Ford takes the job of building quality cars seriously. That attention to detail is evident everywhere you look in our new Ford inventory in Alpena, from the cup holders, to the SYNC 3 in-cabin technology, to cutting-edge designs.

That's why when Ford realized it could improve the quality of production vehicles by taking the wind tunnel to the assembly line, rather than having assembly plants ship vehicles away to stationary aerodynamics laboratories

Hold on to your cup! Even the cupholders were redesigned for the new 2017 #Ford #Fusion. https://t.co/LKCdXg8yj1 pic.twitter.com/FKKdCOQyM1

Cup holders seem like a small detail, but when they are done wrong, it can be a big deal.

Say your stomach is grumbling and you're starting to feel "hangry." You stop at a drive-thru and order some food and a large drink. Trouble is, the drink doesn't fit in the cup holders. So what do you do?

You can't put it down on the floor…

Ford’s Dearborn, Michigan campus will be getting more than a facelift over the next ten years, with an extensive renovation project scheduled to get underway this month, the new campus should be sustainable, mobility-focused, beautiful, and eco-friendly. Check out the video below to see what the future of the campus might look like in an artist’s digital rendering.

Rivalries, they're everywhere. The Red Sox and the Yankees, The Red Wings and the Leafs, cats and dogs, cats and other cats for that matter. However, there are few rivalries more one-sided than cars versus potholes. Every year around this time, we're treated to freshly pockmarked roads, ready to ruin our suspensions, our days, and if we're holding a fresh cup of coffee, our pants too. Well today, Ford Motor Company is fighting back against the pothole menace.

 

Hate potholes? So do we.

Ford recently made a list of winter driving tips for surviving Michigan's frigid climate. They seem to have forgotten the one tip to rule them all: drive a Ford Focus RS.

The new Focus RS, as we learned in Auto Trader's 2016 Focus RS drive review, has immense fun and capability packed into one compact body. When a car this nimble and powerful comes with all-wheel drive, it screams, "Shred snow with me!"

"We started this project knowing what our RS customers really want out of their cars," says Ford Performance Chassis Supervisor, Adam Wirth. "This tire package…

While we at Dean Arbour Ford Lincoln no doubt have love for each and every member of the lineup, there are admittedly some that seem to stand out just a bit more than the rest. And by all accounts, the 2016 Ford Focus RS, our spanking-new hot hatchback, is one such vehicle.

And, as it turns out, the fine folks at Auto Trader UK agree. Check the clip below to hear what Senior Road Tester, Paul Bond, has to say about the Focus RS:

The real bread-and-butter of this brawny beaut is its incredible engine. Motivated by a turbocharged 2…

A Wall Street Journal article published today announces that Ford Motor Company is going to spend $1.3 billion and create 2,000 jobs in Kentucky as part of an effort to increase availability of heavier-duty F-Series pickup trucks. Bigger versions of the truck, like the F-250 and F-350 Super Duty, are moving to aluminum like the F-150 did.

The hottest vehicles of the annual Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show have been announced, and there's no surprises here: our Ford automaker swept the competition.

The Ford Mustang, F-Series, and Focus scooped up the awards for Hottest Car, Truck, and Sport-Compact at the highly-anticipated yearly event, and quite frankly we're not surprised. Ford is the largest OEM in attendance at the trade show, with 28 unique SEMA builder cars featured on the Ford stand alone, and nearly 50 vehicles on display total...

If you asked us at Dean Arbour Ford Lincoln what we like best about or compact crossover, the 2015 Ford Edge, we'd likely be here for quite some time. It's just that alluring.

Ask the folks at Autotrader for their favorite features and they'll come back with five great ones. Find out what they are in the clip below:

Climb the Edge's trim ladder to the top rung and there you'll find the spiffed-out Sport model.

Standard equipment on this trim includes the brawniest engine of the bunch -- a 315-horsepower turbo V6, at that -- 20-inch…

It's not every day that a car like the 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 comes around. In many ways, it's the epitome of extraordinary.

How can we at Dean Arbour Ford Lincoln make such a bold proclamation? Scope the clip below, a video review of the Shelby GT350 from the folks at MotorWeek, to find out:

Just beneath this speedster's snout, a 5.2-liter V8 engine holds court with a six-speed manual transmission. Together, they turn out a truly titanic 526 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque.
