A panel of 49 North American automotive journalists selects the winners based on innovation, design, safety, handling, driver satisfaction and value. Hybrids have now been honored five times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Fusion Hybrid set a new benchmark in taking hybrid technology to the next level. Marrying a seamless, sophisticated hybrid powertrain to the outstanding Fusion platform—positioned solidly in the middle of the mainstream market—proved to be a winning combination. It’s fun to drive and speaks of refinement all around, from handling and braking through comfort and convenience. Yet, the Ford Fusion Hybrid has been a sleeper, selling far fewer units than the Toyota Prius or the Toyota Camry Hybrid. Perhaps this recognition as the car of the year, and other accolades, will help consumers become more aware of the Fusion Hybrid in their purchase decisions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 132px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5436732183662834882" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Uo2q2Gga5iI/S3MnHbIoNMI/AAAAAAAAAGA/ltxiDloLlsE/s320/smartguage-502.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;City fuel economy for the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid almost doubles the city efficiency of the non-hybrid Fusion. Correcting the Bad Rap Against Hybrids"The Toyota Prius and other hybrids are great for eco-geeks who hold fuel efficiency, low emissions and high-tech auto technology as sacrosanct—and all other car features as sacrifice. But drivers looking for a smooth, comfortable ride—with a modicum of style and performance—might as well forget hybrids." So goes the old opinion of many auto journalists who historically dinged hybrids for lackluster driving characteristics, squishy brakes, and clunky transitions between gas and electric power. But that was before the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid, a family sedan that offers 41 mpg in the city—and more importantly, some fun and refinement behind the wheel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Compare the Fusion!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;If you're thinking about buying a Ford Fusion Hybrid, you might also consider a Toyota Camry Hybrid or a Nissan Altima Hybrid. Compare these vehicles. USA Today emphatically stated, “The 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid is the best gasoline-electric hybrid yet.” Cars.com said, “Fusion Hybrid is a significant step forward for the technology, particularly for family sedans.” And Car and Driver said the Ford Fusion Hybrid “wipes the floor with the Toyota Camry Hybrid.” Comparisons with the Toyota Camry Hybrid and Nissan Altima Hybrid (only available in eight states) make sense. They currently are the three leading hybrid contenders in the mid-size family sedan category. The Toyota Prius hatchback—with its unique aerodynamic design, slightly smaller interior, smaller engine and 50-mpg rating—will probably appeal to a different buyer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;From Gas to Electric and Back The Ford Fusion Hybrid’s 41 city / 36 highway mileage ratings handily beat the Camry Hybrid’s 33/34 and the Altima Hybrid’s 35/33. Ford engineers also did a tremendous job of eliminating the flutter-rumble that many hybrids make when transitioning from gas engine to electric mode. In the Fusion Hybrid, the gasoline engine seamlessly starts up and shuts down "with only the very faintest shudder” according to Automobile magazine. USA Today goes further: “There was no—none, nada, zip—vibration or shimmying in the test car when the gasoline kicked in to help the electric. No other hybrid—not even that $107,000 Lexus—can make that claim 100 percent of the time.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Fusion Hybrid—and its sibling, the Mercury Milan Hybrid—are the first vehicles to use Ford’s second-generation hybrid system. Hybrid-electric vehicle systems engineer Gil Portalatin told us that the control logic for the new hybrid system provides much tighter integration of engine operation and power delivery. The new logic goes as far as to vary the engine’s valve timing, fuel delivery, and spark timing to match the power delivered through the electric motor, permitting very aggressive fuel shutdown under light loads. As a result, the Fusion Hybrid’s 2.5-liter engine shuts itself off twice as much as the earlier Escape, with the electric system providing more power. In addition, new control logic for the regenerative brakes recaptures up to 94 percent of the braking energy and feeds it to the battery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6687935263736443539-8908708878994690361?l=andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com/feeds/8908708878994690361/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com/2010/02/2010-ford-fusion-hybrid.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6687935263736443539/posts/default/8908708878994690361'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6687935263736443539/posts/default/8908708878994690361'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com/2010/02/2010-ford-fusion-hybrid.html' title='2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid'/><author><name>Anderson Ford Mercury</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05784146609476800337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='13' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Uo2q2Gga5iI/SYocIq0ITTI/AAAAAAAAAAM/wL0z7AjJ8bw/S220/Anderson-Front.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Uo2q2Gga5iI/S3MaBBra7MI/AAAAAAAAAF4/zNXfZkK54kU/s72-c/100860-01+023-320.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687935263736443539.post-278763545615973915</id><published>2010-01-05T13:40:00.003-06:00</published><updated>2010-01-05T13:48:13.161-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Congratulations!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Congratulations to Cody &amp;amp;

This vehicle packs a punch with 540hp and 510 lb-ft and is fully-loaded with the ROUSH® body components; resonator exhaust; four-piston front brakes with 14-inch rotors and painted rear calipers with slotted rotors; and the new upper billet grille which removes the fog lamps and streamlines the appearance of the new Mustang while improving cooling performance. Interior enhancements include ROUSH® leather seats with an embroidered Jack Roush signature; four-piece performance pedals; ROUSH® illuminated sill plates; short throw shifter with black or white ball; and a new interior Stage 3™ badge with the car's serial number engraved.&lt;br /&gt;The 2010 ROUSH® Stage 3™ Mustang rides on 18-inch chrome wheels &lt;br /&gt;with high-performance Cooper RS3 tires; 20-inch chrome wheels with Cooper RS3 tires are one of the few options available on this model. The suspension package includes ROUSH® front struts, rear shocks, front and rear springs, front and rear stabilizer bars and jounce bumpers."The ROUSH® Stage 3™ Mustang has traditionally been among the halo vehicles of our lineup and I'm really proud that it sits atop the pecking order once again," said Jack Roush. "This new iteration of the Stage 3™ represents our highest horsepower and most sophisticated ROUSH® Mustang yet, and is sure to resonate among our fans. "The 2010 ROUSH® Stage 3™ Mustang will have a limited production run of only 103 vehicles.This vehicle uses the same engine that debuted in the 2009 ROUSH® P-51B™ Mustang. In order to get this type of power from the Ford 4.6L, 3-valve engine, ROUSH technicians replace many of the internal components with stronger parts including forged aluminum pistons (with an increased dish to lower the compression ratio from 9.8 to 8.6), forged steel H-Beam connecting rods and a forged steel crankshaft. The fuel rails are changed, as are the fuel injectors and an upgraded fuel pump. ROUSH® also upgrades the clutch and includes a custom-calibration for the ECM to manage the performance of the next-generation R2300 &lt;br /&gt;ROUSHcharger®.As is standard with all new ROUSH® Mustangs, this car will come with the anti-wheel hop kit installed during the assembly process. This part (No. 401788) is an outstanding addition to any 2005-2010 Ford Mustang GT. The 2010 ROUSH® Stage 3™ Mustang is covered by a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty and will be available with a manual transmission only.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6687935263736443539-2716292587902620124?l=andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com/feeds/2716292587902620124/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com/2009/09/2010-roush-stage-3-mustang-once-again.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6687935263736443539/posts/default/2716292587902620124'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6687935263736443539/posts/default/2716292587902620124'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com/2009/09/2010-roush-stage-3-mustang-once-again.html' title=''/><author><name>Anderson Ford Mercury</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05784146609476800337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='13' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Uo2q2Gga5iI/SYocIq0ITTI/AAAAAAAAAAM/wL0z7AjJ8bw/S220/Anderson-Front.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Uo2q2Gga5iI/SsPAUehcozI/AAAAAAAAAFQ/LSUcWoh_-HQ/s72-c/veh_mustang_2010_stage3_6_350.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687935263736443539.post-746073878290386929</id><published>2009-09-24T15:34:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2009-09-24T15:43:07.637-05:00</updated><title type='text'>2010 Taurus Drive Time...blog post from Carson Lomax</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Uo2q2Gga5iI/SrvZy1Esh9I/AAAAAAAAAE4/cf6ZMcvAAZ4/s1600-h/2010_Taurus+003.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Uo2q2Gga5iI/SrvZy1Esh9I/AAAAAAAAAE4/cf6ZMcvAAZ4/s320/2010_Taurus+003.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385137246715021266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Anderson Ford here in little ole' Clinton finally got a Taurus and, while it's not the SHO I've been waiting for, it at least is the color I'm wanting (candy red metallic). It's an SEL with the only option being SYNC. I went in this afternoon to take it for a spin as this will be my first time seeing the car in person, let alone sitting in the car and "test fitting" it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the name of full disclosure, I'm a big guy. About 6'4" and well north of 350 lbs. My current daily driver is a 1994 Crown Vic and I own two Mustangs (1990 and a 1978) and my wife drives a 2007 Lincoln MKZ. I fit in all of the cars fairly well with the MKZ being slightly tighter being that my right knee rests right on the edge of the center stack. It's annoying but doesn't keep me from driving the car on long trips (just got back from Kansas City, MO this week).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to the Taurus. The salesman, Patrick, and I head out to the car. I have to say the Taurus, even in "lowly" SEL trim has presence. The character line that runs from nose to tail at the belt line actually continues into the headlight housing; a detail I had not noticed in the photos and was something I impressed with. It would have been easier/cheaper not to continue that detail into the clear lens but nonetheless it's a subtle feature that I think many would be surprised by. Speaking of that character line, I feel it is perfect for the car. It helps to lengthen the body of the car and helps to transition to the taillamp assembly. I also believe if you look back at Ford fullsize cars of the 50's and 60's you would find that same line. I like it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fuel door also surprised me in that there is no "finger hole" to open the door. Instead you push on the cover like you would a compartment on a piece of AV equipment and the door pops open. Much classier than the "pull hole" that's on other car and is the same as the 2010 Mustang from what Patrick told me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I get in the car. With the seat all the way back, the steering wheel up and in all the way I have plenty of room. Ingress into the car is effortless and easier than my Vic or the MKZ. I was worried about feeling cramped with the way the center console dominates the interior but once settled in the car and the door shut I found the dual cockpit feel very comfortable and inviting. Seatbelt use was easy thanks to seatbelt receptacles that were not buried down between the seat cushion and center console; a lesson I'd like to think the engineers learned from the Fusion/MKZ because those things are buried compared to the Taurus. Head room is an easy 2+ inches (and I've got a big melon for a head). Sight lines out the front glass is large and unobtrusive. IP gauge visibility is perfect. I didn't play with the controls on the center stack although everything was apparently within easy reach. The buttons for the information display (INFO, RESET, etc) were at the very edge of my reach without having to bend forward but I told Patrick I hardly ever use those in the MKZ anyway. He apparently uses the ones in his truck more often and found these a stretch for him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I put the car in gear and we leave the dealership. This car is equipped with paddle shifters and I was itching to try them out. We stayed in town at first and I left the car in "D". The six speed shifted excellently and I feel it's strategy has been significantly upgraded compared to the shifting in the MKZ. Often the MKZ hunts for the correct gear ratio around town, something I feel is related to the drive by wire programming and the computer trying to interpret what gear the car should be in. The Taurus exhibited none of this and was always in the right gear at the right time. The 3.5L also had plenty of pickup for the size of the Taurus. I can only imagine what it's going to be like with 100hp more in SHO trim. Sightlines out the back window, something the magazines complained about, was fine. I could clearly see traffic behind me in normal driving and felt no desire for a "larger" sight picture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I decided to work the manual mode of the transmission and see how it worked. One question I had was how the transmission handled coming to a stop in manual mode (do you downshift it to '1' or does it hold the last gear you're in?). The first "test" was changing from 'D' to 'M' while cruising, like the SHO commercial. Cruising at a leisurely 30mph I dropped it into 'M'. The gear number indicator immediately lit up '4' indicating I was in fourth gear. I use my left thumb to toggle the thumb lever outboard and the transmission immediately downshifts to third with a blip of the throttle. Awesome. I hit it again and we're in second as we approach a stop sign. I leave it in second as we come to a stop. At around the 5-10mph mark the indicator changes to '1', indicating we're in first gear. So the transmission, even in manual mode, is smart enough to know when coming to a stop it should shift back to first gear. Whether this is good or bad, I don't know but it did answer a question I had regarding it's operation. Leaving the stop sign I "let the big dog eat" and ran the engine out to 6500rpm and pulled the left paddle (I'm left handed) to initiate an upshift. I was slightly disappointed in the perceptible lag in upshift timing but when the transmission did shift it was clean and quick. Pulling through second the engine felt very strong and never appeared to run out of steam. The upshift to third was more of a disappointment as the transmission seemed to hesitate between letting go of second and "engaging" third. It could have been the engine speed or it could have been programming, no way of knowing. Resuming a more "legal" speed I clicked the trans back to 'D' and let it handle shifting duties while I focused on driving.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We turned off the highway onto some twisty two lane country roads. I selected manual mode again and took to carving some corners. The Taurus, for being a two ton sedan, was sure footed and solid as I took the car through some tight back country roads. Had the corn been cut I would have been able to easily raise my speeds 10mph or more and apex the turns more effectively but at no time did I get the impression that the car was "un easy" or being pushed too far. The brakes were effective although I wasn't pushing the car hard enough to work them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We concluded our romp with a quiet, leisurely cruise back to the dealership. The car is extremely quiet and comfortable. I wish I'd had my SHO for my trip to Kansas City I just got back from, it would have made the trip that much more awesome. I love the looks of the car (red is the color to get...maybe steel blue too, it's a toss up).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We ended our escapade talking about the SHO. Turns out only customer ordered cars are being built right now and the fastest way to get one is to order one since after the customer orders are filled, then the dealer allotments will be done. Some dealers have gotten their allotment car(s) already but they said if I want one, ordering it will get it fastest. They said figure 6 to 8 weeks to slot it in from when I order. So, after driving the car today I feel pretty good about placing my order so tomorrow (Friday) I think I'm going in and I'll throw my hat in the ring. I've got my X-plan PIN and I know what I want so we'll see what happens. Long story longer, the new Taurus is awesome and should be a home run for Ford. Drive One.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Carson&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Originally posted on the Blue Oval Forums website&lt;br /&gt;http://www.blueovalforums.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=34665&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6687935263736443539-746073878290386929?l=andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com/feeds/746073878290386929/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com/2009/09/2010-taurus-drive-timeblog-post-from.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6687935263736443539/posts/default/746073878290386929'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6687935263736443539/posts/default/746073878290386929'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com/2009/09/2010-taurus-drive-timeblog-post-from.html' title='2010 Taurus Drive Time...blog post from Carson Lomax'/><author><name>Anderson Ford Mercury</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05784146609476800337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='13' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Uo2q2Gga5iI/SYocIq0ITTI/AAAAAAAAAAM/wL0z7AjJ8bw/S220/Anderson-Front.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Uo2q2Gga5iI/SrvZy1Esh9I/AAAAAAAAAE4/cf6ZMcvAAZ4/s72-c/2010_Taurus+003.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687935263736443539.post-7025695859825936506</id><published>2009-07-14T09:31:00.002-05:00</published><updated>2009-07-14T09:38:49.920-05:00</updated><title type='text'>2010 Taurus SHO</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="408" height="262"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.webridestv.com/xml/wbembedplayersmall.swf?movieid=200011"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.webridestv.com/xml/wbembedplayersmall.swf?movieid=200011"   type="/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="408" height="262"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6687935263736443539-7025695859825936506?l=andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com/feeds/7025695859825936506/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com/2009/07/2010-taurus-sho.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6687935263736443539/posts/default/7025695859825936506'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6687935263736443539/posts/default/7025695859825936506'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com/2009/07/2010-taurus-sho.html' title='2010 Taurus SHO'/><author><name>Anderson Ford Mercury</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05784146609476800337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='13' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Uo2q2Gga5iI/SYocIq0ITTI/AAAAAAAAAAM/wL0z7AjJ8bw/S220/Anderson-Front.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687935263736443539.post-2161904323185949359</id><published>2009-07-01T16:02:00.011-05:00</published><updated>2009-07-14T09:42:07.403-05:00</updated><title type='text'>2010 F-150 SVT Raptor</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Uo2q2Gga5iI/SkvT9sEkluI/AAAAAAAAAEw/tu-BaxfqKCY/s1600-h/raptor_org_dash_1024x768.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353605638815782626" style="WIDTH: 400px;

has raised the performance bar! Introducing the all-new &lt;strong&gt;2010 F-150 SVT Raptor&lt;/strong&gt;! It's the purpose-built, high-performance, no-excuses truck with the credentials to take on challenging off-road adventures and versatile enough to handle everyday life on pavement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE EXTERIOR:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Form Does Follow Function&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;F-150 SVT Raptor is tough, fast and built with performance in mind. The aggressive appearance is shaped by performance needs. The distinctive "brick wall" grille includes 'integrated marker lamps' that accent the imposing stance and make Raptor 'street legal'. The power dome hood features 'functional heat extractors' to help lower underhood temperatures. Front fenders include 'additional heat extractors' and are flared to provide the room for '7 additional inches of front track width' and the '35 inch BFGoodrich all-terrain tires wrapped around 17-inch cast aluminum wheels. It's also impossible to miss the 'massive front skid plate' keeping the engine and transfer case protected. Every detail is aimed at delivering serious "Off-Road" capability.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE INTERIOR:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Rugged &amp;amp; Refined&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Raptor offers an interior designed to handle the dunes or driving in town. 'Auxiliary switch panel' on the center console makes aftermarket customization easier, with four prewired switches attached to the power distribution box for electrical accessories. Hill Decent Control and Off-Road Mode are also located on the auxiliary switch panel. 'Leather-wrapped steering wheel includes thumb pads and an orange leather strip that serves as a centering sight line--especially useful in extreme driving maneuvers that can cause the driver to lose perspective of the steering wheel's center point.&lt;br /&gt;"Leather trimmed seats offer comfort, and are designed with unique bolstering to help keep you planted in the seat when the going gets a little rough. The seats in the photo above are included with the available Interior Appearance Package with orange inserts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE TECH:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;Serious Capability&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Raptor not only has the chassis designed to soak up the rugged off-road, it has the technology and the capability to perform.&lt;br /&gt;320hp and 390 lb-ft torque are on tap from the 5.5L SOHC V8 FFV engine. Or choose the optional 6.2L SOHC V8(coming winter 2010) delivering an estimated 400hp and over 400lb-ft torque. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission.&lt;br /&gt;The Electronic Locking Rear Differential uses a true mechanical connection to lock the left and right axle shafts together so both turn at the same speed with the same amount of torque. This switch-controlled feature maximizes traction capability at the wheel with grip, without having to stop the truck. The power sent to the wheels via a serious 4.10 axle ratio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE CHASSIS:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;The Right Stuff&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Building a high-performance off-road truck isn't all about horsepower, although the Raptor has plenty of that! A serious off-road truck starts with the right suspension, and the Raptor has the goods. 'Fox Racing Shox' use a patented internal bypass system to provide position-sensitive damping for the Raptor shock absorbers. This allows for softer damping at ride-height to help improve traction, stability and comfort. Stiffer damping toward the end of the shock absorber stroke allows the Raptor to be driven more aggressively without bottoming out. The bottomline: Raptor offers an impressive 11.2 inches of suspension travel in front and 12.1 inches of travel in the rear. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6687935263736443539-2161904323185949359?l=andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com/feeds/2161904323185949359/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com/2009/07/f-ord-is-established-leader-in-tough.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6687935263736443539/posts/default/2161904323185949359'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6687935263736443539/posts/default/2161904323185949359'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com/2009/07/f-ord-is-established-leader-in-tough.html' title='2010 F-150 SVT Raptor'/><author><name>Anderson Ford Mercury</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05784146609476800337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='13' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Uo2q2Gga5iI/SYocIq0ITTI/AAAAAAAAAAM/wL0z7AjJ8bw/S220/Anderson-Front.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Uo2q2Gga5iI/SkvT9sEkluI/AAAAAAAAAEw/tu-BaxfqKCY/s72-c/raptor_org_dash_1024x768.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687935263736443539.post-2604289949318194827</id><published>2009-06-08T14:52:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2009-06-08T14:52:55.103-05:00</updated><title type='text'>2010 ROUSH Mustang Burnout!</title><content type='html'>&lt;object width="408" height="262"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://roushtv.roushperformance.com/flash/embedroush.swf?movieid=58"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://roushtv.roushperformance.com/flash/embedroush.swf?movieid=58"   type="/x-shockwave-flash" width="408" height="262"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6687935263736443539-2604289949318194827?l=andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com/feeds/2604289949318194827/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com/2009/06/2010-roush-mustang-burnout.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6687935263736443539/posts/default/2604289949318194827'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6687935263736443539/posts/default/2604289949318194827'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com/2009/06/2010-roush-mustang-burnout.html' title='2010 ROUSH Mustang Burnout!'/><author><name>Anderson Ford Mercury</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05784146609476800337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='13' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Uo2q2Gga5iI/SYocIq0ITTI/AAAAAAAAAAM/wL0z7AjJ8bw/S220/Anderson-Front.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687935263736443539.post-4404716147334708359</id><published>2009-05-28T14:03:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2009-05-28T14:06:10.577-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Spring Sale Grill Give-A-Way Winners</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Uo2q2Gga5iI/Sh7gFb-VNYI/AAAAAAAAADg/I-ZH2uKdE3c/s1600-h/DSC00627.JPG"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340952592121148802" style="DISPLAY: block;

They have been released!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;We just got word that the 2010 &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Roush&lt;/span&gt; Mustangs have been released. They will be arriving at the dealership soon. Here's a sneak peek!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.anderson-ford.com/blog/uploaded_images/Slide45-738244.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;The &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;ROUSH&lt;/span&gt; 2010 427R™ Mustang will be the first in the lineup of new &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;ROUSH&lt;/span&gt;® 2010 Mustangs to have a &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;ROUSHcharger&lt;/span&gt;® installed which boosts the horsepower to 435 and offers 400 lb.-ft. of torque. This is the first time that &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;ROUSH&lt;/span&gt; has been able to offer a supercharged vehicle at the launch of a new body style.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;Under the hood customers will see many differences in the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;ROUSH&lt;/span&gt; 2010 427R Mustang compared to previous years. One of the biggest changes is that the long air induction tube that wrapped around the engine was eliminated making a much cleaner appearance under the hood. The &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;intercooler&lt;/span&gt; reservoir has more than twice the volume of previous generations, and the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;intercooler&lt;/span&gt; itself is a single core cross-flow radiator which means more efficient cooling. It is substantially larger than on prior model years, and is now raised higher off the ground which should offer much less potential for road debris damage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;Even the hoses on the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;ROUSH&lt;/span&gt; 2010 427R have seen an upgrade; they are all now 100 percent molded rubber with abrasion resistance and have imprinted markings for things like the clamp locations. This makes for even more of a true &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;OEM&lt;/span&gt; appearance under the hood, and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;ROUSH&lt;/span&gt; has taken this factory appearance to the degree of matching the Ford grain on the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;OEM&lt;/span&gt; radiator reservoir and duplicated it on the one used by the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;intercooler&lt;/span&gt;. Although much of the 4.6L, 3V &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;powertrain&lt;/span&gt; components are a carryover from that used on the 2005-2009 &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;ROUSH&lt;/span&gt; Mustangs, customers will notice much more refinement and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;OEM&lt;/span&gt;-level quality materials and appearance on the new &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;ROUSHcharged&lt;/span&gt;™ engines. This new 427R™ is be covered by a 3-year/36,000 mile warranty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 212px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.anderson-ford.com/blog/uploaded_images/veh_2010_427r_2_big-735165.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"&gt;The 2010 427R™ includes an appearance package which is comprised of several components such as a new front fascia and front splitter, rear fascia, side splitters, and a three-piece rear wing. The new rear fascia is a one-piece design which improves the fit and finish; the part is injection-molded by &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"&gt;ROUSH&lt;/span&gt; Manufacturing in an &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18"&gt;OEM&lt;/span&gt;-level &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19"&gt;TPO&lt;/span&gt; plastic which, in the black color with decorative grain, will help reduce rock chips. The vehicle rides on 18-inch cast chrome wheels with high-performance Cooper &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20"&gt;Zeon&lt;/span&gt; tires, with a new 20-inch c&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21"&gt;ast&lt;/span&gt; chrome wheel as an available option.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;This package also includes an all-new suspension package to greatly enhance the handling of the vehicle and turn that daily commute into a slalom course. The &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22"&gt;ROUSH&lt;/span&gt; chassis engineering team has driven tens of thousands of miles on the streets and tracks to create the best blend of comfort and handling, and claim that this is the best suspension package they have come up with yet for the Mustang. A &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23"&gt;ROUSH&lt;/span&gt; wheel hop reduction kit will be included with all vehicles that have the upgraded &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24"&gt;ROUSH&lt;/span&gt; suspension package installed at the factory.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Give us a call today for more info and &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25"&gt;availability&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6687935263736443539-3581623975230589278?l=andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com/feeds/3581623975230589278/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com/2009/03/2010-roush-mustang-they-have-been.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6687935263736443539/posts/default/3581623975230589278'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6687935263736443539/posts/default/3581623975230589278'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com/2009/03/2010-roush-mustang-they-have-been.html' title='2010 Roush Mustang!

It was determined that the only way to give the P-51BTM moniker its due was to completely break into the 4.6L, 3V and rebuild several of the functional internal components, which include a forged steel eight-bolt crankshaft, forged aluminum pistons with increased dish to lower the compression from 9:8 to 8:6, and forged steel H-Beam connecting rods. These upgraded parts were necessary for the stock Ford engine (which comes with 300 horsepower from the factory) to be able to withstand the additional power generated from the newest iteration of the legendary ROUSHchargerTM supercharger system.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;Visit our &lt;a href="http://www.anderson-ford.com/"&gt;webpage&lt;/a&gt; for more pics and info.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6687935263736443539-7040016861425777553?l=andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.anderson-ford.com/Roush/roush.home.html' title='Roush P51b'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com/feeds/7040016861425777553/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com/2009/02/introducing-all-new-2009-roush-p-51b.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6687935263736443539/posts/default/7040016861425777553'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6687935263736443539/posts/default/7040016861425777553'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com/2009/02/introducing-all-new-2009-roush-p-51b.html' title='Roush P51b'/><author><name>Anderson Ford Mercury</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05784146609476800337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='13' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Uo2q2Gga5iI/SYocIq0ITTI/AAAAAAAAAAM/wL0z7AjJ8bw/S220/Anderson-Front.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687935263736443539.post-3346248845374534749</id><published>2009-02-04T19:05:00.000-06:00</published><updated>2009-02-04T17:06:02.117-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Welcome</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.anderson-ford.com/blog/uploaded_images/Anderson-Front-724799.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 134px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.anderson-ford.com/blog/uploaded_images/Anderson-Front-724790.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Welcome to &lt;a href="http://www.anderson-ford.com/"&gt;Anderson Ford Mercury &lt;/a&gt;in Clinton IL. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;We have lots of exciting things planned for 2009 that we know you&lt;br /&gt;will want to be a part of.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Check back often we will update soon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6687935263736443539-3346248845374534749?l=andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com/feeds/3346248845374534749/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com/2009/02/welcome.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6687935263736443539/posts/default/3346248845374534749'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6687935263736443539/posts/default/3346248845374534749'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://andersonfordmercury.blogspot.com/2009/02/welcome.html' title='Welcome'/><author><name>Anderson Ford Mercury</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05784146609476800337</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='13' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Uo2q2Gga5iI/SYocIq0ITTI/AAAAAAAAAAM/wL0z7AjJ8bw/S220/Anderson-Front.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
