Not to be outdone by the Chevy Camero, Ford went back and beefed up their Ford Mustang for 2011. One of the American classic automobiles, the Ford Mustang is an icon in the American auto industry.
When the latest incarnation of Chevy's Camaro was announced, in 2009 for model year 2010, the V6 had 304 horsepower and the V8 had 400 -- or 426 with a stick. At the time, the Ford Mustang had a paltry 210 in V6 trim, and 315 max for the V8. Would Ford match Chevy?
Of course. Development times being what they are (shorter than ever!), it took until just about… now! So, after some evolutionary changes last year -- refreshed styling and, most noteworthy, a much-improved interior, the Mustang's engine compartment gets the bulk of attention for 2011. The old 4.0-liter sohc V6 has been replaced by a new version of Ford's 3.7-liter engine, in which dual overhead cams and continuously-variable cam phasing on all help to make more power -- now 305 hp -- and improve fuel economy and lower emissions. Similar technology allows the all-now 5.0-liter V8 to make 412 horsepower, something not seen out of the old and completely-unrelated pushrod 5.0 without serious tuning work. For both engines, transmissions are six-speed whether manual or automatic, further improving performance and economy.

Alcohol and Driveing DO Mix?
Saw this title today and had to read the article. It is a clever title, but shocking at the same time. Clearly this isn't something like a promotion of drunken driving I assume from a common sense standpoint, but I had to read it anyways just to make sure obviously. Maybe it is just an elaborate green shopping promotion?
Take a look at the full article yourself and see if they really are intending for it to come off that way .
It actually does have way more to do with green energy, gasoline, and oil that it has to do with drunk driving, which it has nothing to do with.

2011 Ford Fiesta SEL Review
The Ford Fiesta has long been either goofy hatchback that you really didn't want to be seen in, or it was considered a good deal. the newest version of the Fiesta has not only become a very economical car fuel-wise, but it has done a little bit to become sleeker, but the big seller is the 36.3 MPG overall with 38 MPG on the highway. Having to sell used books just to buy gas for a trip home to con mom and dad for some cash has never gone further.
Ford is resurging, and one of the reasons for this is that its cars are good and make sense. Take the new Fiesta for example. The old Fiesta was a standard squareish hatchback with minimal performance and not-that-great economy. But oh, how the Ford designers and engineers have worked on this new one.
The 2011 Fiesta looks good, has decent performance (for an economy car) and knows how to behave itself, whether on an Interstate or suburban roads. full review
