Detroit: Ford takes interactivity to The Cloud with new Detroit show display

Filed under: Detroit Auto Show , Etc. , Technology , Ford , Infotainment The Detroit Auto Show won’t swing open its doors officially until Monday’s press days, but that doesn’t mean the show hasn’t already taken hold at Cobo Hall, as thousands of workers are busy erecting stands, checking lighting and jockeying vehicles into place. Ford Motor Company officials invited us over a little early to get a sneak peek at their still-being-built display, and it’s chock-full of technology that takes interactivity to a new level.

Filed under: Concept Cars , Budget , Crossover , Misc. Auto Shows , India , South America , Design/Style While we’ve been consumed with the ramp-up to next week’s Detroit Auto Show , there’s a more pressing matter on the international car events calendar – this week’s New Delhi Auto Expo. Ford Motor Company isn’t overlooking the burgeoning biennial show, and it’s taking the opportunity to reveal its first-ever world debut at the show, the next Ford EcoSport . Debuting with a sliver of show-only frosting (check out those glitzy headlamps), the tiny crossover is about the same size as the Fiesta five-door, and it’s built on the Blue Oval’s new global B-Car architecture.

Report: Ford denies starting search for Mulally successor

Filed under: Hirings/Firings/Layoffs , Ford There’s little question that bringing Alan Mulally on board at Ford was the smartest move the company made in decades, nor is there much debate that credit for the company’s salvation is largely due to his office. But could his number be up? Having joined Ford in 2006 as an outsider from aerospace giant Boeing, Mulally (pictured above, left) has been on the job for over five years now. And while he’s showing no signs of slowing down, sources indicate he is unlikely to stay on the job beyond another year or two

Video: Lincoln offers peak into new styling direction with design boss Max Wolff

Filed under: Videos , Ford , Lincoln , Design/Style For a while there, it looked like Ford forgot about Lincoln , and dismal sales numbers reflected the marque’s lack of attention. But just when it was beginning to look like Lincoln was on its last leg, Ford’s luxury arm unveiled the refreshed MKS and MKT at the Los Angeles Auto Show . Those models may not go far enough to usher Lincoln back to relevance, but chief Lincoln designer Max Wolff mentioned at the show that the real changes begin with the 2013 MKZ , which was teased during a video prior to the reveal of the revamped MKS.
