.

Ford has a long history of making strong pickup trucks, and the new Ford F-150 lives up to that reputation. Not for the faint of heart, the 2008 Ford F-150 is the most recent in a long line of tough trucks.

Let’s face it, if you are buying a truck you probably need to tow something. The Ford F-150 has the best towing capacity in its class, with a max capacity of 11,000 pounds. The available 5.4 Litre Triton V-8 engine has two intake valves per cylinder, and has variable valve timing. This means that the engine can tailor its performance based on engine speed and payload. It provides more low-speed torque to ensure you can get underway with all your gear, and more high-speed power to allow you to overtake another vehicle and to provide efficient highway cruising.

Because your loads may not always be of a nice uniform shape, telescoping side mirrors are an option that allows the driver to extend the mirrors further out from the body of the truck to see around whatever they are towing. Drivers will not have to worry about the safety of what they are towing as an optional Reverse Camera System is also available. Not only does this system provide you with a clear picture of what is behind you, it also provides a view of the trailer hitch — a handy thing to have when you’ve got a bed full of stuff.

As a light duty pickup the Ford F-150 also has best in class payload capacity, and is able to carry an amazing 3080 lb load. Combine that with a huge 65.5 cubic feet of cargo volume and it translates to fewer trips, saving you time and money.

Closed loop tow hooks are easily accessible and will not pull out or break unlike other tow hook designs. An extremely strong frame gives meaning to the term “Ford tough”.

Perhaps most interesting is the no-cost Flex Fuel option that comes with the 5.4 litre engine. Flex fuel means that your Ford F-150 can run on gasoline, ethanol, or E85 – a fuel mixture that contains 85% ethanol and gasoline. The engine is intelligent enough to detect what type of fuel you are using and to ensure that the engine is running at optimal levels for that specific type of fuel.

While hybrid engines are not technologically advanced enough to handle the power requirements of a pickup truck, Ford is doing it’s part for the environment by making E85 fuel an option for your Ford F-150 truck.

In an effort to become more environmentally conscious and responsible, AT&T has decided to add several trucks to its fleet that are fueled with alternative forms of energy.

AT&T has a huge fleet of existing trucks that workers use to repair and maintain the massive communications infrastructure it has all over the world. And, just like everybody else is doing, AT&T is looking for ways to save money on fuel with rising gas prices. Adding more than 100 new trucks is one way to accomplish that goal.

This month, the communications company plans to institute the new plan. On the list of new fuel-efficient vehicles includes dozens of Ford trucks, particularly the Escape hybrids. AT&T has already used Escape hybrids since the end of last year.

AT&T is just one company switching over to more environmentally-conscious vehicles. Many fleets are slow to make the switch because they are simply replacing the older vehicles when they are no longer usable. Others are making a more immediate switch by getting rid of the existing vehicles and replacing them with the newer trucks. It’s nice to see that some companies are trying to be more responsible. Hopefully, this is a trend that catches on for more companies and individuals, too.
