As a part of the Fiesta Movement, Ford’s new platform to promote the 2011 Fiesta coming to the United States, the chosen agents will drive a Fiesta for up to six months. Agents will bring along millions of consumers on their “missions” each month by creating content about the experiences for their social networks. Agents also will provide valuable feedback to Ford in preparation for the launch of the 2011 Fiesta in the United States next year.

Ford Surpasses EcoBoost Goal

PGI Auto / June 30, 2012 / No comments

Ford’s EcoBoost are a revelation in the automotive industry.  An industry that has no mercy on auto manufacturers who cannot come with unique and innovative technology year after year.  With the EcoBoost engine, Ford has not only created a vehicle with superb fuel-efficiency and lower emission ratings, they’ve also delivered on the performance Ford consumers expect.

To help with these numbers are the two most recent additions to the EcoBoost family.  The first is a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine made for the Taurus, and the other is a 1.0 liter 3-cylinger engine which we will see in the Focus or Fiesta beginning next year.  By the year 2013, Ford will deliver over 1 and a half million turbocharged EcoBoost engines.  This amount surpasses their goal by 100,000 units, thrilling them beyond compare.

Another big change for Ford is the fact that they are consolidating the vehicle platforms from 22 separate ones, to only 10, making desirable changes to each family by the year 2017.

Ford Decides on Focus RS

PGI Auto / June 15, 2012 / No comments

Ford had talked about a new generation of the Focus RS, but has stayed mum on whatever decisions are being made.  Before silence about the situation, Ford said they were considering going with a Fiesta RS instead of the Focus RS, until the Focus ST became so wildly popular.  Automotive expert consensus is that Ford should stick with the a Focus RS, but give it a more powerful engine.  One magazine has said Ford is talking about using the 2.3 liter EcoBoost engine that will most likely be used in the 2015 Mustang.

The previous generation of Focus RS was powered by a turbocharged 2.5-liter engine providing 301 horsepower in standard from and up to 345 horsepower in with the limited edition trim.  If the next-gen Focus RS gets the Mustang’s engine, we can expect a horsepower output at around 330 horsepower for the base model.

It seems Ford is playing a wait-and-see game before it decides on which model will get the RS, since either the Focus or Fiesta may yet prove to outdo the other.

Tim Chantarangsu is all about entertaining. As a rapper, a comedian – even as a Fiesta agent – his work lets people tune into the lighter side of life. Performing as Traphik or Timothy Delaghetto, he writes songs that often poke fun at society and cultural stereotypes. Being a Ford Fiesta agent, then, is just one more way for Chantarangsu to hold the spotlight up to his talent – and let the car shine in the process.
