While we’re not encouraging anyone to go out and get into their car and cruise around for some excitement, we are encouraging people to keep and eye out for when the latest installment of the “Need for Speed” franchise is coming out. For those who may be familiar with the popular video game might be a little upset that it’s not a new game title that will be released soon, but instead as a film.

Dreamworks Studios and Ford Motor company have decided to partner up with each will be exclusive to Ford. Part of the agreement is that a Ford will furnish a special, custom made Ford Mustang that will be outfitted from everything from 22 custom wheels, wider body, a larger air in take and to top it off, a supercharged V8 engine. Of course, no one is mentioning if this “custom” Mustang is really the new one that will be released later and if it “the” one which will mark Mustang’s 50th anniversary. Our guess its probably the case, but we’ll have to wait in see. In the mean time, for anyone that is looking for some car performance, you are more than welcome to check out our own Mustangs.

What was said to only be a 2 year run has proven true as Ford Motor Company announced that it’s calling it quits on the Mustang Boss 302. The Boss 302 design was brought back for the ’12-13’ year with a limited number of only 4,000 units to be produced. First introduced in 1969, the Boss 302 was made to better compete in Trans Am racing and has been a favorite since. Well, the final number has been reached and now the 2013 Boss 302 is no more.  As Ford gears up for the production of their 2015 Mustang, the year will also mark the Mustang’s 50^th anniversary and an entirely new generation of muscle cars, being the sixth.

As far as any details that are known about the 2015 Mustang, Ford isn’t saying anything. While some hope that Ford will keep a few attributes that resemble the classic style it has been known for, it’s speculated that the company will go for a more contemporary and modern look that will appeal to a larger audience than just its domestic fans.

So as Ford gets ready for the next generation of its popular muscle car, the Boss 302s are becoming harder to find. As far as other Mustangs are concerned, such as the 2014 Ford Mustang GT, dealers still have a descent inventory available.

Are you in search of that perfect car for your family? It is likely you are looking for a vehicle that has plenty of room, but also one that has all the latest safety features. You also want something that is reliable. For those who opt to purchase a preowned vehicle, the Ford Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) program may be your answer. With this program each vehicle features a comprehensive limited warranty coverage and powertrain limited warranty coverage. Each vehicle also comes with a 172-point inspection, vehicle history report and complimentary 24-Hour Roadside Assistance. Any item(s) that does not pass the inspection is replaced or repaired with a factory-authorized part. Something else you get with a Ford Certified Pre-Owned vehicle – warranty coverage. This includes comprehensive limited warranty coverage for more than 500 components for 12 months/12,000 miles* and fully transferable powertrain limited warranty coverage for seven years/100,000 miles.* Another CPO benefit you won’t get with a used vehicle is complimentary 24-Hour Roadside Assistance available seven days a week, 365 days a year.

To become Ford-certified, a pre-owned vehicle has to be less than six years old and have fewer than 80,000 miles on the odometer. It then has to pass a rigorous 172-point inspection. An independent third-party vehicle history report is also run to identify any vehicle that does not meet our strict standards. Interested in finding one of these vehicles? Just visit your local used car dealership – such as KG Used Cars, a leading used car dealer in Utah. Ford has a variety of vehicles perfect for family travel, including the recently redesigned Ford Explorer. Travel in not only comfort and ease, but also with a peace of mind, with a Certified Ford vehicle!

The Ford Escape has been completely redesigned for the 2013 model year. At the same time it has a new competition in its already crowded segment. The 2013 Mazda CX-5 is a totally new five-passenger compact crossover utility vehicle.  The CX-5′s appeal lies in good fuel economy, excellent road manners, attractive styling, and the now-expected array of telematic features.

Ford Escape

A duo of new turbo engines offer better performance than the competition, the interior is roomy and comfortable, high-tech gadgetry works well, and it even looks cool.  At the heart of the Escape’s success are three engine choices, all offering 30 mpg or better on the highway, according to Ford estimates. The Escape’s ride is a pleasant mix of firmness — to help with the handling chops and because of the rigid chassis — and damps out road imperfections.  The Escape takes a styling direction different from the other Ford SUVs, sharing cues from the company’s Fiesta and Focus cars instead. The 2013 grows only slightly, by just under 4 inches in length, and it has almost 3 inches’ more wheelbase.

Mazda CX-5

The Mazda CX-5 offers sleek styling, excellent fuel economy and agile handling. Perhaps most notable is its fuel economy: CX-5 gets an EPA-rated 26/35 miles per gallon City/Highway with front-wheel drive and 6-speed manual, 26/32 mpg with front-wheel drive and 6-speed automatic, 25/31 mpg with all-wheel drive and automatic. We recently stopped by a Raleigh NC car dealer, Sport Durst Auto, to check out the CX-5.  The new Mazda CX-5 is larger than it looks, and we found its handling to be superb. Curb weight is another Mazda CX-5 advantage. With a large percentage of high-tensile steel in its structure, a CX-5 with front-wheel drive weighs just 3208 pounds.

The CX-5 is the first total vehicle application of a new engineering approach Mazda calls Skyactiv Technology.  Skyactiv is portrayed by Mazda as a total design integration of engine, transmissions, and body shell, but the critical element is the new 2.0-liter four-cylinder Skyactiv engine. Designed for maximum efficiency, the new engine is light, with a number of friction-reducing measures, a new exhaust manifold design, an exceptionally high compression ratio (13:1), and runs on regular unleaded fuel. The Mazda engine delivers respectable performance on the road, but the competition offers more powerful engines. If you are interested in test driving this Mazda, just get a hold of your local showroom, such as the top Mazda dealer in Raleigh, Sport Durst Mazda. They are standing by to get you in the car of your dreams.

The 2013 Ford Fusion and the 2013 Lincoln MKZ share the same underlying architecture. At the same time there are no common body panels. This is a break from recent Lincoln strategy helping justify its premium price tag. Like Fusion, and other current Lincoln sedans, the 2013 MKZ retains a front-wheel-drive layout.

2013 Ford Fusion

The 2013 Ford Fusion employs refined, sophisticated design. Fusion chief designer Darrell Behmer and his team aimed to amplify a sporty look with a wider grille, wraparound headlamps and flowing, connected lines. The interior design team went for a clean and simple layout, with elements borrowed from watch design and modern architecture.

As notable as its looks, the 2013 Fusion comes in a variety of powertrains, from gasoline to hybrid to plugin. The base engine is the same naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder currently used in the outgoing generation, good for 170 horsepower. Two turbocharged power plants will be optional: a 1.6-liter EcoBoost engine that will make 179 hp with early fuel economy estimates of 26 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway, or a 2.0-liter EcoBoost motor that makes 237 hp and 250 pound-feet of torque. The latter, designed to be a sportier version, will be outfitted with a rear-biased all-wheel drive system.

2013 Lincoln MKZ

Under the skin, the new Lincoln MKZ features a 2.0-liter EcoBoost inline-4 replacing the old 3.5-liter V6 and, while delivering more muscle, will boost fuel economy by as much as 6 mpg. The target is an EPA-rated 27 mpg Combined. A hybrid-electric version, akin to the one in the new Fusion, will push the mileage number to 47 mpg, which would mean a midsize Lincoln delivering about 4 mpg more than the latest-generation Toyota Camry Hybrid. Do you have questions about the differences between these two vehicles? Simply call your local car dealership, such as Langhorne PA’s Reedman Auto dealer, and they will be happy to help you out.

In the cabin the MKZ gets an elegant, high-gloss finish. The center stack wraps around a large touch screen display which operates many key vehicle functions, though Ford engineers and designers have this time struck a careful balance to ensure that those buttons and switches a driver frequently accesses are back on the display’s surround so you don’t have to wade through several distracting menus to, say, adjust the interior temperature.

The MKZ also gets a new, horizontal look. This was influenced by an eagle’s out-stretched wings, one of the most dramatic design elements on the all-new 2013 Lincoln MKZ. The other eye-catching feature is the all-glass retractable roof. It’s a concept far beyond the oversized panoramic sunroofs that have become popular these days, turning the MKZ sedan into an instant convertible. Are you ready for a test drive? Taking these models out on the road is the best way to compare them. The MKZ is widely available across the country, for example Reedman Lincoln, a car dealer serving Philadelphia, has a huge stock of these models.

Ford and Dodge go head to head and many vehicle markets. Pickup truck and mid sized SUV sales remain strong around the country. Ford and Dodge are some of the top contenders in these categories. Are you looking for your next truck or SUV? See how various models compare against each other and decide which one suits your needs, budget, and style.

F-150 vs Ram 1500

The F-150 can tow a heavier trailer (11,300 lbs.) and haul more cargo (3,120 lbs.) than any of its competitors. The F-150 has a fully boxed frame that’s the foundation of all this great capability. And it’s engineered and tested to withstand more punishment than you could ever subject it to. The F-150 is Built Ford Tough to come through with the capability you expect in this full-size pickup from Ford, day in and day out.

With up to 390 horsepower and 10,450 pounds maximum towing capacity, the 2013 Ram 1500 is built for strength. And the powertrain goes beyond power; it’s also remarkably efficient. Ram is the only pickup manufacturer to achieve 20 MPG highway across its entire light-duty engine lineup. So whichever engine you choose, you’ll get the power you need, at the best mileage.

Explorer vs Durango

The 2013 Ford Explorer is incredibly capable. It starts with the structure – strong and supportive, thanks to high-tech materials and advanced forming technology. To help you handle everything from rugged off-roading to snow-covered roadways, there’s the available Intelligent 4WD with Terrain Management System. For your peace of mind, Curve Control, an enhancement to AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control, delivers enhanced control in turns. Open the door. The Explorer offers up to seven-passenger seating capacity and seats that fold down for cargo space on demand – up to 80.7 cubic feet of space.

The Dodge Durango was designed to be distinctive, to start your pulse racing both at rest and in motion. With the 2013 Durango you can choose between the 290-horsepower 3.6L Pentastar V6 or the legendary, 5.7L HEMI V8 with 360 horsepower. Uncompromising power is standard on both, along with the ability to go far. Efficiently. Opt for the SXT with Rallye Appearance Group to boost the Pentastar V6 up to 295 horsepower. The available full-time All – Wheel Drive (AWD) system boosts traction in poor driving conditions, allowing you to get anywhere you want to go. Fully automatic, the two-speed transfer case with Variable Torque Distribution directs up to 100% of available torque to the axle with the most traction when slippage is detected. To see this model, you can find the 2013 Dodge Durango in Ft Worth to Salt Lake City or anywhere you may be in the country. Dodge and Ford dealerships are standing by to schedule a test drive and get you into a vehicle of your dreams.
