Ford adds Google Feature to Sync

An article in AutoBlog.com stated that Ford will add the ability to sync Google maps directions to your Ford Sync. Great news for those people who use Google Maps to figure their way out from Point A to Point B.

The article also stated that "drivers of late-model Ford vehicles equipped with Sync Traffic, Directions and Information (TDI) will soon be able to plot out their routes using Google Maps on their home computer and then download turn-by-turn directions directly to the car".

To use the latest feature Ford and Lincoln owners must used the "Send to Sync" feature and register on syncmyride.com for the free TDI services. The ability to send Google directions to Sync TDI will be launched later this month.

The Pony is Back!

The Pony is Back!

After vast improvements on the Ford Mustang, the Pony has made it the muscle car sales leader for the month of May. According to AutoBlog.com, Ford managed to sell 10,222 Mustangs, while Chevy only moved 8,931 Camaros.

AutoBlog.com also reported that while the Mustang tended to rank higher in comparisons against the Camaro even before the new engines hit the scene for 2011, American buyers responded to the big power numbers and menacing style of the General Motors muscle car. Now that the Ford is cranking out slightly more grunt and marginally better fuel economy, Chevrolet may find itself playing catch up for the rest of the year.

Stop by Hillcrest Ford and see what all the Mustang fuss is about.
