2017 Ford Focus Engine One of the 10 Best
It’s no secret that the 2017 Ford Focus boasts a powerful, efficient engine under the hood.

And we’re not the only ones to take note of the Ford model and its engine—the editors at WardsAuto were so impressed that they named the 2.3-liter EcoBoost I-4 engine to their 2017 list of the 10 Best Engines.

It’s not even the new year yet, and already the 2017 Ford F-150 is garnering awards, accolades, and titles. Kelley Blue Book recently announced the results of a year of testing and expert evaluation of almost every new vehicle in the country. After analyzing everything from pricing and customer satisfaction, 5-Year Costs to Own, model quality, and more, they were ready to announce the Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Awards for the coming year.

Why Buy a Used Ford Truck or Car?
Here at your Louisville area Ford dealership, we tend to get excited about the new Ford vehicles coming onto the market. But we also know that for many drivers in Shelbyville, used Ford cars are a much better option than new. Luckily, we’ve got you covered there as well! There are a variety of reasons a used Ford truck or car might be a better choice for you. For starters, you won’t have to worry about that instant depreciation when you drive off the lot – used cars don’t lose much value just because they’re going to a new home. And, of course, there are the cost savings. There’s no denying that a used Ford truck will run you less than a brand new 2017 Ford F-150. This gives you a chance to get a great car that you might not be able to afford new.

Ford Mustang Makes a Splash in Europe
The Ford Mustang recently made the jump across the ocean with the all-new version of the iconic model debuting in Europe. Over 21,000 Ford Mustang units have been sold in Europe, and there are two countries in particular that have really taken to the model. Over half of the Ford Mustang European sales were accounted for by Britain and Germany – perhaps not the likeliest countries to have fallen hard for an American muscle car, although anyone who has driven the newest Ford Mustang can understand the appeal.
