Filed under: Hatchback , Ford , Racing There aren’t many American cars that approach $100,000. As excited as they were by the ZR1 ‘s performance figures, Corvette enthusiasts balked at how a ‘Vette could cost so much. After steadily climbing since its announcement a few years ago, the Fisker Karma’s base price just breached the $100k mark . And of course the Ferrari -slaying Ford GT went for a good $150k if you could get your hands on one, and was probably worth even more

And while the Mustang and various Ford trucks play a big role in the Blue Oval booth this year, a significant part of the Motor Company’s exposition centers around the latest Focus . All-in-all, seven Focus models are on display this year. 3dCarbon has busted one out in a white matte finish with tinted windows and red accents, plus roof spoiler, Eibach springs and Pirelli rubber.

Filed under: Concept Cars , LA Auto Show , Performance , Hatchback , Ford Ford already debuted the Fiesta ST concept at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show , but if you recall, that show car was based on the three-door Fiesta that isn’t available here in the United States. Now, Ford is showing off a proper five-door version of the Fiesta ST, set to debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show in two weeks. Ford still tells us that the Fiesta ST is purely a concept right now, but the fact that both three- and five-door variants of the concept have been made leads us to believe that we’ll eventually see a production version.

Filed under: Etc. , Safety , Videos Admittedly, the U.S. doesn’t offer the world’s greatest driving instruction. By and large, young drivers are forced to rely on their parents to teach them how to handle themselves behind the wheel, which perpetuates a painful cycle of trans-generational bad habits
