Cylinder-Envy No More



My first car was a used 1981 Ford Mustang. It was a complete piece of garbage, but it was the best I could do with $900 worth of hard-earned busboy tips. It only had one side mirror, the power steering fluid had to be filled every two weeks and there was a nail in the dashboard. I would have removed that last bit of nonstandard hardware, but whenever the Brown Bomber didn't want to turn over, touching the nail for luck seemed to work. But compared to my friends' cars, mine at least looked the fastest. Looks don't win at the stoplight, though, and my rust-colored 'Stang featured the double whammy of a 109-horsepower 2.8-liter V6 and an automatic transmission.

To say that my Mustang's powertrain was a disappointment could be the understatement of the century, but I wasn't the only V6-powered Mustang owner suffering from horsepower humiliation. It would be another 30 years before Ford would offer a V6-powered Mustang with anything more than mule muscle, but that's where we are today. The 2012 Mustang boasts a legit 305 horsepower, or more punch than the 4.6-liter V8 under the hood of the 2009 Mustang GT. I have no doubt that the 2012 Mustang is vastly superior to my 1981 shame machine, but does that 305 horsepower and a vastly improved rear-wheel-drive chassis make this Mustang one of America's great performance bargains? Hit the jump to find out.

India, as you might know, represents a wealth of potential growth for automakers. Some foreign brands even chose to attend the New Delhi Auto Expo this year, rather than the North America International Auto Show. Ford decided to go to both. That said; they took their time in New Delhi very seriously, debuting a new compact SUV they're hoping will help steal a significant portion of the market's fast-growing demand.

FORD F-150
The obvious big news from the Blue Oval boys for the F-150 are the new engines and powertrains. From top to bottom, all of them are impressive, with class-leading power and torque in their segments. Weâ??ve previously tested the 302 hp 3.7-liter V-6 and 411 hp 6.2-liter V-8. For the purposes of this test, we focused on the 5.0-liter V-8 and the talk-of-the-town 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6. Itâ??s hard to beat the 5.0â??s musclecar soundtrack, except when youâ??re talking about the EcoBoostâ??s astounding 420 lb-ft of torque. With sales of V-6-powered F-150s out-pacing V-8s, it seems truck buyers are warming to Fordâ??s high-tech vision of the truck future faster than many expected.

Ford Taurus hit dealership lots running back in 1986. Since that time, this vehicle has become one of the best selling sedans in North America, and without a doubt one of Ford's staple cars.

The original Taurus wasn't a boxy 80's hunk of metal, but a light,fiberglass curvy goddess, which influenced many other car companies to rethink vehicle design. Since Taurus launched, Ford has constructed 7,519,919 models through 2007

The next time you're sitting at the local art house theater, don't be surprised if a documentary film comes on the screen with "produced by Ford Motor Co." in its credits. As part of Ford's ongoing Eco-friendly initiative, the auto maker will fund / produce documentary films about 'green' topics.

You gotta love Ford, not only do they make fuel efficient versions like the Ford Focus for 2012, but they even help fund

If you are looking for a powerful and sporty car, a Ford Mustang or a Shelby GT500 may come to your mind. But with the right tweaks, a simpler Ford Fiesta could also give you a run for your money. Ford was aware of that, as it has introduced a turbocharged Ford Fiesta ST, at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show.

The new Fiesta ST, is borrowing from the performance-tuned and share exterior aesthetics from
