Ford is using Hollywood technology to help engineers

By employing the same motion-capture technology

that animators used to create such movies asAvatar,

Polar Express andLord of the Rings , Ford can run

thousands o tests to study how people o all shapes

and sizes interact with a variety o vehicle designs.

Test subjects outtted with up to 50 sensors perform

a series o movements which are recorded and used to

create digital humans who then enter, exit and operate

Sales

Hot December sales driveFords market share gainBy John Fossen

Strong U.S. salesin the nal month o

2009 helped propel

Ford to its rst ull-

year market share

increase since 1995.

Improvement in

every category cars, trucks and

crossovers and every brand boosted

the December sales o Ford, Lincoln

and Mercury vehicles 33 percent

versus a year ago.

Fords plan is working, said Ken

Czubay, vice president, Marketing,Sales and Service. Customer consid-

eration continues to grow or our

high-quality, uel-ecient vehicles.

The Ford Fusion (up 83 percent) and

Ford Escape (up 75 percent) posted

record December sales and Fusion also

notched a new ull-year sales record.

F-Series extended its string as the

countrys best-selling truck to 33

consecutive years, gaining market

share despite an overall decline in ull-

size pickup sales.

Ford Taurus sales increased a

whopping 110 percent in December

compared to year ago and Mustang

sales shot up 62 percent.

Lincoln sales were up more than 15

percent while Mercury sales increased

nearly 6 percent or the month.

December also marked the 14th

time in the last 15months that Ford

reported increased

retail share.

Every important

consumer metric about

the Ford brand nished

the year at a record high. For example,

avorable opinion increased more

than 20 percent rom the beginning o

2009, and intention to buy a Ford

vehicle grew by more than 30 percent.

We begin the (new) year with more

positive momentum than at any pointin the companys history, noted

Czubay. I we keep doing what were

doing, we should continue to benet

rom great products and growing

consumer consideration.

Quality

Bolstered by improved quality,uel economy and popularity,

Ford, Lincoln and Mercury

vehicles recorded the industrys

largest gain in resale values rom

the 2009 to 2010 model year.

The projected resale o Ford

vehicles increased by U.S. $1,310

per vehicle rom 2009 to 2010

models more than any other

ull-line manuacturer.

Ford already held a residual

value advantage over its U.S.-

based rivals and some Fordvehicles have now surpassed

competing vehicles rom Toyota in

average residual value.

The 2010 Ford Fusion is

expected to be worth $687 more

than the 2010 Toyota Camry ater

36 months in service while theresidual value o the 2010 Ford Flex

commands a premium o $1,800

over the Toyota Highlander.

A steady stream o new and

improved products has helped

boost Fords residual values.

For example, the redesigned

2010 Ford Taurus with its host o

new eatures and technologies has

a projected resale value ater three

years o $4,862 more than the 2009

Taurus.

The number was based on theaverage o all trim levels o each

nameplate rom ALGs January/

February 2010 Residual Value

Forecast with volume weighted

against R.L. Polk new vehicle

registration data.

Also, the 2010 Ford F-150earned the 2010 ALG Residual

Value Award in the ull-size

pickup category, and the 2010

Ford Taurus and 2010 Ford

F-Series Super Duty received

Kelley Blue Books kbb.com Best

Resale Value Awards or the ull-

size car and ull-size pickup

categories respectively.

Along with higher residual values,

Fords improved products and

brand image are translating into

higher shopping consideration.Compete, a Massachusetts rm

that studies online car shopping,

says Ford surpassed Toyota in

customer consideration last all

or the rst time since it began

tracking such data in 2002.

Starting at U.S. $13,995 and

available as a our-door sedan

and a ve-door hatchback,

the North American Fiestais the latest milestone in the

look or North America.

The sedan and hatchback

eature distinctly dierent grilles,

but both sport the global Ford ace

with a centered Blue Oval badge

and sweeping multi-element

headlamps above a trapezoidlower grille opening.

Inside, the 2011 Fiesta is as

A tilt and telescoping steering

wheel adds to driver comort,

as does an available moonroo.

Under the hood, a 1.6-liter

DOHC I-4 engine with Twin

Independent Variable Camshat

Timing (Ti-VCT) produces an

estimated 119 horsepower,

blending top uel economy and

pleasing perormance.

The engine is mated to a

standard ve-speed manual

North American industry-

exclusive six-speed PowerShit

automatic that delivers better

uel eciency than a manual shitor a traditional automatic.

The perormance and

driving dynamics o the

European model have been

preserved, said Steve Pintar,

chie engineer, Fiesta.

Performance preserved

The North American Fiesta

represents the best o our global

eorts. We built on the success o

the European Fiesta and are really

proud o how little has changed,

he said.While keeping the cars sporty,

European driving dynamics,

Fiesta was tweaked to meet U.S.

saety and emissions standards.

More than 50 percent of its

welded body structure is made

rom high-strength steel with

ultra-strong boron steel used in

several critical areas.

This provides best-in-class

occupant saety, enhanced by a

standard, class-exclusive

drivers knee air bag that

complements the dual-stage

ront-row air bags, side air bags

and side curtain air bags seven

in all. The knee bag is another

eature not available in the Fit,

Versa or Yaris or the larger

Corolla, Civic or Sentra.

AdvanceTrac with ESC

(Electronic Stability Control) is

standard on the new Fiesta,

adding to its nimble,

sureootedness.

The North American Fiesta also

oers a new level o quietness in

its segment, aided by a class-

exclusive specially laminatedwindshield to absorb and contain

noise plus special sound-

absorbent oam and padding

used throughout.

Like Fiestas cloth seat inserts,

much o the sound absorbent

material is made rom recycled

content.

Other industry or class-

exclusive eatures include the

Ford SYNC voice-activated

communications and

entertainment system, keylessentry, push button start plus the

standard EasyFuel Capless

Fuel-Filler System.

Besides being subjected

to more than 550 component

and system lab tests to veriy

durability, unctionality,

Smart

As customers demand morein-car connectivity, more options

and more inormation in their

vehicles, MyFord driver connect

technology will pioneer the next-

generation vehicle experience.

Designed to be powerul yet intu-

itive or all drivers, MyFord blends

the strengths o proven consumer

electronics interaces including

MP3 players and mobile phones

with a new generation o Fords

award-winning SYNCsystem.

Unveiled this month at theannual Consumer Electronics

Show (CES), MyFord, along with

MyLincoln and MyMercury,

launches vehicle interiors into the

realm o such popular personal

electronics as laptop computers,

cell phones, digital cameras and

MP3 players.

A new generation o Fords

popular SYNC system controls the

unctionality behind MyFord and

helps provide a saer, smarter way

to connect drivers with in-car

technologies.

While oering more, MyFord

also makes it easier than ever to

access all thistechnology

through voice

control, ve-way buttons on the

steering wheel and an 8-inch

touch screen that controls the

in-car phone, entertainment,

navigation and climate controls.

In so doing, MyFord replaces

many o the traditional vehicle

buttons, knobs and gauges with

clear, colorul LCD screens and

ve-way buttons. The screens can

be personalized or two driverswith a simple voice command,

button click or touch screen tap.

Placed naturally or a drivers

thumbs, the ve-way smart

buttons on the steering wheel

mimic the controls o common

consumer electronics and allow

easy access to commands and

unctions.

MyFord Touch and MyLincoln

Touch also oer two 4.2-inch LCD

instrument panel screens fanking

the speedometer to provide

inormation to the driver at a

glance. Each can be adjusted and

personalized using the ve-way

controllers on thesteering wheel.

The let display

provides driver assist and vehicle

settings, gauge unctions plus tem

perature and measurement while

the right displays the settings or

audio, climate control, phone com

munications and navigation

menus.

While duplicating the inorma-

tion available on the central 8-inc

screen, this smaller screen also

can oer dierent inormation sothat it can display a song choice

while the larger screen shows a

navigation map, or example.

In addition, the 8-inch home

screen also can be individually

personalized or two dierent

drivers, as can the one-touch

climate control and other setting

The 8-inch screen is central to

the MyFord Touch experience.

Each corner o the screen allows

access to one o our categories

phone, entertainment, navigatio

and climate control and all o

their unctions.

For many centerstack media

and climate controls, MyFord use

touch-sensitive technology, whic

means there are no true buttons t

push a tap or swipe o the nger

does the job while an audio beep

conrms the activation.

MyFord also allows selected us

settings to be programmed to

individual car keys or downloadeto a USB drive or export into

another MyFord-equipped vehicl

As an upgrade to the new

system, MyFord Touch with

Sony adds premium audio, a

Sony-designed electronic nish

panel in high-gloss black, a

multiunction Sony controller dia

and a unique treatment on the

touch-control buttons.

The sleek, stylish and sporty

our-door sedan and ve-door

hatchback will begin production

in late 2010 in Europe and North

America with market launches inearly 2011. Launches in Asia, Arica

and South America will ollow.

The new Focus will be nearly

identical in all markets, with 80

percent common parts used

around the world. Dierences will

be mainly driven by local

standards and regulations.

The new Ford Focus is a clear

demonstration that our ONE Ford

strategy is providing global

consumers with great products

that harness the best o Ford

Motor Company, said Alan

Mulally, president and CEO,

Ford Motor Company.

Up to 10 new models will be built

on the new global C-segment

platorm, which replaces three

separate platorms currently in

production. By 2012, the new

platorm will generate sales o

more than 2 million units

worldwide. About hal o thosewill be models o the Focus, which

will be sold in 122 countries.

The eciencies generated by

our new global C-car platorm will

enable us to provide Ford Focus

customers with an aordable prod-

uct oering quality, uel eciency,

saety and technology beyond their

expectations, said Mulally.

Thats because customers

around the world want smaller

cars with outstanding uel

economy plus the style,

technology, connectivity and

driving quality o larger

vehicles, explained Derrick

Kuzak, group vice president,

Global Product Development.

Led by the exciting new

Focus, our next generation o

C-cars will clearly show that

Ford is ready to meet that

challenge now, he said.

With its small car design

experience and engineering

talent, Ford o Europe led the

global development program on

the next Focus, making sure to

keep the cars agile, responsive

driving quality.

Next, more than a year ago,

teams o engineers, manuacturin

specialists and assembly

employees gathered in ront ohuge computer screens in North

America, Europe and Asia.

Taking advantage o rapid

advancements in virtual

manuacturing technology, the

worldwide team built the rst car

virtually piece by piece, operation

by operation, right down to its

high-quality, high-tech paint nis

An important step

Building that very rst new

Focus on the computer was an

important step in Fords new

global manuacturing capability.

Assembly plants around the

world will now build next-

generation global Ford vehicles

using shared processes, tools and

technologies a move that will

allow more common parts to be

used along with major strides in

economies o scale and

Spearheaded by an unprecedented

global development program, the

next-generation Ford Focus made its

worldwide debut at the North American

International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit.

advancements in quality.

It was an exciting moment, said

Bruce Hettle, executive director,

Global Manuacturing. We built the

car part by part, rom start to nish,

rom the rst part o sheet metal.

Along the way, teams at each

plant studied the virtual car and

conrmed that they would be able

to do what was required.

And it wasnt just engineers

and executives. It was also the

people who will build the cars on

the plant foor, said Hettle.

Calling on experience gained

during the creation o the new Ford

Fiesta, the global teams in Germany,

England and Dearborn, Mich.,

brought their areas o expertise to

the project, engineering a vehicle to

meet customer and governmental

requirements in the major markets

right rom the start.

Under the lights at the 2010

NAIAS, the new our-door sedan

and ve-door hatchback mark the

next evolution o Fords acclaimed

kinetic design language which

has made the Fiesta such a

worldwide hit.

The design approach uses bold

lines and shapes to capture the

eeling o energy so the cars look

like theyre moving, even when

standing still.

Inside, the new Focus reveals an

extremely modern, cockpit-style

interior, with the stylish console

curving around the driver and

providing easy access to the cars

major controls and display panels.

Cratsmanship shows in the

sculptured shape o the sot-touch

instrument panel and the choice o

superior trim materials that give

occupants the eeling they are

traveling in a premium-class car.

Developed to be best-in-class or

interior quietness, the new Focus

is designed to oer the reduced

cabin noise o competitors in the

larger C/D segment.

Advanced technology

The cars advanced technology,

including MyFord (see story, page 8),

and available saety and convenience

eatures, complete the package.Under the skin, the new North

American Focus has been

designed to oer unmatched

driving quality with chassis,

suspension and steering upgrades,

a new 2.0-liter gasoline engine and

the latest six-speed PowerShit

automatic transmission.

High-strength steels and other

materials help the Focus meet the

most stringent crash legislation in

Europe and North America, while

minimizing weight.

Ford also will oer the Focus

Electric, a ull, zero-emissions

electric vehicle in 2011. The Focus

Electric will be Fords rst all-

electric passenger vehicle.

Initial Focus production will be

at the Michigan Assembly Plant in

Wayne, Mich., and in Germany

and China.

Continuing the brands

momentum, the new Lincoln MKX

has been dramatically reshenedor 2011 and packed with industry-

leading technology and

unmatched luxury.

The MKX sports a rereshed

exterior that begins with Lincolns

signature split-wing grille, arches

over the ront wheels and leads to

a distinctive taillamp treatment

with LED illumination.

The vehicle itsel touches down

on new 18- and available 20-inch

wheels that use undulating, complex

shapes to appear always in motion.

But its under the skin and inside

that Lincolns latest star really shines.

Leading o is the

rst application o

technology, which opens a new

era in how customers interact withmedia and vehicle technology.

Standard on the 2011 MKX,

MyLincoln Touch delivers unprec-

edented levels o intuitive interac-

This technology is wrapped in

an all-new interior that refects

Lincoln luxury,

cratsmanship

and execution.

Fine details

abound, rom

genuine

stitching on the door panels and

sliding console lids

to an available heated, leather-

wrapped steering wheel andavailable olive wood or walnut

swirl interior accents.

More absorptive sound materials

and acoustic glass in the windshield

and ront door glass provide a ride

quieter than Audi or Lexus, accord-

ing to preliminary data.

Everything about the 2011

Lincoln MKX is vibrant and

luxurious. It delivers a total driving

experience not ound anywhere

else, said Elaine Bannon, chie

nameplate engineer, MKX.

The MKXs ride also is more

responsive, engaging and

condent, thanks to retuned

chassis components and

increased stopping power.

A 305 horsepower, 3.7-liter

Duratec V-6 oers best-in-class

power and torque versus all V-6

competitors with an unsurpassed

fuel economy of 25 mpg highway

on regular uel. The advanced

engine is mated to a six-speed

NAIAS 2010

That rumble you hear? Its the2011 Ford Mustang GT, back with

an all-new advanced 5.0-liter V-8

engine.

Unveiled at the North American

International Auto Show, the 5.0-

liter V-8 pumps out a class-leading

412 horsepower with a projected

(and unsurpassed) 25 mpg highway,

continuing the powertrain

oensive that includes Mustangs

all-new 305-horsepower V-6.

Like that engine, the new our-

valve V-8 sports Twin Independent

Variable CamshatTiming (Ti-VCT) to help it

deliver the goods with improved

drivability and uel economy over

the 2010 Mustang GT powertrain.

This powertrain honors

Mustangs heritage by raising the

bar on perormance while

increasing uel economy. For

enthusiasts, its like having your

cake and eating it, too, said Barb

Samardzich, vice president,

Powertrain Engineering.

Besides its 412 horsepower and390 ft.-lb. of torque, the new

engine is designed or high-rpm

use while oering the convenience

o 10,000-mile oil change intervals.

The six-speed automatic

transmission in the 2011 Mustang

GT will deliver up to an estimated

25 mpg highway and 17 in the city,

1 mpg higher in both cases than

with the six-

speed manual.

For 2011, the Mustang GT adds

specially tuned Electric Power

Assist Steering (EPAS) for

improved driving dynamics plus

11.5-inch front and 11.8-inch rear

vented disc brakes and an

enhanced rear suspension.

The new Mustang GT also will

offer 5.0 fender badges, a newengine cover, a standard message

center, integrated blind spot mir-

rors, the MyKey programmable

vehicle key

and other new

interior eatures,

including those

designed to cut

road noise.

The 2011 Ford Mustang will

oer a brand-new, high-tech,

305-horsepower V-6 engine mated

to a six-speed automatic

transmission that delivers a

projected 30 mpg on the highway.

The all-aluminum 3.7-liter

Duratec DOHC engine uses

Ti-VCT to deliver signicantlymore power and torque to the rear

wheels, despite its smaller

displacement.

Everything people love about

the car is still there and now, under

the hood, is a V-6 that uses premium

technology to deliver the power,

the eel, the uel eciency and even

the sound o the best sports coupes

in the world, said Derrick Kuzak,

group vice president, Global

Product Development.

About that sound: Engineers

worked to ensure that the right

high-perormance sound comes

rom the new engine, rom intake

to its dual exhausts.

The new engine upgrades

Mustangs V-6 oering and edgesout a comparable Chevrolet

Camaro, in both horsepower and

uel economy.

Revealed at the Los Angeles

Auto Show, the 2011 Mustang

also will oer an all-new six-speed

manual gearbox package that

delivers 29 mpg highway, more

than 10 percent better than the

2010 model.

Outside the hood, the 2011

Mustang comes with aerodynamic

improvements including a new

ront ascia, the new EPAS system

and chassis enhancements.All V-6 models will come

standard with new instrument

cluster graphics, a standard

drivers message center,

integrated blind-spot mirrors,

additional soundproong and a

stable ull o other eatures.

An optional V-6 perormance

package will be available late next

summer.

History

While the just-introduced FordFocus has been called a global

car or its worldwide reach and

production, the idea is nothing

new or Ford.

Back in 1908, Henry Ford

launched an aordable vehicle

that would dominate the global

automotive market, change the

physical landscape and extend

personal transportation to the

masses the Ford Model T.

Ford called it The Universal

Car while others came to call itThe Car that Changed the World.

At the time o its launch, Ford

had a ew sales branches in the

U.S. and ewer still around the

world. Only one other Ford com-

pany had been incorporated, Ford

o Canada.By the end o the Ts

production 19 years later,

Fords corporate oot-

print had spread to every

corner o the globe.

The statistics surrounding the

sale and production o the Model T

are astounding.

By 1921, Model T represented 57

percent o worldwide auto

production and it was assembled

in 28 plants outside the United

States, on ve dierent continents.By the end o production in 1927,

sales o the Model T had eclipsed

the 15 million mark worldwide.

The Model T carried gear and

participants on a trip through India

by King George V o England; it

was driven across

the Gobi Desert; transported

Spanish toreadors to and rom

bull ghts in Valencia and carried

travelers to the pyramids in Egypt.

This global reach

led a panel o 126

automotive expertsfrom 32 countries

in 1999 to choose

the Model T as

the most infuential

car o the 20th

century.

The irst global caralso was a FordBy Jamie Myler

Faithful steedIts one thing when a Built Ford

Tough truck rolls past 500,000 miles.

Now, Marty Babbitts green 2000

Mustang has passed that milestone.

The car, a V-6 with standard shit, has

rolled up a hal-million miles thanks to

Babbitts commute 103 miles from his

Lansing home to his job as a pipetter

at the Van Dyke Transmission Plant in

Sterling Heights, Mich.

Its incredible. Except or plugs and oil, nothings been touched on the motor. Even the

exhaust is original, said Babbitt, who bought the car new shortly ater starting at Ford.

They built a good one when they built this one, he said.

High-octane truthFormer ad man Peter DeLorenzo

publishes the weekly Internet magazine

Autoextremist.com, which promises

the bare-knuckled, unvarnished, high-

octane truth about the auto industry.

Looking back over the most tumultuous

12 months in the history o the automobile busi-ness in this country, the veteran observer took

time out to honorBill FordandAlan Mulallyor

their leadership at Ford in his Nov. 25 column.

Though daunting challenges lie ahead,

Ford now stands alone as the last authentic

American car company with tremendously

competitive products already on the ground

and a slew o sensational products on the

way, said De Lorenzo.

Thats not extreme its just good business.

If you want hybridperformance in abigger, more practicalcar with conventionallooks and a big trunk,

the Ford Fusion is thebest alternative.

Jonathan Welsh,

The Wall Street Journal

The MKT is thefirst Lincoln withtechnology, comfortand sophistication

that surpasses

competitors fromAcura, Audi, BMW,Mercedes-Benz and

Volvo.

Mark Phelan,

Detroit Free Press

Pound for pound, the2010 Ford MustangGT is the bestmodern muscle car

that money can buy.

Years ago, Robert Hightput in a lot o miles driving a truck beore

behind the wheel o Auto Club Ford Mustang owned by John Force Racin

The victory came on the heels o a rustrating season in which his wa

the last car to qualiy or the countdown to the championship.

What really is the coolest is that John Force took a chance on a

guy rom northern Caliornia who had never driven anything but a

Ford F-150 truck and he has given me this opportunity, said Hight,

ater the victory.

Fade to black, roll the credits.
