Ford Surpasses EcoBoost Goal

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.

New Safety Tech Tested on Ford Taurus

As in-car safety features become more involved and advanced, the amount of fatal and harmful accidents lessen.  A new safety feature is currently being tested and perfected in which cars are able to “talk” to one another and possibly avoid collisions.

A Ford Taurus was was used as the media demonstration vehicle, in which the driver showed what would happen if he tried to drive through an intersection when an unseen car was speeding through the cross street, running the red light.  A row of red lights pulsed on the lower part of the Taurus’ windshield and audible warning loudly warned the driver that he was on a collision course with a car approaching quickly on the cross street.  The driver was able to brake as the car, which was hidden behind a large truck, sped through the red light, driving right into the space the Taurus would have been had the driver not stopped.

2013 Ford Taurus with Ruby Red Tinted Clearcoat

According to research presented by Ford, up to 40 percent of all customers say they would walk right out of the dealership if they couldn’t find a vehicle in their preferred shade.

So Ford is about to add 3 new shades to its 2012 line-up.

The three latest Ford colors are going to debut a few of Ford’s newest models:

  • Ginger Ale—(Named for its energy and refreshing qualities)  has been selected to cover the all-new Ford Escape. This “classic gold neutral with slight green undertones” is typically found naturally in rocks, minerals and sandy beaches as well as jewelry, gems and textiles.
  • Kodiak Brown—A deep brown with warm highlights that is a current favorite of the fashion industry, Kodiak Brown was named after Alaska’s Kodiak bear for its “richness and strong presence.”
  • Frosted Glass—Also adopted from the world of haute couture, Frosted Glass will be the signature color of the Ford Focus Electric. The icy, light green shade helps create a feeling of tranquility that reminds people of the ambiance of a spa or tropical waters, according to Ford.

There’s more to come, too, including a striking new Ruby Red Tinted Clearcoat that debuted on the 2013 Ford Taurus during its reveal at the New York Auto Show earlier this year.

“Color is a simple way to allow people to add a personal touch to their lives,” said Swek. “It’s something that speaks to them and expresses a little bit of their personality.”
