Next Ford Mustang will reportedly match current gen’s 8-year life cycle

The current-generation Ford Mustang, the S550, has been putting smiles on dials since 2014, when it arrived with great fanfare as part of Ford’s 50th anniversary celebrations for the Mustang nameplate. Ford these days is focused on SUVs and pickup trucks, but the Mustang isn’t going anywhere. In fact, the next-generation S650 was inadvertently confirmed in February to be arriving in 2022, by way of a job listing. That...

These are the 5 most expensive Ford Mustangs ever sold

The Ford Mustang has earned its place in history as one of the most formidable and exciting sports cars available. It even spawned its own segment, the “pony” car, which proved so popular, every other major American brand was forced into it and scrambled to keep up.

2020 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid vs 2020 Ford Escape Hybrid

A few years ago, this wouldn’t have registered as big news. Batteries made hybrids much more expensive, and their drive feel seemed like too much of a compromise to be worth the extra coin. Today, those barriers have largely been lifted, and making the switch to hybrid technology comes with ever-fewer drawbacks. Take the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid for example.

In filings with the U.S....

AC is building new Cobras with battery power or Ford four-cylinders

Iconic British carmaker AC is reviving what could be described as the most famous sports car ever built, the Cobra, as an EV or fuel-sipping four-cylinder. Of course, the cars it’ll build aren’t really Cobras, they’re technically “Ace” convertibles — that was the model’s name in the ’60s before Carroll Shelby replaced AC’s ancient straight-six with a Ford V8 and put the name “Cobra” on it. But AC is...

Mustang owners sue Ford over transmission issue

Some owners of the Blue Oval’s iconic pony car, the Mustang, apparently intend to take legal action against the company, claiming their vehicles’ manual transmissions exhibit less-than-stellar operating characteristics. Five plaintiffs are bringing action for themselves and on behalf of all hands who bought or leased a 2011 through 2019 Mustang equipped with the Getrag MT82 stickshift. The case alleges the cars were delivered to consumers by Ford with inherent...
