SVTP Coverage of NAIAS 2014 : Ford Media Conference

2014 is definitely going to be a great year for Ford. Be sure to watch the full video below.http://www.svtperformance.com/forum...overage-naias-2014-ford-media-conference.htmlhttp://www.svtperformance.com/forum...overage-naias-2014-ford-media-conference.html

​

With the North American International Auto Show (in Detroit, MI) officially starting the 2014 auto show season Ford pulled out all the stops and put on unquestionably the best media conference I have ever seen from an auto company. The stage was set up in The Joe Louis Arena, home of the Detroit Red Wings, and if you're a Ford-fan the next 25 minutes was just awesome. Alan Mulally, Bill Ford, and a host of executives presented expounded on Ford's global dominance in certain markets and introduced the vehicles that have lead to some of Ford's best sales figures in over a decade. The conference concluded with the introduction of the All-New aluminum-bodied (~500-700 pound lighter) 2015 Ford F-150 in a fashion that felt like being at an Imax presentation of a Transformers movie. I can't wait to get behind the of the 2015 Mustang and F-150. Until then, check out the full video of the conference and the photos below:

I see a new Ranger too?

Yes. That's the Global Ranger, which is available in over 130 markets outside the US.

Did they mention about bringing it back to the US?

Did they mention about bringing it back to the US?

No. That will probably never happen. The Global Ranger is nearly the size of an F-150, it wouldn't make sense to bring it to the US.

I personally don't see how GM can justify selling the new Colorado and Canyon here. They are nearly the size of a 1/2 ton, and can't be too different on price or mileage.
