2016 Lincoln MKX will Change Your Idea of Luxury

JACKSON, Mich.– You can’t discuss the opulence of today's upper-class vehicles without mentioning Lincoln. The 2016 Lincoln MKX will change your idea of luxury with a number of interior design updates and advanced technology, and keep Lincoln at the core of the conversation.

While some brands rely on a nameplate or badge to sell their vehicles, Lincoln adheres to traditional American values and relies on quality manufacturing to drive sales. This works in Lincoln’s favor, seeing as 74 percent of affluent consumers consider high-quality craftsmanship to be the primary factor for purchasing luxury vehicles. Lincoln clearly delivers that quality, and there are a number of ways that the 2016 Lincoln MKX will change your idea of luxury.

One of the most prominent luxury features the 2016 MKX offers is distinctive Bridge of Weir Deepsoft leather that goes through a 16-hour softening process and was explicitly designed for Lincoln seats. The higher-end MKX also features a hand-sewn and –stitched Wollsdorf leather-wrapped steering wheel. In that case, you might say the 2016 MKX offers luxury at your fingertips.

You’ll also find a redesigned center console with an armrest that includes a two-button clamshell execution, as well as a number of minute but noticeable updates to the interior that add an overall air of gentility to the MKX, including:

• Revel Audio System
• Better alignment of the A-pillar and headliner
• Reduced margins and no sharp edges, cut lines, parting lines or visible fasteners
• Genuine wood and metal trimming
• More than 1,200 interfaces
• Foam added to the console side panels, armrests and steering wheel for added comfort
• More firmness added to the dead-pedal area– where drivers rest their left foot
• Stainless steel scuff materials in the door and tailgate to resist scratches and add elegance

We believe the 2016 MKX one of the preeminent luxury vehicles of its model year, and you should expect to see Lincoln’s name on a much more frequent basis from here on out. We’re looking forward to showing off the 2016 MKX this year at our Lincoln dealership serving Adrian, MI, but  feel free to gape at the craftsmanship of our other Lincoln cars for sale as well!

2016 Lincoln MKX First Vehicle to Offer Revel Audio System

JACKSON, Mich.– If you nerd-out about the science behind precise acoustics and perfectly balanced tone levels, prepare yourself for the newest Lincoln luxury feature that we're pretty certain will melt your audiophile ears.

As if Lincoln vehicles weren’t stately enough, the automaker recently added a new dimension of luxury making the 2016 Lincoln MKX the first vehicle to offer a Revel audio system, which is said to be comparable to the most sophisticated home-audio systems.

According to Kevin Voecks, Revel product development manager, “the placement, tuning, calibration and number of speakers are unique to each Lincoln model to ensure superior sound quality and audio accuracy.”

The speakers are methodically installed throughout the MKX to ensure they reproduce the best midrange and high-frequency sound possible. Through precise speaker installation, you’re able to enjoy the minutiae of a song like never before.

Revel has specialized in producing preeminent home-audio systems since 1996, and pairing their knowledge on the Science of Sound with high-end Lincoln vehicles should give them a successful foray into the automotive world.

Along with meticulously architected speakers, the 2016 Lincoln MKX is the first vehicle to offer a Revel audio system instilled with remarkable audio technologies. Clari-Fi reconstructs audio fine points that were masked in the compression of a song, and Revel’s proprietary Class A/B and Class D amplification pumps up the jams for you with substantial audio clarity at any volume level.

QuantumLogic Surround creates intricate surround-sound and cancels out the negative smearing effects common in surround-sound systems that can quickly kill your vibe, and comes with three optional listening modes:

• Traditional Stereo
• Audience, which creates a symphonic ambience that fives you the illusion of attending a concert
• On Stage, which puts you in the center of the action by carefully positioning the sound of each instrument throughout the MKX

And just to quell any doubts, Revel’s sound system powered through stringent testing and scrutiny from trained listeners who were first required to pass 100 listening tests, so you can trust that this audio system is just as deluxe as the Lincoln MKX.

If you’re looking for a vehicle that gives you more than just a chic design and some expensive leather seats, you need to give the Lincoln MKX your attention. In fact, any of the New Lincoln Cars at our Adrian area Lincoln dealer will suit you. Come see what true luxury means and take one out for a test drive.

New Ford Headlights will Make Drivers More Aware at Night

JACKSON, Mich.– Have you ever been driving at night and come this close (as you hold your index finger and thumb just centimeters apart) to hitting an obstruction in the road before swerving away? It can be difficult to see animals, people and objects that aren’t within the restricted visible area illuminated by your headlights, which means driving at night can be a risky operation at times.

If you’ve been wishing someone would find a solution to this dilemma, you can finally relax because new Ford headlights will make drivers more aware at night thanks to Ford’s Camera-Based Advanced Front Lighting System and its Spot Lighting, systems developed from Ford’s Adaptive Front Lighting System and Traffic Sign Recognition that exist in Ford models now.

The Camera-Based Advanced Front Lighting System widens your headlight beams to expose space that lies outside your vehicle’s path that normally isn’t visible with ordinary headlights. It can also foresee your vehicle’s path using GPS so your headlights can adapt to the terrain and keep bends and dips illuminated for you.

Even if your GPS goes out, Ford has its bases covered with a forward-facing video camera installed in the rear-view mirror base. The camera detects lane markings and maps out the shape of the road for you, and stores all of the information so its available to you the next time you’re traveling that route.

Spot Lighting plays a vital role in how new Ford headlights will make drivers more aware at night by letting you know when objects are in or outside of your vehicle’s path. The system uses an infrared camera in your vehicle’s grille to highlight up to eight people or animals within 360 feet of your vehicle.

For good measure, Spot Lighting also identifies road hazards two LED lamps beside your vehicle’s fog lights to shine a spot and stripe at objects on the road. Based on their proximity to you, the spotlighted objects are represented with a yellow or red box on the screen inside your vehicle so you can see where and how far they are from you and avoid them if necessary.

There’s no telling what could be on the road when night falls, and it’s extremely important to stay aware of your surroundings when you drive in the dark. Ford’s new headlight technology will make that more feasible for you, although for now new systems are stuck in their development phases in Europe. Until they hit production, it’s worth taking a look at the New Ford Cars and New Ford Trucks at our Clarklake area Ford dealership to get an idea of what quality safe vehicles look like!

2016 Ford F-150 Limited Will Be the Best Pickup Truck Ever

JACKSON, Mich.– Have you heard the big news? Ford will debut the 2016 F-150 Limited this winter, and the light-duty pickup is predicted to be the most luxurious and advanced model in its class. But touting the next generation F-150 Limited doesn’t prove anything, so we’re going to fill you in on why the 2016 Ford F-150 Limited will be the best pickup truck ever.

With the 21^st century, continuously improved design and new technology have created a trend of rapid innovations in the automotive world, which means benchmarks are annually raised along with consumer standards. This is obvious with performance vehicles like the 2015 Ford Mustang, but truck consumers want in on the action, too.

Ford developed the 2016 F-150 Limited to meet the increasing demands of customers who wish to stay a part of pickup culture but also require a more sophisticated truck to meet their appetite for singularity, convenience and artistry. While the 2016 F-150 Limited veers from being ostentatious and stays true to the Ford’s traditional pickup performance values, it happens to come with a multitude of prominent driver convenience features and technologies that help it glow a little brighter than other same-class pickups.

The 2016 F-150 Limited will offer four color options, including Shadow Black, Magnetic, Blue Jeans, and a White Platinum Metallic tri-coat. Some initial standout features that prove the 2016 Ford F-150 Limited will be the best pickup truck ever include:

• 22-inch polished aluminum wheels
• Raised “LIMITED” lettering on the hood
• A unique grille
• Plenty of satin-finished chrome adornments like the front bumper, door handles, exhaust tailpipe and a tailgate badge

Luxury pervades the 2016 F-150 Limited and can be seen throughout the interior of the pickup as well with features like:

• A laser-engraved VIN plate on the center console lid that includes a production number
• One-of-a-kind floor mats
• A unique instrument cluster face
• Fiddleback eucalyptus wood and aluminum accents
• Unique scuff plates with ice blue backlighting

The the exterior and interior design features give you a glimpse into the 2016 F-150 Limited’s world of luxury, but advanced technology also plays a role:

• BLIS with cross-traffic alert
• A panoramic vista roof
• Power-deployable running boards
• Quad-beam LED headlamps
• Remote start and tailgate release
• An integrated brake controller
• An optional technology package that comes with a lane-keeping system, 360-degree camera system, and dynamic trailer hitch assist

Of course, the 2016 F-150 Limited also comes with SYNC 3, Ford’s latest communications and entertainment system, but it also gives you a Sony 10-speaker sound system with HD Radio, a subwoofer and CD player, and a 5-year subscription to SiriusXM and TravelLink.

To make the 2016 F-150 Limited even more impressive, it can achieve an EPA-estimated 20 miles per gallon with combined 17 mpg city and 24 mpg highway– that’s with a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 capable of towing over 10,000 pounds, and an advanced powertrain that produced 365 horsepower and 420 pounds per foot of torque. No other same-class pickup with a commensurate engine is capable of producing that level of torque.

It might be tough for you to keep track of the unique features that make the 2016 F-150 Limited so exclusive, but then again that sort of proves our point that this high-end F-150 will be the most advanced, luxurious pickup in its class. Like you, we can’t wait to see this gem on our truck lot, but we also realize a pickup like this isn’t for everyone. If you’re looking for a more traditional Ford F-150, we have plenty of New Ford Trucks, along with plenty of New Ford Cars, at our Ford Dealership serving Adrian, MI!

Ford Makes 2015 F-150 More Aerodynamic

JACKSON, Mich.– A vehicle’s attainable gas mileage tends to take precedence in the hierarchy of pros and cons when today’s drivers are looking for their next vehicle, but a high number of miles per gallon is difficult to find in even the most modern pickup models.

Wind drag is a damaging factor that reduces gas mileage, especially for large vehicles like the 2015 Ford F-150. Thankfully, Ford makes the 2015 F-150 more aerodynamic than any other pickup, which means the it gets some truly remarkable gas mileage for being such a tough truck.

Here’s how wind drag works: The more exposed a truck’s wheels are, the more wind drag is produced, which results in awful gas mileage. Blocking off the wheels with skirts helps smooth out the airflow, but it’s not really a feasible or appealing solution, chiefly for a pickup like the F-150 (put wheel skirts on it and you may as well be driving a Prius, which means you shouldn’t be driving an F-150).

Ford makes the 2015 F-150 more aerodynamic with a streamlined design called air curtains that direct air from the front of the truck into horizontal slots underneath the headlamps. The air travels through ducts that open into the wheel wells so the air effortlessly flows across the outer faces of the wheels and alongside the truck.

Rather than implementing literal wheel skirts, the narrowly targeted force of air acts as a skirt in itself to curtail wind drag. This keeps your gas mileage up where you want it to be, and preserves your F-150’s fully exposed alloy wheels that add to its tough image.

The F-150’s streamlining air curtains, which debuted on the all-new Mustang, allow it to achieve the best-in-class gasoline EPA-estimated rating of 19 miles per gallon in the city and 26 mpg highway with the 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V6 engine. Other aerodynamic design advancements also add to the 2015 F-150’s improved gas mileage, including:

• A Flush-mounted windshield that eliminates the need for molding, which disturbs airflow
• A tailgate top that functions as a spoiler to help guide airflow from the roof and reduces backend turbulence
• A cargo box narrower than the cab but preserving its original volume, with a trim piece to prevent air from being trapped between it and the cab
• Rear corners and tail lamps that are meticulously shaped for air to neatly break off from, also reducing backend turbulence

The Ford F-150 has already garnered popularity as U.S. military members’ favorite truck and as the winner of AutoPacific’s Vehicle Satisfaction Award for light-duty pickups, but we expect that popularity to skyrocket as Ford makes the 2015 F-150 more aerodynamic through continuously revised designs. Ford’s approach to constant research, brainstorming and innovation is what makes us happy to sell New Ford Cars and New Ford Trucks as a Ford dealer serving Adrian, MI!

Ford Uses Space Shuttle Technology to Reinvent the Wheel

JACKSON, Mich.– The Ford Shelby® GT350R Mustang is Ford’s highest performing track-ready Mustang ever produced and it needs high-performance wheels to keep up with its insanity, which is why Ford used Space Shuttle technology to reinvent the wheel for this surprisingly street-legal pony car.

To give the GT350R a set of wheels that can truly handle the heat, Ford Performance developed a carbon fiber wheel that is coated in ceramic plasma arc spray– the same material used on the Space Shuttle. The coating protects the wheels from intense brake heat, granting more durability as well as a sleek finish.

Although Ford used Space Shuttle technology to reinvent the wheel, aftermarket manufacturers already produce carbon fiber wheels. However, Ford is the first automotive manufacturer to utilize the technology at a scale of mass-production for the GT350R.

Carbon fiber wheels are unique because they improve suspension response times and chassis performance, cut down on weight, and enhance steering and ride quality. The carbon fiber wheel meets Ford’s highest standards for durability, quality, craftsmanship and finish, so we’re betting you would feel quite a difference between it and your vehicle’s current wheels.

Ford’s wheels already go through a brutal testing process that covers curb strikes, UV and chemical exposure, and broiling heat, proving their dependability. The GT350R’s carbon fiber wheels go through the same testing, but they are stiffer, lighter and more resilient so they greater chance at withstanding abrasive elements or the impact of an occasional curb hop.

To produce a carbon fiber wheel, Ford uses a preformed internal carbon structure formed of woven carbon strands. Then an RFID chip with a specific tracking number is implanted in the structure and it is entered into a quality assurance system. The structure is infused with resin and cured at high temperatures before receiving the high-gloss black coating that gives it thermal protection.

The entire process renders a whole wheel, rather than one composed of various parts and structures welded and bonded together. The wholeness of the carbon fiber wheel strengthens it and proves to be much more durable than a typical aluminum wheel.

As much as we would all love to have carbon fiber wheels developed with Space Shuttle technology under our vehicles, for now you have to purchase a Ford Shelby GT350R Mustang or opt to purchase an aftermarket brand that won’t live up to the quality of Ford’s product. Regardless of what wheels you drive on, you always get a quality vehicle when you purchase a New Ford Car or New Ford Truck like those at our Ford Dealer near Clarklake, MI!
