Say hello to the 2017 #Ford #Fusion, an impressive combination of safety and style. https://t…

TGIF! Today is a double-win: not only is it Friday, but it's a gorgeous summer Friday! Well technically it's still spring; summer starts one month from today. In preparation, read "Summer Survival Tips for Safe Travels, Bugs and More," a Ford Social piece from a few years ago.

Out of the three most popular compact crossovers out there, the Ford Escape is near the top of the heap. In fact, as far as its native brand is concerned, it's the Blue Oval's second most popular model (behind the F-150, no less). While that says quite a bit about this CUV as a whole, second best is not a slot Ford is content with. So, they've updated the car for 2017.

Lately, we at Szott Ford are feeling a bit like proud parents. And, in a lot of ways, that sentiment can be attributed to our all-new hot hatchback, the 2016 Ford Focus RS.

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.

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.
