There's no denying that the Ford Shelby GT500 is one desirable vehicle. It's raw power and sleek style leads to a level of performance that we personally can't get enough of. But would you shell out $300,000 for one? We're guessing not. One driver did, however, and we here at Lindsay Ford of Wheaton are here to tell you why.

Specifically, the vehicle that we're speaking of isn't…

We here at Lindsay Ford of Wheaton love the Ford Escape. It's a reliable compact SUV that delivers in the realms of performance, fuel economy, and comfort like no other. Of course, that doesn't mean that Ford is ready to proclaim that the Escape is the most perfect vehicle on the road today. Quite the contrary. Ford knows that no matter how close they inch to automotive perfection, the more they'll need…

We here at Lindsay Ford of Wheaton will admit that there's quite a bit in this world that we likely take for granted. For example, when we consider what a truly precious resource is, water is not the first thing to come to mind. Still many people in the world go without clean drinking water, while Ford uses nearly 40,000 gallons of it to manufacture just one car. That's why we're…

If you're in the market to finance or lease a new car, and safety is your number-one priority when on the road, then we here at Lindsay Ford of Wheaton highly recommend checking out the Ford Fusion. The mid-size entry from Ford boasts a wide range of safety-driven tech, and the fact that its stylish, efficient, and affordable doesn't exactly hurt either. The Fusion is always available for a test drive simply by…

The end of the Ford Ranger is here. The American auto maker has discontinued the small truck, in favor of a hybrid F-150 in the works. Shoppers can still get into a Ranger at Lindsay Ford in Wheaton, MD.

Ranger was a larger pickup back in the 60's and 70's, and evolved into its current, small truck form in 1984. The vehicle hit its sales peak of 348,358 vehicles sold in 1999, beating out foreign competition. Ranger still offers a 4-cylinder engine that achieves 27 miles per gallon highway. This even beats out the top MPG rating…

The original Ford Taurus wasn't a boxy piece of metal when it came out in 1986, but a light, fiberglass car. It influenced many other companies to rethink vehicle design. Between 1986 and 2007, Ford has constructed 7,519,919 models. It has become the fifth best selling North American car in Ford's history; "only the F-150, Escort, Model T, and Mustang have sold more units."¹

During the mid 1990's, Taurus was named best selling US car four years running. Taurus also went through a major body styling update in the 90's.

Ford decided to…

Just in time for auto show season, Ford introduced its highly anticipated redesign, the 2013 Ford Escape. The new Escape was introduced to audiences at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Those attending LAAS were pleasantly surprised by a great number of updated models coming from Ford within the next few years.

If you can't wait for 2013, check out Lindsay Ford for the latest Escape models, along with all other quality vehicles by Ford. Some are willing to hold off for the next-gen CUV, and we certainly understand why.

Escape has been called the "Smarter Utility Vehicle" by some…

Ford is planning to officially unveil the new 2013 Ford Escape on November 16, but there is one very important feature we just can't wait to share with you. The 2013 Ford Escape will gain the industry's first-ever, hands-free liftgate operated by motion sensing technology.

Like gesture-reading video games, the SUV will automatically open with a simple kicking motion under the rear bumper. To close the liftgate, simply swing your leg under the bumper again.

This state-of-the-art feature will revolutionize drivers experience and perhaps even prevent a back sprain or two. Jason Spawka, Brand Manager, Ford Escape explains…

While Ford has recently confirmed that the 2013 Ford Escape won't be available with a hybrid power train; they're continuing to make strides in the reduction of their carbon footprint. The next-gen Escape lineup will get a complete make over, with sharper styling and more fuel-efficient engines, and even an additional twenty-five plastic drinking bottles.

Integrated into the carpet of each 2013 Ford Escape will be twenty-five twenty ounce plastic soda and water bottles. That might not seem like a lot in the scope of water-bottle consumption, but the Escape has been the second-best selling compact SUV for…

"Demand remains strong," according to US-Russia Ford CEO Ted Cannis, who took over last month and has seen a huge spike in vehicle sales. Sales of cars like Ford Explorer and Ford Transit Connect Van are so big, that the American auto maker is moving production of European variants of those vehicles over to Russia.¹

Sales of all vehicles in Russia have ranged from 2.6 to 2.7 million so far in 2011 - well above the Association of European Businesses prediction of 2.45 million. Between 2009 and October 2011, Russian vehicle sales have shot up over 30…
