FORD'S NEW TECH

Today Ford announced a new technology that they will provide on the 2010 Focus coupe and will quickly be offered on many other Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models. The new innovation is called MyKey™.

MyKey™ allows owners to program a key that can limit the vehicle's top speed and audio volume. MyKey also encourages safety-belt usage, provides earlier low-fuel warnings and can be programmed to sound chimes at 45, 55 and 65 miles per hour. The MyKey system allows the parent to program any key through the vehicle message center, which updates the SecuriLock™ passive anti-theft system. When the MyKey is inserted into the ignition, the system reads the transponder chip in the key and immediately identifies the MyKey code, which enables certain default driving modes.

Ford to date has integrated better technology into their current line of vehicles than any other domestic vehicle manufacturer. When you consider the SYNC® system and the integration utilizing bluetooth Ford is way ahead of the competition. Take a few minutes and read the press release from FORD.

2008 10 Best

Car and Driver has just released their 2008 Ten Best List and I must admit I was shocked by a couple of the vehicles they chose, and I have a new favorite luxury sedan. It's not a Beemer! Check out some pictures of the all new 2008 Cadillac CTS below. It's not your Grandma's Caddy!
Some old "standbys" are also included like the BMW 3-Series, Honda Accord, Chevrolet Corvette, and Porsche Boxster/Cayman.

Another new vehicle on the list is the 2008 Chevrolet Malibu. I have not seen one of these up close and personal yet, but they do look very appealing. I hope people will begin to consider the Malibu over the Accord/Camry.
