2010 Ford Taurus SHO
Twenty years ago, Ford unleashed the Taurus SHO: Sensible family car on the outside, renegade on the inside. 2010 brings an all-new SHO built around Ford's new EcoBoost V6, a 3.5 liter engine with direct fuel injection and twin turbos that develops 365 hp. The 2010 Ford Taurus SHO sounds good on paper, but how does it work on the street? Read on. 2010 Ford Taurus SHO: Tested and reviewed by Aaron Gold, your Guide to Cars at About.com.

2010 Ford Fusion Sport test drive
Ford has given its mid-size Fusion a serious make-over for 2010, including an updated exterior, improved cabin, revised engines, and a new top-of-the-line Sport model. I've always thought the Ford Fusion was underrated and underappreciated. Will the 2010 Ford Fusion fix that?

2011 Ford Fiesta preview drive
Ford's subcompact 2011 Fiesta won't hit American streets until early 2010, but Ford gave me a chance to check out the European version of the Ford Fiesta. I got a good feel for the 2011 Ford Fiesta's styling and practicality -- and a good feeling that, if Ford doesn't change it too much, the 2011 Ford Fiesta is going to be a very successful car. 2011 Ford Fiesta: Tested and reviewed by Aaron Gold, your Guide to Cars at About.com.

2009 Ford Focus SES Coupe test drive
Ford redesigned the Focus in 2008; for 2009 they've jazzed up the top-of-the-line SES coupe with subtle styling tweaks, a roof-mounted spoiler, and 17" wheels. Manual-transmission cars get a 3-hp bump while automatics get a lower final drive ratio to boost acceleration. Safety also gets a boost, with a new electronic stability control system and rear headrests. How does it all come together? Read on. 2009 Ford Focus Coupe: Tested and reviewed by Aaron Gold, your Guide to Cars at About.com.
