A mini-site for the 2010 Taurus was launched and it includes images of the new sedan from Ford in all available colors. Don`t forget to visit the Gallery page and see all these nice images with the Taurus model.
“The next five years will be a very important transition technically for the [police] pursuit business and limo livery,” says Farley. “These days you really can’t afford to walk away from a loyal customer base who loves your product.” Ford is trying to save their business with Police cars, a segment which measures about 65,000 annual units sold.
Their new solution most likely will be a front wheel drive unibody with all whell drive capability. This model is under review and most likely we`ll have to wait 1-2 years until we`ll see a final version of it.

In 2010 we`ll see in Ford Cars a new clutch – PowerShift which is similar with the DSG from Volkswagens. This clutch allows full automatic control or clutch-less manual shifting. It is already available in the current Focus 2.0L diesel engine but it`s a wet clutch system. The one available in 2010 will be a dry-clutch system which is lighter and more efficient.The 6-speed PowerShift weighs with 30 lbs less than the 4-speed automatic currently offered in the U.S. Focus and should deliver up to 9-percent better fuel economy. We`ll keep an eye on future announces regarding this clutch which we find very good.
38 Years have passed from the day the first RS rolled out the assembly line and now, in Germany the new Ford Focus RS rolled out and made us very happy. The best Focus ever and the fastest one will be available shortly – 300hps, 440 N/m, a top speed of 263 KM/h and 5.9sec from 0 to 100 km/h makes it the faster Focus ever. We can hardly wait for a test drive.
The actual platform CD3, derived from the Mazda6, and which is used in Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, Ford Edge, Lincoln MKX and Mercury Milan has reached his end. It will be replaced by the platform used in the New Mondeo and will be used in the next Ford Fusion. This new platform will be called CD4 and the next Fusion( the 2013 model) will arrive in the U.S. in the 2012. They want to maximize engineering and manufacturing efficiency by creating several global platform models.
The next-gen Ford Focus might get a new engine. While the EcoBoost Series gets a 3.5L V6 Engine in 2009 the same technology may be used in a smaller package like a 1.6L turbocharged 4 Cylinders with direct injection. The engine will deliver up to 180 horsepower with enough torque to send you through the driver`s seat when you press the throttle. They say that this engine will give up to 43 mpg in the highway. The engine could debut with dual clutch gearbox and most likely will debut in 2010 offering 25% fuel efficiency over the standard 2.0L engine.
The designer of the Ford GT is leaving after 24 years being employed at Ford. Pardo confirmed the rumors about he leaving but didn`t said why. We think he left because in the last year instead of designing cars Ford asked him to design side mirrors. It surely is a great loss for Ford and we hope the best for Camilo.
