Think you have to break the bank if you want a fast car? Think again. A recent report from Forbes.com indicates there are a handful of affordable cars that race from 0-60 mph in under six seconds. Most of them running about one-third of the price of racers from Porsche and BMW.

Coming in at Number One on Forbes' "Fastest Cars Under $30,000" list, is the Ford Mustang GT Coupe. Fitted with a…

Among the most prestigious awards an automaker can earn, the Edison Awards are a tribute to Thomas Alva Edison's continuous pursuit of excellence and inspiration to drive America to the forefront of innovation, creativity, ingenuity, and global economy. This year... Ford cleaned up, walking away with three Golds and one Silver.

Within the category of Applied Technology, the American automakers won a Gold for their Rear Inflatable Seatbelts. Designed to inflate in the event…

Ford has just finished off one heck of a 2010 here in the States, with big sales increases and improved profitability. The same can apparently be said north of the border, as the Toronto Star notes that Big Blue has managed a 19 percent sales increase compared to 2009. Perhaps more impressive is the probability that Ford even trumped General Motors in Canadian sales for the first time in more than half a century. According…

We know... the suspense was killing us, too. We'll spare you the sleepless nights and get right to the list of America's best-selling cars and trucks for 2010:

1. Ford F-Series (528,349 +27.7%)	6. Honda Civic (260,218 +0.8%)
2. Chevrolet Silverado (370,135 +16.9%)	7. Nissan Altima (229,263 +12.6%)
3. Toyota Camry (327,804 -7.5%)	8. Ford Fusion (219,219 +21.3%)
4. Honda Accord?

According to Ward's Auto, Ford is about to stride past a production figure that it hasn't hit since 2004. The 2011 Fusion is on the cusp of motoring past 200,000 sales this year - an annual number that a FoMoCo passenger sedan hasn't managed to exceed since both the Focus sedan and Taurus did the deed back in '04. In 2010, Fusion sales were up 21.5 percent through November compared to…

Ford has been testing its upcoming 2012 Focus extensively, and it's already put the compact through 12,000 crashes in both the virtual and real worlds. Ford says that the Focus features advanced restraint systems as well as next-generation airbags that feature upgraded chest-protection technology. The C-Segment car is not stealing all the focus (*ahem*), however, because the all-new 2011 Explorer has clearly received plenty of attention from the safety engineers. For the first…

The 2012 Ford Focus is set to hit dealers early next year, and in addition to a cadre of standard and optional features, Ford is equipping every new Focus with its new breed of "torque vectoring control."

For the uninitiated, torque vectoring systems actively split power between the two driven wheels to maximize traction and increase performance. Some higher-end systems manipulate the output to each wheel through a set of electronically controlled gears, while others…
