2015 Ford Expedition Spy Shots

FLUSHING, Mich. - 2015 Ford Expedition spy shots have surfaced on the internet, as the camouflaged vehicle was seen driving around Michigan. Although the SUV's covering kept fine details under wraps, it was easy to see that the vehicle has undergone some changes.

Starting with the full-size SUV's exterior, it appears to have received a bigger chrome grille and a raised front fascia. The straight exhaust pipe on the rear end of the vehicle is new, as the current vehicle has a 90 degree angled pipe that releases on the passenger side.

The interior of the vehicle isn't expected to undergo a complete overhaul, however, there will be a few tweaks here and there. The center stack has been modernized, but with buttons and knobs instead of the touch-sensitive controls. Numerous Ford drivers expressed their preference for the buttons and knobs, so Ford took their opinions into account and reinstated them in the 2015 SUV. The steering wheel also looks to have received an update to accommodate the new interior design. We also spotted an engine stop-start system in this 2015 Ford Expedition prototype, so expect to see a hands-free keyless entry on the new model.

As for what's going on under the hood, the 2015 Ford Expedition is expected to receive a 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 engine. This updated engine would increase the current 310HP to 365, as well as improve the current EPA ratings significantly.

These 2015 Ford Expedition spy shots have us excited for the SUV's debut! Until then, stop by and check out the current model on our lot. With the holiday season rapidly approaching, the space that the Expedition offers would be perfect for hauling gifts or riding with family. So come on by and we'll set you up with a test drive!

2014 Ford Fiesta Is Most Fuel Efficient Non-Hybrid in the U.S.

2014 Ford Fiesta Is Most Fuel Efficient Non-Hybrid in the U.S.
FLUSHING, Mich. - Having recently won Women's World Car of the Year, the new Ford Fiesta is being celebrated once again - for its fuel efficiency! Ford has announced that the 2014 Ford Fiesta is the most fuel efficient non-hybrid in the U.S., with an outstanding EPA rating of 45 mpg on the highway.

2014 Ford Fiesta Is Most Fuel Efficient Non-Hybrid in the U.S.The reason behind this impressive rating is the subcompact car's 1-liter, three-cylinder EcoBoost engine that gets the Fiesta a combined 37 miles per gallon - 32 mpg in the city, 45 mpg on the highway. This makes the 2014 Ford Fiesta the most fuel efficient non-hybrid, gasoline-fueled car in the U.S.

Along with being fuel efficient, the tiny vehicle also packs a punch! The new 1-liter EcoBoost engine produces more 123 hp and 123 lb.-ft. of torque - pretty impressive for a small car!

If you're interested in this small but powerful sedan, it will be made available on our lot in December and is set to cost about $16,740. For more information, stop by our dealership today! We'd be more than happy to discuss your options, and see what kind of rebates we can find for you.

Leaked 2015 Ford Mustang Specs

Leaked 2015 Ford Mustang Specs
FLUSHING, Mich. - While Ford recently announced that they will debuting the 2015 Ford Mustang in December, pony car fans everywhere will rejoice because someone from Ford Motor Company has leaked the 2015 Ford Mustang specs.

Previously we mentioned that the 2015 Ford Mustang, although heavily camouflaged, seemed to have a front that was heavily influenced by the Evos concept and the 2014 Ford Mustang. Now however, the specs have confirmed that it is indeed smaller and a little sleeker than the previous model, but the shape comes from classic retro Mustang shapes and the recent Ford Fusion.

As for the powertrain - the part you've been waiting for - it has been confirmed that a four-cylinder model will return to the Mustang range, as a 310HP, direct-injection 2.3-liter unit. It'll be above the base six-cylinder unit but below the V8 engine. The V8 engine will produce 420HP and the V6 will put out 305HP.

Other changes to the pony car are expected, such as a weight loss of about 200 pounds; rear suspension is independent across the range; and a retro-styled interior.

While the leaked 2015 Ford Mustang specs give us a better idea of what to expect, the vehicle will still debut in December - four months before the 50th anniversary in April, as well as a couple weeks before the Detroit Auto Show in January 2014. To tie you over until then, stop by our dealership today and take a look at the 2014 Mustang. We also have an online 2014 Ford Mustang Brochure if you'd prefer to take a look at the pony car from the comfort of your own home. If you have any questions or comments about the Ford Mustang, don't hesitate to contact us - we're here to help!

50 years of Ford Mustang Color Favorites


50 years of Ford Mustang Color Favorites
FLUSHING, Mich. - Over the course of 50 years, a lot can change - new technology surfaces, fashion goes out of style, and people's tastes change. All of this is relevant for the Ford Mustang as it is about to celebrate its 50th anniversary. That is 5 decades of new technology, Mustang bodies, and colors. To celebrate five decades, here's a look at 50 years of Ford Mustang Color Favorites.

50 years of Ford Mustang Color Favorites

Starting in the 1960's, blue reigned supreme with nearly 30 percent of all Ford Mustangs in 1968 being produced with the understated color. This is especially impressive considering Ford offered six different shades at the time, blue being one of them.

As time progressed, Ford tried out unique hues such as green, yellow, and brown - all of which phased out pretty quickly due to unpopularity. In fact, brown was so unpopular that a Mustang has not been produced in the shade since 1989. However, Ford will occasionally bring back green and yellow as limited edition Mustangs such as the Bullitt and Boss 302.

50 years of Ford Mustang Color Favorites

On the subject of vibrant hues, Ford has also been known to introduce unexpected color options from time to time. This includes the hot playboy pink Mustang in 1967 and a color-shifting Mystichrome SVT Cobra in 2004. Today the Mustang has a 'Gotta Have It Green' option - an eclectic color that is sure to leave its mark on Ford Mustang color history.

50 years of Ford Mustang Color Favorites

50 years of Ford Mustang color favorites and red has revealed itself to be the all-time favorite of Mustang colors. In fact, 21 percent of all Mustangs ever sold have come in a red shade. However, black is the current best-selling Mustang exterior paint color, claiming 28 percent of all 2013 Mustangs sold.

If you'd like to see the color options for the current Ford Mustang, check out our 2014 Ford Mustang Brochure!

5 Pumpkin Carving Ideas

FLUSHING, Mich. - With Halloween right around the corner, pumpkins are taking center stage as millions across the country visit their local pumpkin patch and prepare to carve what they buy. Since we know you'll be getting into the spooky spirit by carving pumpkins, we've come up with 5 pumpkin carving ideas to help get you inspired!

1. Starting off easy, this is a great idea for those that would like to skip the carving altogether, but still have a cute pumpkin for decorating. Using paint, you can create a design that will be the envy of all trick-or-treaters! We love this black pumpkin with white lettering, but why not get creative and really let the paint fly? Not to mention, your pumpkin will last twice as long since you won't be hollowing out the inside.

5 Pumpkin Carving Ideas

2. Another 'cute' pumpkin idea is using a drill to create holes in whatever design you choose!

5 Pumpkin Carving Ideas

3. A pumpkin carving idea that is a little more advanced is the mummy! Cutting your pumpkin into slices, you'll need to stack them back together haphazardly to give the 'mummy' illusion. With this idea, you'll probably need a little bit of glue to hold your pieces together.

5 Pumpkin Carving Ideas

4. For a pumpkin carving idea that is a little more 'gross' than 'cute', this puking pumpkin is perfect! After carving the face, you'll need to pull some of the pumpkin's innards out through the 'mouth'. It's that easy!

5 Pumpkin Carving Ideas

5. For the pumpkin carvers looking for a challenge, try this pumpkin within a pumpkin! While the trickiest part of this will be getting the perfect size pumpkins, the rest is pretty simple. After it's all done, you'll have a creative pumpkin that neighbors, friends, and family will want to copy for next year!

5 Pumpkin Carving Ideas

These 5 pumpkin carving ideas should get you inspired to carve this Halloween. We recommend dipping your finished pumpkin in a bleach/water mixture to keep your creation fresh for as long as possible.

If you need a new ride to the pumpkin path, we're here to help! We've got a great selection of new, used, and certified pre-owned cars - so stop by and see us! We're located at 1510 E.

2015 Ford Mustang to Debut in December

2015 Ford Mustang to Debut in December
FLUSHING, Mich. - We recently reported that the 2015 Ford Mustang would be revealed at the 2014 New York Auto Show in April, as Ford would be celebrating the Mustang's 50th anniversary. Now however, Ford has announced that the 2015 Ford Mustang will debut in December - four months earlier than previously thought!

Whether or not this debut has anything to do with the fact that computer generated images (like the one above) of the 2015 pony car have surfaced, Ford has revealed that they will debut the Mustang to the public at the end of this year. A select group of journalists have already been chosen to view the new vehicle, however, all were asked to keep details of the Mustang quiet until the big reveal.

Few details have been released about the sixth-generation Mustang, so not much can be said about what to expect with updated car. However, we do know that the new Mustang will be smaller, lighter, and will get a brand new grill and headlights.  As for under the hood, the Mustang is believed to be getting a 3.0-liter V6 and 5.0-liter V8. A 2.3-liter EcoBoost I-4 will most likely be made available as well. Unfortunately, these are all guesses, as nothing has been confirmed by Ford.

Since the 2015 Ford Mustang will debut in December, we won't have to wait much longer for the actual specifics of the new pony car! Although the 2015 model won't be on dealer's lots until sometime next year, we do have a great selection of 2014 Ford Mustangs currently available for you to take for a spin! If you'd like to get behind the wheel of one of these great pony cars, stop by our dealership today. We'll gladly go over all the vehicle specifics with you, or set you up with a test drive.
