Those responsible for some of the most aggressive consumer testing in the industry have awarded the Blue Oval a ‘Very Good’ road test score while the Bowtie was saddled with a mere ‘Good’ rating. The testers went so far as to say that picking the six-pot in the Mustang didn’t take too much away from the car’s fun factor, while doing the same in the Camaro did. That’s no surprise to us

Poll: 2011 Ford Explorer vs. 2011 Dodge Durango – What’s your pick?
Posted by: | CommentsFiled under: Crossover , Dodge , Ford The SUV is dead. Long live the SUV! The 2011 Dodge Durango and Ford Explorer are big departures from the models that they replace. Aside from the usual styling and refinement differences, the biggest changes for these vehicle are that they both ditch the traditional body-on-frame sport-utility vehicle DNA in favor of unibody constructions. By our definition, these once-SUVs are now CUVs, though their respective parent companies continue to brand them as being traditional sport-utes through and through.

Officially Official: Ford F-150 SVT Raptor gains SuperCrew, loses 5.4L V8 for 2011
Posted by: | CommentsFiled under: Truck , Ford , Off-Road 2011 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor SuperCrew – Click above for high-res image gallery Ford’s off-road beast, the F-150 SVT Raptor , has only been on sale for a year, but it’s already getting a few upgrades for the 2011 model year. Many reports and a few spy shots indicated that Ford had been prepping a four-door SuperCrew version of the Raptor (you know, for when the family wants to do the Baja run with you), and the automaker has officially confirmed the details ( again ). The SuperCrew’s wheelbase is a full 12 inches longer than the standard Raptor, meaning it should provide a more comfortable ride along the way, and the 5.5-foot box can still haul everything you need when you get there. Speaking of capability, all Raptors now come standard with more power on tap – the 6.2-liter V8 will be the only available powertrain for 2011 (sad trombone for the people who rushed out to get the 5.4).

Spy Shots: Ford Fiesta-based crossover headed for the UK
Posted by: | CommentsFiled under: Spy Photos , Crossover , Ford , UK Spy Shots: Ford Fiesta-based crossover mule – click above for high-res image gallery Ford is enjoying early success with the Fiesta here in the United States, but in Europe, where the Fiesta has been on sale for years, it’s time to start thinking about the future. Our friendly neighborhood snappers at CarPix have scored spy shots of what appears to be a high-riding Fiesta-based crossover designed to slot in below the Kuga crossover in the automaker’s European lineup. A Fiesta crossover might sound a little odd at first take, but when it comes to production, it should be roughly the same size as a Nissan Juke or Mini Countryman . That in mind, don’t rule out the possibility of the Fiesta CUV making its way to the U.S.

Video: 2011 Ford Fiesta is so pimping, so sexy
Posted by: | CommentsFiled under: Budget , Videos , Hatchback , Ford Ford Fiesta “You so Pimping, You so Sexy” ad by Film Riot – Click above to watch the video after the jump Ford may have its own ad campaign for the Fiesta , but we’re mildly amused by this one-off, three-minute-long ad created by the folks at Film Riot , an online how-to show about filmmaking. The Blue Oval currently sponsors the Film Riot crew, so it makes sense that the funky new Fiesta hatch (in Lime Squeeze, of course) would be the star of their ad spoof. One part Swagger Wagon rap and one part Sprockets , the Euro-inspired dance track fits the Fiesta perfectly. Note to Ford: Edit this down to a 30-second television spot posthaste, or keep it in its entirety for next year’s Super Bowl
