Ford Motor Company showcased the 2016 Ford Focus RS at the New York International Auto Show in Manhattan. The latest Focus model to join the beloved lineup will come standard with all-wheel drive, 19-inch premium painted allow wheels, a unique exhaust design and updated fascia.

Potholes have been ruining your suspension, rims and just about every other part on your car since you first learned to drive. That’s why the engineers at Ford Motor Company created this new pothole avoidance technology, that essentially allows the wheels on the new 2017 Fusion Sport sedan to skip over potholes.

Finding the perfect vehicle is like picking out just one star from a crystal clear night. There's usually always one star that outshines the rest and catches your attention like no other. The 2016 Ford Focus is that star.

It was in a post late last year that we at Szott Ford offered insight to the totally transformed 2016 Ford Explorer.

Well, we hoped you saved room for seconds, as that's exactly what we're serving up today. And here to kick things off is Autotrader reviewer, Jabari Jones. In the video below he delineates five great reasons why one should consider buying the new-and-improved Explorer. Take a look:

Without question the most opulent of all the Explorer models, the range-topping Platinum lives in the lap of luxury.

The 2016 Ford Fusion Energi Plug-in Hybrid gives drivers choices based on what they crave most: convenience. No matter where you’re headed, or what route you plan to take to get there, this is one full-size sedan that provides a smooth, efficient ride.

With available state-of-the-art mechanization, like SYNC voice-activation, drivers never again need to choose between efficiency and technology.

Plug in. Or not. With the #FusionEnergi the choice is yours. #FordByDesignhttps://t.co/6b5YOMfsym

If you’re a woman who loves adventure, or know one who does, this group is for you. Sisters on the Fly, the largest outdoor adventure group for women in the U.S., is always looking for new members. The group is fun and low-key. In fact, it only has four rules: no men, no kids, be nice and have fun.

Seems simple enough!

The Sisters on the Fly have many annual events: everything from horseback riding week-long camps to fly fishing adventures, hiking, kayaking, and of course, camping. The Sisters are known for their caravans of campers and RVs…

It’s hard to believe but the holiday season is officially over. Already. How did that happen?

Doesn’t it seem like mere days ago we were preparing for Thanksgiving, putting up decorations and lights and putting the finishing touches on our holiday party plans?

Though the season is over, we couldn’t resist this quick peek back in time:

There are lots of reasons to love the holidays; there are lots of reason to hate them, too. Reason number one: the fact that your grandma keeps giving you awful, ugly Christmas sweaters every year, in spite of your best efforts to explain, ever so politely, THAT YOU HATE THEM. Nope, not this year. During Christmas 2015, it's "go big or go home." We're talking to you, Grandma.

The thrill and pride that comes with driving any Ford model is something only felt once you've sat behind the wheel for yourself. The 2016 Ford Mustang is no exception. This sports car never ceases to make its presence felt wherever it goes.

 

A Mustang always makes its presence known. That’s by design. #FordByDesign #Ford #Mustang #FordMustang #GT #animation #MustangMonday
