Portland Auto Dealer: Buckle Up For The 2012 Ford Focus ST!
Since the 2012 Ford Focus has now been revealed to the world, you’ve probably noticed it making headline
s left and right.
What you might not have heard of, however, is the upcoming 2012 Ford Focus ST. Motor Trend recently got a surface-level glimpse of what’s to come with the ST model, snapping photos during Ford’s recent performance testing.
While conclusions are fairly slim at this point, we have lots to look forward to. The models that were spotted, which were figured to be stock models, included a thin metal pipe for the ST-exclusive center exhaust, smoky gray rims, and a sleek exterior design. The upcoming model also promises to have impressive performance, sporting a 2.4-liter, 4-cylinder EcoBoost engine which Motor Trend estimates will yield approximately 250 horsepower.
We look forward to its reveal as Ford continues testing!
Portland Auto Dealer: One Car Fan Makes His 1932 Ford Hot Rod Dream Come True
For any true car enthusiast, tearing up some pavement in a 1932 Ford Roadster would be a dream come true.
This was the motivation for Ken Gross to build his own Roadster from the ground up. As Automobile Magazine reports in their feature on the hot rod, Gross began dreaming about his ideal roadster in 1956 while still a high school student.
Gross made many modern adjustments to make his vehicle street-worthy and used parts that are meant to last. For example, he swapped the traditional 59A engine block for a military 59Z version which is made of stronger iron. The car also features alloy wheels, hidden electronics and a manual spark advance for the engine. The result is a strong, immaculate-looking hot rod that anyone would be proud of!
It took four decades before Gross acquired all the pieces needed to achieve his dream roadster, but he did it.

Portland Auto Dealer: The Well-Designed 2012 Ford Focus Proves to be a Truly Global Car
Industry professionals and car enthusiasts alike have been anticipating the day when Ford would make its C1 platform available in America. That day has finally arrived and the wait is over, with the introduction of the 2012 Ford Focus Titanium.
According to a recent Auto Blog review, the somewhat skeptical editors were impressed with its overall design, handling, power and fuel-efficiency. The test model was equipped with the Titanium Handling Package, which delivered sharp turns and quick response with an impressive EPA fuel economy of 27/37 MPG. The new design also earned major points when onlookers stopped to inquire about the vehicle as editors gave it a routine post-test wash.

Portland Auto Dealer: The Ford 2.0 GDI is More Than Your Average Engine
With all the attention and hype surrounding electrics, hybrids, and clean diesel, it’s no surprise that the media has overlooked
Ford’s engine of the future.
As Motor Trend reports, the 2.0 GDI engine (which is featured in the 2012 Ford Focus) is naturally aspirated with gas direct-injection. This is a first for Ford, who is equally thrilled about the GDI as the highly anticipated EcoBoost engine.
In addition to upgrading “everything”, Ford I-4 engine program manager Scott Markowski describes the engine design as all-aluminum with a stainless steel fuel rail on the side of the cylinder. Its high-pressure solenoid injectors have the ability to pump 2200 to 2800 psi, compared to 600-700 psi for the typical port fuel injection system.
So what does this mean for your adventure on the road? For starters, you’ll experience 160 horsepower at 6500 rpm and 146 foot-pound at 4450 rpm. If that’s not enough, the 2012 Focus achieves 40 highway MPG, making it a tremendous value.
Stay tuned for updates on 2012 model inventory!

Portland Auto Dealer: The Ford Mustang GT Convertible is Still Ruling the Road
With the Ford Mustang, one thing hasn’t changed with time – it is still one of the hottest sport vehicles on the market. In a recent Auto Guide review, one editor compared the new 2011 Mustang GT with his original 1987 version and found vast improvements in all categories, making it still one of the best rides on the road.
Other than its classic design, the Mustang’s main attraction is raw power. The new GT boasts a 5.0-liter V8, the first 5.0-liter engine to power a Mustang since 1995 and with nearly 100 more horsepower than last year’s model, the 2011 GT is setting the standard for vehicles in its class. Fuel efficiency is also increased over last year’s model and the entire outfit uses high-tech American aluminum instead of the iron of yesteryear.
On the road, this GT Convertible feels solid as a bank vault. No squeaks, no rattles, and less chassis flex or cowl shake than the new Mercedes E-Class, or BMW convertibles. – Ken Glassman for Auto Guide
