2005 Chicago Auto Show Coverage
Claiming it built the SynUS to provide security and sanctuary from urban life, Ford's small but mighty B-sized concept takes its inspiration from bank vaults and armored cars, with a security mode that deploys protective shutters over the windshield and side windows and uses bulletproof glass in the smaller flank windows. Once locked safely inside, passengers can reverse their seatbacks to comfortably surf the `net or watch movies on the ginormous 45-inch widescreen liquid crystal display built into the tailgate. Should you need to make a speedy escape, Ford's 2.0-liter/134-horse turbodiesel and 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in P225/50-18 performance tires will ensure it is a fashionable getaway.

I was 30 minutes late to work today, and it was all Toyota's fault. (Okay, it was actually all my fault, but my boss might not be as upset about it if I blame Toyota…) I went on a wild goose chase through the hills of... more

How stupid is stupid? When does expediency cross the line into idiocy?
Many things are asked of trucks and truck owners. Even your best friends sometimes see us solely as a means to an end if a task is too overwhelming... more

When the Ford Flex made its debut at the 2007 New York Auto Show it caused a great deal of buzz. But do you think the buzz on this crossover is all the rave or do you think this will be just a thing of the past in a couple... more
