How successful they are, and 32 years worth the wait? Join us as we see when we can transform the way tilt the machine back to full.

Interior
Mustang Boss 302 interior is more important for what it lacks rather than what they are doing. Of course, there is no stranger Mustang T-style dashboard, but it did not come to seek guidance from the built-in navigation system. Idem Satellite Radio press and we do not have a fleet of demonstrators. We also witnessed a distinct lack of Bluetooth devices, the items that we think is as important as oxygen for mammals for manual transmission cars. The Boss 302 is very Spartan, something that we can live with, but it is not fun for those who can actually buy this car. The Recaro seating options to be worth mentioning that both comfortable and very supportive, and is equipped with holes for the shoulder harness, although the use of non-permanent seat back looks like a bad idea.

Exterior

Ford Fusion Hybrid

The Ford Fusion Hybrid has the typical hybrid performance characteristics, at least on paper. The Fusion Hybrid is one of our favorite gas-electric vehicles to drive. Better yet, Fords innovative graphics and gauges egg drivers on to greener driving behavior. The Ford Fusion Hybrid gets its own 17-inch wheels, a standard 110-volt power outlet and recycled-material seats.

For 2011, the Ford Fusion Hybrid sees only a few minor standard equipment changes. Unlike hybrids that have gone before, the 2011 Fusion Hybrid is rewarding to drive thanks to relatively brisk acceleration and crisp handling.

Of course, the fundamental appeal of a hybrid car still remains within this Ford sedan. The EPA estimates youll get 41 mpg city and 36 mpg highway, which is considerably better than the numbers posted by other midsize hybrid sedans that compete with the Fusion Hybrid.

As with the regular Fusion, the hybrid also boasts a spacious, well-finished cabin loaded with thoughtful luxury features. Highlights of the latter include dual-zone automatic climate control, rear park assist and Fords superb Sync multimedia voice control system. As hybrid sedans go, the 2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid is certainly one of our favorites. The only other hybrid sedan wed recommend checking out is the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid. The 2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid is a midsize sedan available in a single trim level.

Standard equipment includes 17-inch alloy wheels, rear parking sensors, blind-spot mirrors, the My Key system (limits top speed and audio volume), a keyless-entry security code pad, automatic headlamps, fog lamps, cruise control, dual-zone automatic climate control, eight-way driver and six-way passenger power seats, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, eco-friendly cloth upholstery, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, a specialized gauge cluster, the Ford Sync electronics interface (includes voice commands, Bluetooth and iPod control) and a six-speaker sound system with CD/MP3 player, satellite radio and steering-wheel controls.

Safety
The 2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid comes standard with antilock disc brakes, stability and traction control, front-seat side airbags, side curtain airbags, My Key and rear parking sensors. A blind-spot warning system and rearview camera are optional. At the Edmunds test track, the Fusion Hybrid stopped from 60 mph in 126 feet, which is a short distance for a hybrid car on low-rolling-resistance tires.

The Ford Fusion Hybrid also earned four stars for rear side protection. The Fusion Hybrids high-quality cabin features abundant soft-touch materials, and the overall look is austere but attractive. The Fusion Hybrid gets a distinctive gauge cluster dubbed Smart Gauge, featuring a pair of color display screens flanking a traditional speedometer. Interior storage space is adequate, although trunk capacity is compromised by the cars battery pack, which is typical of hybrid sedans.

Driving Impressions
Other than the Altima Hybrid (which is only sold in 11 states) and the new Hyundai Sonata Hybrid, the 2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid is the most engaging hybrid sedan to drive; its a car, not just a transportation pod.

The 2011 Ford Fusion carries over largely unchanged from the 2010 Fusion, which underwent revisions inside and out and added the 41-mpg Ford Fusion Hybrid. Should you wait for the 2012 Ford Fusion or buy a 2011 Fusion? Buying a 2012 Fusion, however, places you just one model-year away from the anticipated all-new 2013 Fusion. Styling: There are no styling changes for the 2011 Ford Fusion. On 2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid models, the instrument cluster is interactive, animated by Ford’s EcoGuide. The 2011 Fusion SE and SEL models are again available with an optional 240-horsepower 3.0-liter V-6. All-wheel drive (AWD) is available on the 2011 Fusion SEL V-6 and Fusion Sport models. The 2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid again pairs the 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with an electric motor to generate the equivalent of 191 horsepower.

It is an icon: the Ford Mustang. But the party took place mainly on the other side of the ocean off. That will change soon.

The Ford Mustang is coming to Europe. Ford takes the iconic sports car here and that is good news for the fans. That fanatic there is clearly the number of copies using the gray import to this side of the Atlantic is achieved.

Ford has no release date or detailed specification of the European Mustang free but if we are still here in the U.S. then we can only be happy. The festival starts with the 3.7 V6 with 305 hp. With any luck, the 650-hp Shelby - with a V8 engine - this way but that is not certain.

Ford CEO Stephen Odell explains during the announcement of the European adventure of the brand Mustang why the "wise" decision has been taken: "If you saw what a great response the Mustang got this summer when he was seen at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in England and in the Le Mans Classic in France, then you know how much enthusiasm this American style icon throughout Europe loosens. The Ford Mustang is pure and has a lot of fans here in Europe. Who now have something to look forward to, as we look forward here soon about to tell. "

The 2012 Ford Taurus, depending on how its equipped, can play several different roles. At the base level, at about $26k, the Taurus is a big-car alternative to the likes of the V-6 HondaAccord or ChevroletMalibu. On the other hand, it could be a luxury rival to the BuickLaCrosse or ToyotaAvalon. And in top SHO guise, its a strong, tech-loaded 365-horsepower luxury performance sedan that can sticker at $45k or even higher.

From one of the front seats, the 2012 Taurus feels almost like a personal-luxury car. There are focused, defined areas for the driver and front passenger, with a wrap-around instrument panel design and a low, wide center console that firmly splits the driver and passenger sides (and actually, taking up a lot of space). The back seat is wide, with potential space for three adults, though legroom and headroom can be surprisingly tight, given theTaurus full-size exterior.

Faux-wood and chrome trim combine with good fit and finish to give it an upscale look and feel thats generally in sync with its price tag. Special badging, glossy black dash trim, and more metallic highlights inside and out help give the SHO more interior panache, while a trunklid spoiler, twin chrome exhaust tips, and different grille hint at the brawn.

The new Ford Taurus is powered by the automakers 3.5-liter V6 Duratec engine, mated to one of two available six-speed automatic transmissions, including SelectShift with shift paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel. As was the case with the previous model, all-wheel-drive is optional.

The V6 motor delivers an estimated 263 horsepower and 249 foot-pounds of torque. It earns a ULEV-II emissions certification and comes paired with a choice of two new six-speed automatic transmissions. The regular car is offered in SE and SEL trim levels. Ford also launched performance-oriented SHO EcoBoost model.

Critically, the new Taurus starts at $25,170 -- which is surprisingly slightly less than the prior model. The more uplevel SEL starts at $27,370 and the top-end Limited sets buyers back $31,770.
"Lightning can strike twice," said Peter Horbury, Fords North American design director. "Like the 1986 original, the newTaurus differentiates by combining style with substance."

Taurus features a long list of high-tech features, including: Adaptive Cruise Control with Collision Warning, Intelligent Access with Push Button Start, MyKey parental programmability, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Cross Traffic Alert, Rain-Sensing Wipers, EasyFuel capless refueling, Ford SYNC and Voice-Activated Navigation with SIRIUS Travel Link.

TheTaurus faces strong competition from a rejuvinately field of full-size sedans, including the stylish, rear-wheel-driveChrysler 300, the luxuriousBuick LaCrosse and the value-laden Hyundai Azera
