Ford Grill Guard.

One electric vehicle on the market that has been frequently overlooked was also the first: the Ford Transit Connect electric van. That was probably because it only came as a cargo van, with only two front seats. Well, that’s about to change.
Ahead of the LA Auto Show, Azure Dynamics, the company that converts the standard Transit Connect to battery power for Ford, announced it will build a new five-passenger version of the van, complete with rear side windows.
Like the cargo version, the passenger Transit Connect will be aimed at commercial customers. But that doesn’t mean that ordinary consumers looking for a larger electric car than the Nissan Leaf couldn’t buy one.
Ford is known throughout the industry for building all-American machines that can take a beating and still come out of it looking pretty. But there’s one exception: leaving the front-end vulnerable is not always a great idea, especially when you take pride in your investment. There’s just too much out there than can cause harm. That’s why Ford Grille Guards at CARiD are so important. With a Ford Grill Guard, your vehicle has its own personal protection locked on in the front for more driving confidence than ever before.

Ford Fiesta ST.

Ford Motor Company has a long history of building successful hot hatchbacks. Soon to join the ranks of such icons like the Cosworth Escort and Focus RS could be the next hot-rod Fiesta, the ST. Unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the Ford Fiesta ST Concept hits at the upcoming line of high performance small cars to come out of the blue oval. “The Fiesta has a rich history of high-performance models so a new ST performance model is a logical next step in our performance vehicle strategy for our global small cars,” said Derrick Kuzak, Ford group vice president, Global Product Development.
Under the hood of the concept is the 1.6 liter version of Ford’s EcoBoost turbocharged inline four cylinder. Using variable cam timing, direct injection and a single turbocharger, the ST makes a stout 178 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque. Matched to a six speed manual transmission and front wheel drive, 62 mph can be achieved in less than seven seconds. In a straight line, the Fiesta ST will officially be a hot hatch.

On the outside, the ST looks the part as the body lines have been tweaked and sculpted. New is the large, “trapezoidal” grille with a honeycomb mesh finish. The rear bumper features a functional diffuser with dual exhaust and everything is lower than the standard Fiesta. 17 inch wheels round out the ST, which manages to pay homage to both its rally car cousin, the Fiesta WRC, and its big brother, the Focus ST.
“The Fiesta ST Concept shows in the most dramatic way possible that the qualities that define an ST are not limited to one model. The potential for delivering the ST experience to an even wider audience are laid bare by this striking new concept,” said Jost Capito, Ford’s director of Global Performance Vehicles.
