Ford Fiesta Sportsvan: New Blend of Domestic and Commercial Features

Commercial transportation is usually associated with package trucks loaded with cargoes to be delivered from one point to the other. However the redesigned Ford Fiesta Sportsvan puts on a new style and design to commercial or business transportation machines. This time, the usual big and tall vans like those used by Federal Express, UPS and DHL, are blended with sporty features. The added features are meant not only for aesthetic purposes but for a much improved performance and functionality as well.

The new Ford Fiesta Sportsvan is equipped with a 1.6L Duratorq diesel engine with a capacity of 89 hp and 150 lbs-ft of torque. Giving back-up is a five-speed manual cog swapper. Housed by the muscular fender are 16-inch 12-spoke alloy wheels that go hand in hand with color-keyed body molding. Accentuating the aggressive looks are bigger front air intake, rear spoiler and fog lamps. I’m sure Ford Parts Online has these parts in stock in case the need arises for spares and replacements.

Of course the interiors also got several enhancements including the bolstered seats and sporty steering wheel. All in all, the new features transformed the Ford Fiesta into a versatile commercial vehicle not only as a sports van but a sport compact as well.

Kermit and Escape Hybrid At Extreme Makeover: Home Edition Tonight



The Ford Escape Hybrid is known for being a clean and lean machine that would be the solution to reducing harmful gas emissions. And who would be the best kind of partner and spokesperson for this vehicle? Well, there would be nobody greener than Kermit the Frog.



Well, if you are now a fan of this green and fun tandem, you can watch out for them tonight on ABC for they would actually be having a special appearance on the show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. This is because Ty Pennington, the host of the show, is presently in the Gulf States. Kermit the Frog would take over as host and he would then present the family whose house would be made over with a brand new Ford Escape Hybrid.



According to Barry Redler, the group marketing manager of Ford’s SUV division, says, “Kermit and the Escape Hybrid are the ultimate green team. This no-compromise SUV shows how easy it is being green and is the perfect fit for an active family like the Crafts.” The Crafts are the family who would be having their home made over and would also be receiving the new Escape Hybrid.



Kermit also had something to say, “The Crafts are a wonderful, big family, and Coach Craft is constantly busy coaching baseball, football, and girl’s basketball, so the family really needs the comfort and roominess of an SUV. But the family counts every penny so fuel savings are important. The Escape Hybrid gets 36 miles per gallon, making it the most fuel-efficient SUV on earth.”



This surely would be a fun episode. After all, it is about helping others out and being green at the same time. There are auto parts companies like Ford Parts Online that assist people in keeping their vehicles in tiptop shape without robbing them of their hard-earned dollar.

Ford Motors Bags IIHS Highest Crash Test Rating

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the highest rating to the 2007 Ford Sport Trac and the 2006 Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer frontal offset crash test. IIHS rated the models with five stars for frontal and side crash driver and passenger categories. Standard for the three Ford auto models are ten advanced Auto Parts Safety Technology and Ford Motor Company’s AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control. The all-new Ford Sport Trac also earned the highest crash ratings for the test conducted by the National Traffic Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The crash test rating can speak for the ability of the car to minimize injuries and fatalities in cases of accidents and collisions.

Ford Motors is pleased with the IIHS and NHTSA results considering their effort in mounting the ten advanced safety innovations to match the smooth and responsive driving capabilities of the cars. “Ford Motor Company is building on a legacy of introducing industry-first safety technologies that help provide increased protection in accidents,” added by Sue Chiske, vice president for Environmental and Safety Engineering. True indeed, Ford Motors is known for their innovativeness especially when it comes to the auto parts and accessories comprising their makes and models. You can have those parts for your Ford from Ford Parts Online. Among the Ford’s firsts in automotive technology are the hand-built steam and electric cars, the first moving assembly line and the first ethanol-fueled hybrid that combined hybrid electric power and flexible fuel capability.

The Roll Stability Control System used by the Sport Trac helps the driver in taking control of the car during extreme conditions. It automatically engages the necessary counter measures to reduce the possibility of dangerous rollovers. The classification system for the passenger’s seat provides easy operation of the air bag together with a horizontal stroking adaptive steering column for added safety.

The three vehicles are well-protected for side impact collision with standard side impact air bags for the front occupants and Safety Canopy side air curtains that can automatically deploy in the event of side impact collisions and rollovers.
