2012 Ford Edge Limited
- 2012 Ford Edge Limited
Despite the missing two cylinders, the new EcoBoost engine still pulls like a strong and smooth V-6. Despite the missing two cylinders, the new EcoBoost engine still pulls like a strong and smooth V-6. There is little lag, and I doubt that most buyers would notice any difference in power delivery. However, they will probably notice the very un-V-6-like noises coming from the engine bay - it may pull like a V-6, but sounds like the four-cylinder it is. What owners of previous Edge models will definitely notice is the electric power-assisted steering. The wheel feels as though it's attached to nothing, and makes the steering seem sloppy. It also gives zero feedback as to what the wheels are doing -- it's like something that belongs in a video game.

First Look: 2013 Ford Fusion
- First Look: 2013 Ford Fusion
Ford's midsize star gets a bold design and thrifty new powertrains. For proof that Ford takes the midsize segment seriously, one need look no farther than the company's quality standards for the new 2013 Fusion sedan. Engineers benchmarked the Audi A6 for panel gaps and fitment, and Mercedes-Benz cars for interior materials quality. That attention to detail, along with a striking new design and fuel-efficient drivetrains, are designed to draw buyers out of other midsize sedans and into the Fusion. The new car bows at the Detroit auto show and goes on sale in the middle of 2012.

By Design: Ford Evos
- By Design: Ford Evos
By George, I think they've got it. Presenting the Evos at Frankfurt last September, Ford chief creative officer J Mays promised that the styling direction embodied in the attractive concept -- created by Ford of Europe -- would be seen in a production car in four months, just about time for the Detroit show. So perhaps there will be a really stunning mainstream Ford sedan for the first time in too many years. Not that any of the present One Ford models, from the tiny Fiat 500-based Ka in Europe, to Mazda-inspired Fiestas and Focuses, to Volvo-influenced Mondeos, to the almost-all-American Taurus, are bad. They're not. It's just that their styling is at best so-so.

Fast Family Haulers
- Fast Family Haulers
Seven unconventional choices to speed up the school run. Our vehicles may be getting collectively faster, but it would seem that the family man (or woman) who still has a taste for velocity has precious few choices. In a world where German car companies stuff 500-horsepower engines under the hoods of station wagons, it's a bit perplexing that there aren't any properly fast minivans.

First Look: 2013 Ford Escape
- First Look: 2013 Ford Escape
The attractive new crossover packs turbocharged engines and plenty of technology. With nearly two million units sold since its launch in 2001, the Ford Escape has undoubtedly been a smashing success for Ford. Seeing as the current model is Ford's second-best selling product (following the F-Series truck range, of course), it's critical that the 2013 Ford Escape, which makes its public debut at the Los Angeles auto show, is even more appealing to consumers than the outgoing product.

Can we tempt the “The Tonight Show” host, Conan O’Brien, to give up his 1992 Ford Taurus SHO for the 2010 model?
