Ford vehicles worth more

in industry’s largest gain
By Chris Rahi Kassab

Bolstered by improved quality,
fuel economy and popularity,
Ford, Lincoln and Mercury
vehicles recorded the industry’s
largest gain in resale values from
the 2009 to 2010 model year.
The projected resale of Ford
vehicles increased by U.S. $1,310
per vehicle from 2009 to 2010
models – more than any other
full-line manufacturer.
Ford already held a residual
value advantage over its U.S.-
based rivals and some Ford
vehicles have now surpassed
competing vehicles from Toyota in
average residual value.
The 2010 Ford Fusion is
expected to be worth $687 more
than the 2010 Toyota Camry after
36 months in service while the
residual value of the 2010 Ford Flex
commands a premium of $1,800
over the Toyota Highlander.
A steady stream of new and
improved products has helped
boost Ford’s residual values.
For example, the redesigned
2010 Ford Taurus with its host of
new features and technologies has
a projected resale value after three
years of $4,862 more than the 2009
Taurus.
The number was based on the
average of all trim levels of each
nameplate from ALG’s January/
February 2010 Residual Value
Forecast with volume weighted
against R.L. Polk new vehicle
registration data.
Also, the 2010 Ford F-150 The 2010 Ford
earned the “2010 ALG Residual Taurus has a
Value Award” in the full-size projected resale
value of $4,800
pickup category, and the 2010 more than the
Ford Taurus and 2010 Ford 2009 model.
F-Series Super Duty received
Kelley Blue Book’s kbb.com “Best
Resale Value Awards” for the full-
size car and full-size pickup
categories respectively.
Along with higher residual values,
Ford’s improved products and
brand image are translating into
higher shopping consideration.
Compete, a Massachusetts firm
that studies online car shopping,
says Ford surpassed Toyota in
customer consideration last fall –
for the first time since it began
tracking such data in 2002.

 Product
Along with delivering great looks and
fuel economy, the 2011 Ford Fiesta aims
to set a new small-car benchmark for
safety, connectivity and technology
when it arrives in North American
showrooms this summer.
Introduced at the Los Angeles
Auto Show, the 2011 Fiesta will
offer North American buyers a
stylish new choice of 15 class-
leading exclusive technologies
– including a driver’s side knee
air bag – plus projected fuel
economy of 40 mpg, which
bests the Honda Fit or Civic,
the Nissan Versa or Sentra and
the Toyota Yaris or Corolla.
Starting at U.S. $13,995 and
available as a four-door sedan
and a five-door hatchback,
the North American Fiesta
is the latest milestone in the
ONE Ford plan to design and
develop vehicles that meet the
needs and wants of customers
around the world.
Fiesta is a globally proven
nameplate – with more than
500,000 of the vehicles already
sold to customers in Europe
and Asia.

2011 Ford Fiesta

a cool design –
and personality
Using the global kinetic design
language of the European Fiesta,
which debuted in fall 2008 and the
Asian model which debuted last
spring, the new Fiesta hones the
look for North America.
The sedan and hatchback
feature distinctly different grilles,
but both sport the global Ford face
with a centered Blue Oval badge
and sweeping multi-element
headlamps above a trapezoid
lower grille opening.

A tilt and telescoping steering
wheel adds to driver comfort,
as does an available moonroof.
Under the hood, a 1.6-liter
DOHC I-4 engine with Twin
Independent Variable Camshaft
Timing (Ti-VCT) produces an
estimated 119 horsepower,
blending top fuel economy and
pleasing performance.
The engine is mated to a
standard five-speed manual
transmission or an all-new,
North American industry-
exclusive six-speed PowerShift
automatic that delivers better
fuel efficiency than a manual shift
or a traditional automatic.
“The performance and
driving dynamics of the
European model have been
preserved,” said Steve Pintar,
chief engineer, Fiesta.
Performance preserved
“The North American Fiesta
represents the best of our global
efforts. We built on the success of
the European Fiesta and are really
proud of how little has changed,”
he said.
While keeping the car’s sporty,
European driving dynamics,
Fiesta was tweaked to meet U.S.
safety and emissions standards.
More than 50 percent of its
welded body structure is made
from high-strength steel with
ultra-strong boron steel used in
several critical areas.
This provides best-in-class
occupant safety, enhanced by a
standard, class-exclusive
driver’s knee air bag that
complements the dual-stage
front-row air bags, side air bags
and side curtain air bags – seven
in all. The knee bag is another
feature not available in the Fit,
Versa or Yaris or the larger
Corolla, Civic or Sentra.
AdvanceTrac® with ESC
(Electronic Stability Control) is
standard on the new Fiesta,
adding to its nimble,
surefootedness.
The North American Fiesta also
offers a new level of quietness in
its segment, aided by a class-
exclusive specially laminated
windshield to absorb and contain
noise plus special sound-
absorbent foam and padding
used throughout.
Like Fiesta’s cloth seat inserts,
much of the sound absorbent
material is made from recycled
content.

MyFord technology connects
your vehicle to the future
By Andrew Stoy
As customers demand more
in-car connectivity, more options
and more information in their
vehicles, MyFord driver connect
technology will pioneer the next-
generation vehicle experience.
Designed to be powerful yet intu-
itive for all drivers, MyFord blends
the strengths of proven consumer
electronics interfaces – including
MP3 players and mobile phones –
with a new generation of Ford’s
award-winning SYNC® system.
Unveiled this month at the
annual Consumer Electronics
Show (CES), MyFord, along with
MyLincoln and MyMercury,
launches vehicle interiors into the
realm of such popular personal
electronics as laptop computers,
cell phones, digital cameras and

MyFord Touch and MyLincoln

the speedometer to provide

controllers on the
steering wheel.

Each corner of the screen allows
access to one of four categories –
phone, entertainment, navigation
and climate control – and all of
their functions.
For many centerstack media
and climate controls, MyFord uses
touch-sensitive technology, which
means there are no true buttons to

does the job while an audio beep
confirms the activation.
MyFord also allows selected user
settings to be programmed to

Next-generation
Ford Focus
debuts
By Cliff Peters and Peter Watt
Spearheaded by an unprecedented
global development program, the
next-generation Ford Focus made its
worldwide debut at the North American
International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit.
The sleek, stylish and sporty
four-door sedan and five-door
hatchback will begin production
in late 2010 in Europe and North
America with market launches in
early 2011. Launches in Asia, Africa
and South America will follow.
The new Focus will be nearly
identical in all markets, with 80
percent common parts used
around the world. Differences will
be mainly driven by local
standards and regulations.
“The new Ford Focus is a clear
demonstration that our ONE Ford
strategy is providing global
consumers with great products
“The new Ford Focus is a

that harness the best of Ford
Motor Company,” said Alan
Mulally, president and CEO,
Ford Motor Company.
Up to 10 new models will be built
on the new global C-segment
platform, which replaces three
separate platforms currently in
production. By 2012, the new
platform will generate sales of
more than 2 million units
worldwide. About half of those
will be models of the Focus, which
will be sold in 122 countries.
“The efficiencies generated by
our new global C-car platform will
enable us to provide Ford Focus
customers with an affordable prod-
uct offering quality, fuel efficiency,
safety and technology beyond their
expectations,” said Mulally.
That’s because customers
around the world want smaller
cars with outstanding fuel
economy plus the style,
technology, connectivity and
driving quality of larger
vehicles, explained Derrick
Kuzak, group vice president,
Global Product Development.
“Led by the exciting new
Focus, our next generation of
C-cars will clearly show that
Ford is ready to meet that
challenge now,” he said.
With its small car design
experience and engineering
talent, Ford of Europe led the
global development program on
the next Focus, making sure to
keep the car’s agile, responsive
driving quality.
Next, more than a year ago,
teams of engineers, manufacturing
specialists and assembly
employees gathered in front of
huge computer screens in North
America, Europe and Asia.
Taking advantage of rapid
advancements in virtual
manufacturing technology, the
worldwide team built the first car
virtually piece by piece, operation
by operation, right down to its
high-quality, high-tech paint finish.
An important step
Building that very first new
Focus on the computer was an
important step in Ford’s new
global manufacturing capability.
Assembly plants around the
world will now build next-
generation global Ford vehicles
using shared processes, tools and
technologies – a move that will
allow more common parts to be
used along with major strides in
economies of scale and

advancements in quality.
“It was an exciting moment,” said
Bruce Hettle, executive director,
Global Manufacturing. “We built the
car part by part, from start to finish,
from the first part of sheet metal.”
Along the way, teams at each
plant studied the virtual car and
confirmed that they would be able
to do what was required.
“And it wasn’t just engineers
and executives. It was also the
people who will build the cars on
the plant floor,” said Hettle.
Calling on experience gained
during the creation of the new Ford
Fiesta, the global teams in Germany,
England and Dearborn, Mich.,
brought their areas of expertise to
the project, engineering a vehicle to
meet customer and governmental
requirements in the major markets
right from the start.
Under the lights at the 2010
NAIAS, the new four-door sedan
and five-door hatchback mark the
next evolution of Ford’s acclaimed
“kinetic design” language which
has made the Fiesta such a
worldwide hit.
The design approach uses bold
lines and shapes to capture the
feeling of energy so the cars look
like they’re moving, even when
standing still.
Inside, the new Focus reveals an
extremely modern, cockpit-style
interior, with the stylish console
curving around the driver and
providing easy access to the car’s
major controls and display panels.
Craftsmanship shows in the
sculptured shape of the soft-touch
instrument panel and the choice of
superior trim materials that give
occupants the feeling they are
traveling in a premium-class car.
Developed to be best-in-class for
interior quietness, the new Focus
is designed to offer the reduced
cabin noise of competitors in the
larger C/D segment.
Advanced technology
The car’s advanced technology,
including MyFord (see story, page 8),
and available safety and convenience
features, complete the package.
Under the skin, the new North
American Focus has been
designed to offer unmatched
driving quality with chassis,
suspension and steering upgrades,
a new 2.0-liter gasoline engine and
the latest six-speed PowerShift
automatic transmission.
High-strength steels and other
materials help the Focus meet the
most stringent crash legislation in
Europe and North America, while
minimizing weight.
Ford also will offer the Focus
Electric, a full, zero-emissions
electric vehicle in 2011. The Focus
Electric will be Ford’s first all-
electric passenger vehicle.
Initial Focus production will be
at the Michigan Assembly Plant in
Wayne, Mich., and in Germany
and China.
