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

The majority of our atmosphere is made of nitrogen. Following that, the oxygen we all love to breathe. Then there is a small amount of argon, an inert gas. Finally, about 0.03 percent is made up of carbon dioxide.

It sounds like a tiny amount, but carbon is a surprisingly important part of the air. Plants "breathe" carbon dioxide, and use it to grow. It also is very effective at…

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.

Here at Dean Arbour Ford Lincoln, our team understands that, quite often, the maintenance needs of your vehicle fall to the wayside. You're a busy person! Whether you've had a long day at work or have an endless list of errands to run, we understand that the maintenance needs of your vehicle may be the last thing on your mind. Fortunately for you though, we've got a solution, particularly when it comes to searching out a new set of tires for your Ford. Check it out below:

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…

Searching for someone who encompasses all the right qualities can often prove difficult. In the short, facetious clip below you'll see that Ricky has come to the devastating realization that he'll just never compare to the 2016 Ford Fusion, the vehicle his girlfriend Tina drives.

We know why Tina chose the Ford Fusion here at Dean Arbour Ford Lincoln, and once you take its wheel you'll underst

Detroit, Michigan, has a bad rap. But there are a lot of really great things going on in the city. Ford wanted to showcase one of these programs, called, “Detroit Treads.” The program, started by Ford owner and executive director of Cass Community Social Services, Rev. Faith Fowler, is unique.

Homeless men are given jobs and the city is cleaned up at the same time. Illegally dumped tires are located around the city and brought to a central warehouse. Here, the trained men make the tires into sandals and mud mats. Each creation is signed by the man who made…

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…
