An excellent and new way of rewarding smart and safety savvy consumers, BCAA introduced a 5% discount on collision premiums for vehicles with Electronic Stability Control (ESC). So now driving a Ford or Lincoln can immediately save you money!
Ford’s comfort conscious and customer centered designs have been noticed, and not just by you! Ford is the only brand to win multiple awards in the 2009 competition for Ward’s Interiors of the Year.
The Ford Flex captured best interior for its flexible six passenger seating, high-quality materials and the easily accessible (and just as comfortable as the first and second row seats) third row.
The SmartGauge with EcoGuide digital instrument cluster earned the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid a special achievement award from Ward’s Autoworld Magazine’s editors for Best Graphic Display.
The Canadian Automobile Association has chosen Ford of Canada as the recipient of its two annual Pyramid Awards. This is the first time in their award history that the same company has received both CAA awards in the same year.
The first award, the CAA Pyramid for Safety, went to Ford of Canada for its newly developed Blind Spot Mirror. The Blind Spot Mirror improves driver visibility on both sides of the vehicle when making a lane change or when parallel parking. It’s an affordable mirror technology that will find its way onto many future Ford and Lincoln vehicles as standard equipment.
The second award, the CAA Pyramid for Environmental Initiative, was awarded to the automaker for a new vehicle seat with a fabric made with 100 percent recycled materials.
Today, America’s best-selling pickup adds one of the industry’s most prestigious honors to its trophy shelf: Motor Trend has named the new Ford F-150 its 2009 Truck of the Year.
To earn this coveted award, the 2009 F-150 outperformed other full-size pickups in rigorous tests that evaluated engineering, technology, design, safety, dynamics, performance, build quality and value. Motor Trend’s editors put each truck through the same kind of punishing treatment that core truck customers do – and the 2009 F-150 showed them why it has no rival.
