(from Performance West Group Press Release) Introducing the new 2009 Ford F-150 and 2009 Ford F-350 Striker s, the award winning sport trucks you can own! Created by Hulst Customs, the Strikers are based on the new 2009 Ford F-150 SuperCrew and the 2008 F-350 Crew Cab Dually. Equipped respectively with a 5.4 liter Triton V8 and a Powerstroke Turbo Diesel, the Striker’s subscribe to the hot rodders adage that if a lot of power is just enough, then more is even better. Both of these sport trucks shake the asphalt with the kind of torque and horsepower that are a tribute to the Ford racing legacy that inspired their image. The appearance of the Striker’s doesn’t merely hint at the rippling power beneath their sensuous skins, it conveys it loud and clear. Both trucks are enhanced with the comprehensive 15 piece Striker custom body kit by Hulst Customs that’s smothered in Sherwin-Williams Planet Color Striker Silver, and accented with Badass Blue stripes that run the entire length of the vehicles...

Ford of Europe is set to add a rather frugal and versatile model into its Mondeo line-up, capable of running on three different types of fuels. The new tri-fuel Ford Mondeo is compatible with either petrol, ethanol or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) which results in a vastly extended range and lower running costs. The entire Mondeo line-up – including sedan, hatchback and wagon – is available with the new tri-fuel system, all featuring a 108-kW 2.0-litre engine as standard. The combined petrol and ethanol tank is capable of storing up to 70-litres of fuel, while the separate LPG tank will have a capacity just under 49-litres. This gives the tri-fuel Mondeo an expected range of 850km on petrol or ethanol and 460km on LPG for a combined total of 1,310km on just one fill-up. The wagon version is slightly disadvantaged thanks to its added weight, boasting a slightly diminished range of 1,230km. © Source: caradvice We need your comments below >>

Ford will reveal the Iosis Max Concept which it refers to as a next generation multi-activity vehicle or MAV at Geneva. The Iosis name is known from previous Ford concepts like the 2005 Iosis Concept and the 2006 Iosis X which became the Kuga. Ford Iosis Max further confirms Ford's design future language in the striking trapezoidal shapes, sharp angles and a bold face. It's supposed to be a flexible option for those not just looking to transport the kids but who also want something that could easily pass as a plaything. Positioning itself as a sporty vehicle the Iosis Max features a sloping roofline that flows all the way on to the bonnet just above the aggressive lower front grille. Instead of little bulbs for the LEDs, little strips were installed in the rocker panels. Four 19-inch alloy wheels, an extended panoramic windscreen, the absence of a B pillar and an aerodynamic rear spoiler on the roof above the tailgate glass help the Iosis Max signal its sporting intentions quite...

The Ford Fiesta was Britain's most popular car in January, the third successive month it has topped the UK's sales charts. Despite the depressed UK market being over 30 per cent down on a year ago, Fiesta sales were up by 28.3 per cent last month. January brought more good news for Fiesta when the newcomer was declared What Car? Car of the Year 2009. According to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders' latest figures, Ford Ka, Fiesta, Focus and Galaxy were all sales leaders in their segments. The new Ford Kuga crossover, capable of over 44mpg while emitting only 169g CO2/km, has been Britain's favourite compact 4x4 for four consecutive months.

Just ahead of the Chicago Auto Show, Ford has revealed its 2010 Ford Transit Connect for the U.S. market. The previous versions of the compact panel van has been on the market in Europe since 2002. The commercial vehicle will be powered by a 2.0-liter, 138-horsepower four-cylinder motor with the standard four-speed automatic, capable of 24 mpg on the highway. Though not the most exciting reveal of the upcoming Chicago show, the Transit Connect could be important to Ford’s bottom line if it successfully creates a new niche in North America. Large, fuel-thirsty V8 vans like the E-Series have reigned supreme in the commercial van market for decades, but Ford hopes to capitalize on the success Chrysler has had with the Mercedes-engineered Sprinter. The Transit Connect will be available in four flavors: Van (for cargo hauling) and Wagon (with side windows and bench seats for passenger hauling) in either base XL or more upmarket XLT trim. According to the leaked specs, the XLTs will add a CD...
