It’s official: the Ford Falcon is completely dead. It’s perhaps best known here as a V8 Supercar, but the last roadgoing Falcon rolled off the line in 2016. Now the Ford Falcon FG X Supercar is joining the road car in burnout heaven, and Ford announced today that its replacement is yet another Mustang.
I know it’s “cool” and “rad” to complain about modern cars and their computers and safety systems and fake engine noises, but the fact is that the performance-minded buyer has more and better options than ever before. But who leads the pack these days? If you’re talking about sales—which may be the only metric that…
Last week, a Ford patent application appeared on the U.S. Patent And Trademark Office’s website. It was for an interesting new seat pattern in cars, a circular, completely non-aerodynamic design that would also allow for passengers to be facing each other, as if at dinner. Is this design as crazy as it looks? I don’t…
It’s time to learn about one of the weirdest SUVs ever: the Ford F-Series-based “B-100.” Made only in Mexico, the giant rectangle on wheels has two doors on one side and one on the other, plus barn-doors out back and three sets of bench seats. Three. This may be the greatest SUV ever.
Two separate Florida police departments have reported serious engine problems with more than 75 vehicles, and now testing has revealed it’s likely due to a contaminated fuel source, according to the My Palm Beach Post.
For a long time, economy cars were abysmal-looking penalty boxes; constant reminders to everyone that you were sad and broke. No more! Even if they’re getting eclipsed by crossovers, many of today’s smaller cars look lovely, like the Mazda3 or even the latest Toyota Corolla. But the all-new 2019 Ford Focus may have…
Ford is whetting everyone’s appetites for the new Ford Focus by teasing some of its slick new features ahead of its global unveiling in China and Europe on April 10. And it looks like the Focus is getting a semiformal makeover.

“This isn’t supposed to be here,” said old-school American Ford Falcon owner Mr. Regular of the 2006 Ford Falcon XR6 BF he drove in New Zealand. “This car doesn’t exist!” But it does, and it exists in the best possible alternate timeline: the one where muscle cars were designed to bring your friends.
Aloha Wanderwell. The name itself sounds destined for adventure, and there was adventure aplenty in the 1920s for a young woman eager to see the world.

The 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt promised to be a mean green movie-inspired machine, but Ford hadn’t nailed down any exact figures for horsepower and torque until today. The newest Bullitt will get 480 horsepower and 420 lb-ft. of torque.
Several members of the Mustang6G forums are starting to place their orders for the very rad and very green 2019 Ford Mustang Bullitt already, so now we know how much it will cost: the base MSRP is $46,595. They also got their hands on the 2019 Mustang order guide, which spells out exactly what you’ll get for that…
Car buyers today have it good. They have automaker websites, dealer websites and any number of car-buying tools at their disposal, to say nothing of the tons of buying advice on websites.
