Few would describe the Ford Mustang as subtle at the best of times, but the 2020 Mustang is getting even more outlandish with a new, eye-searing green paint job. The automaker has dipped into what it's referring to as its "heritage-inspired" paint swatches for the new hue, a nod back to vintage Mustang finishes decades ago.
A decent 1960s Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 could easily set you back six-figures, so classic pony car fans on a budget might prefer the latest LEGO Mustang model instead. Demanding a far more acceptable $149.99 from your wallet, the downside to the LEGO Creator Ford Mustang is that it's a little smaller than the real thing.
Ford has revealed the new 2019 Focus ST, the latest version of its hot hatch, but there's bad news to go along with the good. The punchy five-door hatchback drops a choice of gas or diesel turbocharged engines under the hood, for torque that could shame a new Honda Civic Type R.
Ford has confirmed pricing and specifications of the 2020 Explorer, and while the all-new SUV is a little more expensive than its predecessor, the automaker insists you're getting a better deal overall.

The new smart bed joins the smart dog house Ford Europe introduced last year.
Ford has revealed the 2020 Super Duty range, and the new F-250, F-350, and F-450 promise to be the most powerful, tech-savvy trucks from the automaker to-date. A range of new gas and diesel engines are joined by a new 10-speed automatic transmission, along with some big promises from Ford.
Ford's all-electric utility, the SUV previously known as the Mach 1, is still on track to be revealed this year, the automaker has confirmed today. The new model - part of a sizable investment into electrification by the brand - will sit alongside an arguably even more important truck, however.
We have a very fond place in our car guy and gal hearts for epic cars that are meant solely for use on the race track. One of the slick breeds of track day rides is the VUHL 05RR that was developed in the UK specifically for a Mexican startup company about six years ago. The result is a very cool car that has no windshield or roof.
Not long ago Ford pulled the wraps off the incredible Shelby GT500 Mustang packing over 700hp, and fans were thrilled.
