New 2015 Lincoln MKZ Ads to Feature Matthew McConaughey

JACKSON, Mich. - So nice, they partnered with him twice! Lincoln Motor Company has teamed up with Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey once again for a new 2015 Lincoln MKZ and MKZ Hybrid ad campaign. Lincoln's previous "Live in Your Moment" campaign with McConaughey helped fuel early sales of the 2015 Lincoln MKC, giving Lincoln plenty of reason to continue this multiyear collaboration with McConaughey.

The new 2015 Lincoln MKZ ads featuring Matthew McConaughey will officially debut during the New Year's Day college football bowl games. The two ads follow the same style and tone of the "Live in Your Moment" campaign, while spotlighting some unique features of the MKZ and MKZ Hybrid. Lincoln is hoping to spark even more interest in the brand's already best-selling vehicle through these new TV and online ads.

One of the ads is titled "Diner" and highlights the 2015 Lincoln MKZ's sleek exterior, spacious interior, push-button start, MyLincoln Touch drive connectivity system, and the available retractable panoramic roof. The other spot titled "Balance" was created to emphasize to luxury car buyers that they do not need to compromise style for environmental responsibility. You can watch the new 2015 Lincoln MKZ ads featuring Matthew McConaughey below ––

Ford to Sell First Shelby GT350 Mustang to Benefit JDRF

JACKSON, Mich. - In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Shelby GT350 Mustang, Ford Motor Company will be auctioning off the first production unit of the all-new Shelby GT350 Mustang at the Barrett-Jackson Auction on Saturday, January 17th in Scottsdale, Arizona. 

The winning bidder will acquire much more than an all-new Shelby GT350 Mustang, they will also gain the satisfaction in knowing that their generous contribution is going directly to the country's leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes research. Ford is selling the first Shelby GT350 Mustang to benefit JDRF, an organization that the company has supported since 1983. Along with the auction of the new Shelby, Ford will also have several of its 2015 models at the event, including the Mustang, Expedition, and F-150, for ride-and-drives for auction attendees. Even the Shelby American-built GT500 Super Snake and Shelby Focus ST will be available for a "hot lap" experience with professional drivers from Miller Motorsports Park.

Ford took the most advanced Mustang of all time and tweaked every aspect that contributes to the car's overall driving experience to create the Shelby GT350 Mustang. Under the Shelby's hood is the first V8 from Ford with a flat-place crankshaft - a design typically used for exotic European sports cars - that puts out more than 500 horsepower and more than 400 lb.-ft. of torque! Of course with an engine this powerful, you need a reliable set of breaks. Not to worry, the GT350 features the most track-worthy brake system that Ford has ever offered in terms of power and fade resistance!

Ford SYNC® 3 Takes Connectivity to the Next Level

JACKSON, Mich. - Ford SYNC® 3 Takes Connectivity to the Next Level, offering a faster, more intuitive, easier to use communication and entertainment system to consumers. Building upon the current capability of SYNC technology, SYNC 3 is taking another step forward in improving Ford customer's experience and providing them with features that they want the most while on the road.

Customers will not only notice an all-new touch screen with smartphone-like capabilities, like pinch-to-zoom and swipe, but also that the home screen features fewer graphics for a simpler look. Three zones - Navigation, Audio, and Phone - dominate the screen with a quick access function tray along the bottom. Drivers will now enjoy a more straight-forward experience, making for easier control and limiting the number of times they will need to glance at the screen.

AppLink™, which is currently used on Ford SYNC to control in-vehicle apps through voice commands, has also made some improvements. Connecting your smartphone to your vehicle and controlling all apps using voice commands or buttons has never been easier thanks to AppLink's faster, more responsive, and easier to use technology. The SYNC 3 layout has helped to improve integration and create a more user-friendly experience for Ford customers.

Ford SYNC 3 also has an all-new voice-recognition technology, minimizing the number of steps needed to carry out a command. The system can easily identify basic commands like "play <song, artist, or album>" without the driver having to identify the category. Voice search results have also been altered. Now the system will be able to understand how consumers typically refer to businesses and points of interest. For example, rather than saying "Detroit Metropolitan Airport", drivers can say "Detroit Airport". 

Ford SYNC® 3 will be taking connectivity to the next level on Ford vehicles starting next year! If you can hardly wait to experience all that Ford SYNC has to offer, stop by Seymour Ford Lincoln! We have a huge variety of new and Used Cars for Sale near Jackson, MI. We are located at 2601 Seymour Road in Jackson, Michigan 49201.

JACKSON, Mich. - Make way Ford Dealers, 2015 Mustang Convertible coming through! That's right, we can expect to see the drop-top version of the infamous pony car on dealership lots nationwide starting next week! Although it may seem like an odd time of the year to offer a convertible version of the 2015 Mustang, Ford Motor Company is sure that this vehicle will be able to hold its own during the winter season.

Isn't there always a method to the madness? Contrary to what some may think, Ford knew exactly what the 2015 Mustang Convertible needed to entail if it was going to hit showrooms in the middle of December. The pony car features heated and cooled seats, allowing customers to stay comfortable regardless of how cold or warm it may be. Another standard feature on the 2015 Mustang Convertible is the remote start, ideal for warming up your pony car during those bitter cold months from the comfort of your home or office. Lastly, and most importantly, this Mustang has an available wet/snow driving mode. This setting adjusts the throttle response, steering effort, and the traction control to mitigate wheel spin and maximize control.

Lincoln and Revel Bring Premium Sound to Luxury Vehicles

JACKSON, Mich. - After announcing an exclusive 10-year collaboration, Lincoln and Revel are bringing premium sound to luxury vehicles! Lincoln brand vehicles will be the only automotive brand offering Revel audio systems and able to create a mesmerizing audio experience unlike any other.

Revel is known for providing customers with premium home audio equipment, but now they are teaming up with Lincoln Motor Company to bring customers incredible acoustics and intuitive technologies. Revel worked with Lincoln engineers and designers to perfect the "Science of Sound" during the vehicle design process. Each speaker has been strategically placed, tuned, calibrated, and formed inside of each of the unique Lincoln models to ensure only the highest of quality and accuracy. 

QuantumLogic Surround is the next-generation surround-sound technology that the Revel audio systems from Lincoln will feature. Lincoln owners will use their MyLincoln Touch screen to select one of three listening modes - Traditional Stereo; Audience, which disintegrates the boundaries of the vehicle and provides an intimate concert experience; and On Stage, an experience that puts listeners in the middle of the music and places individual instruments throughout the cabin. The sound system also includes Revel Ultima Clari-Fi™, a HARMAN technology that rebuilds auto details lost in digitally compressed music. 

In order for Lincoln and Revel to bring premium sound to luxury vehicles, this sound system had to be carefully though out and executed by Revel and Lincoln engineers. The tweeters in each vehicle will be positioned just so, ensuring that listeners hear a seamless blend between the tweeters and midrange speakers. The very first Lincoln vehicle to contain the system will be the next-generation MKX midsize utility. 

Whether you are in the market for a vehicle that is the newest of the new or one that will fit into your budget, Seymour Ford Lincoln is here to help! We have an outstanding variety of vehicles in our inventory, including plenty of Certified Pre-Owned Cars for Sale. Seymour Ford Lincoln is located at 2601 Seymour Road in Jackson, Michigan 49201.

Preparing Your Vehicle for the Winter Months Ahead

JACKSON, Mich. - And just like that, Old Man Winter is standing at our door step. With all of the craziness this time of the year brings, we sometimes let a few things slip off of our "To-Do" list. One of the first to go? Car care. Yes, it can be somewhat of a hassle, but by preparing your vehicle for the winter months ahead you will save yourself a MAJOR headache later on.

If you take a few moments out of your day to review these helpful tips, your vehicle will be ready to handle the snow, sleet, and slush without any trouble at all! Here is how you can prepare your vehicle for the winter months ahead ––– 

• Let's start from the inside out. We suggest investing in rubber matts for the inside of your vehicle. A few extra bucks can help you to avoid getting moisture into your carpet and will prevent those yucky white salt stains. 

• Take a look at your lights. With the days getting shorter and darker, it is a wise idea to ensure that all of your lights are working properly.

• Replace your windshield wiper blades and refill your washer fluid. It is no secret that snow, ice, and slush bombard our windshields in the winter and disrupt our view, which is why we highly advise you keep your wiper blades at their best!

• Consider a half full gas tank as empty. Is it a hassle to fill up more often in the winter? Absolutely. However, below zero temperatures and a half full gas tank do not mix and increase the chances of your fuel tank freezing up.

• Keep a Winter Safety Kit in your vehicle at all times. If anything should happen - say you didn't listen to our previous tip and you run out of gas - it is extremely beneficial to have a safety kit on hand. Your kit should include things like a blanket, a flashlight with extra batteries, a first-aid kit, snacks, a windshield scraper, and booster cables. 

• One of the best ways to ensure your vehicle is ready for winter is to keep it up to date on regular routine maintenance. The technicians at the Seymour Ford Lincoln Service Center are here to help you with any of your vehicle needs!
