2011 Ford F-150 Harley-Davidson Edition
Jul 6th
There are cars and trucks that are blank slates, waiting for you to add your own personal touch. And then there are vehicles that come from the factory with all the attitude you could ever hope for built right in. It should come as no surprise that the Ford F-150 Harley-Davidson edition is one of the latter.
Ford’s partnership with Harley dates to 1999, and each successive edition seems to get bigger, bolder and brasher. The 2011 model is so in-your-face that you might feel compelled to take a step back, in fact. Massive wheels, a lowered stance and a custom graphics look belie the fact that this is a factory-built truck. The Harley F-150 also benefits from a significant round of 2011 upgrades to the F-150 lineup, including new engines and some tricks for improving fuel economy. More >
2011 Ford Fusion
Mar 22nd
I always respect family cars that have every right to be dull transportation appliances, but go the extra mile to be interesting instead. It’s not such a special thing to build a reliable, functional and affordable vehicle these days; making it interesting is the hard part. The Ford Fusion makes it look easy.

With conservative-yet-dynamic styling, a very capable suspension and appealing pricing, the Fusion has gone a long way toward making the Ford oval a badge worthy of respect when it comes to compact sedans. Fresh off a 2010 update, the Fusion picks up a few new options for 2011, including available HD Radio. More >
2011 Ford Edge
Feb 25th
Somewhere at the intersection of family sedans, SUVs and the good old woody wagon, there’s the Ford Edge. Ford’s crossover utility vehicle didn’t completely change the game when it arrived in 2006, but it went a long way toward defining the segment. The Edge is the result of a generation of family cars asked to perform a wide and often unpredictable variety of tasks. It’s almost impossible to take this vehicle by surprise; the Edge is ready for anything the suburbs can throw at it and more.
For 2011 Ford’s crossover receives a freshening, gaining a less anonymous face, new high-tech engines and an exciting new information system that’s borrowed directly from Ford’s concept cars. The crossover market has gotten more crowded in the past twelve months, but the updated Edge still stands out. More >
