This week, at their proving grounds in Dearborn, Michigan, Ford announced the cars that will be manufactured for 2009, and made four new commitments. The press was invited to drive the cars, give their opinions about the new models, and then write about the event and the Ford-Lincoln-Mercury lineup. Drive Smart, Drive Safely, Drive Green, and Drive Quality are the areas Ford has committed to focus on for the coming year.
Featured was everything from compact, smaller vehicles like the Focus Coupe, Fusion, Escape, and Edge, to larger vehicles like the Flex, Explorer, Expedition, F-150 Truck and the 2009 E-Series. The sporty Mustang, attractive Mercury Milan, and the luxurious Lincoln MKZ, MKX, and Lincoln MKS gave the media an idea of Ford Motor’s goals for the coming year models.
