2016 Ford Explorer Will Be In the Gotham Spotlight

WESTLAND, Mich. –– One of Fox's most popular shows, Gotham will have a new actor on the set. Fox and Ford have worked together to create featured content that will begin airing Monday Feb. 29 during the winter premier of Gotham. Although Ford has many suitable vehicles to take the stage, the 2016 Ford Explorer will be in the Gotham spotlight.

The unique content, called Villains Revealed, will air during the show and also be available online at FOX.com. The content will air in 60-second segments each week through March 14th. The driver? Cory Michael Smith who plays a split-personality and future villain, Edward Nygma, otherwise known as the Riddler.

Smith will be driving the Ford Explorer around the streets of New York where he solves riddles because he is the Riddler after all. In the shots he will be solving the riddles and referencing various Gotham cast members and dropping "easter egg" like clues for viewers and Gotham followers along the way.

The content was filmed in New York on set in January. This is actually the second year that Ford and Fox have worked together to create exclusive content. In fact the 2015 Ford Fusion was the vehicle in the spotlight last year with Ford and Fox's collaboration. The content will be featuring the 2016 Ford Explorer Platinum and will highlight:

• Voice-to-text capability
• SYNC 3 driver-connectivity system
• 180-degree front camera
• Hands-free liftgate
• Active park assist

“It’s a fun and very creative way to showcase some of what makes Explorer Platinum such a great vehicle,” said Ginger Kasanic, Ford experiential marketing manager. “A lot of people – from the show’s writers to Cory himself – really got involved in the story-telling process.”

2016 Ford Fusion Hybrid Named Best Hybrid Car for the Money

WESTLAND, Mich. –– Each year brings a new wave of  vehicles with edgier looks, nicer interiors, and better fuel economy. This year, the Ford Fusion Hybrid came to us with a small but impactful facelift and a top-performance lithium ion battery. The 2016 Ford Fusion was named Best Hybrid Car for the Money by U.S. News & World Report for top of class value and outstanding reviews.

The 2016 Ford Fusion Hybrids packs a lithium-ion battery which allows electric driving speeds of up to 85 mph. This sedan offers a much more sporty drive than you might think and has excellent responsive handling. Many automotive writers enjoy its almost unnoticeable transition from gas to electric, and vice versa. People who have driven the car also describe it having a quiet engine that provides great acceleration and power for every day driving.

If you're not familiar with hybrids, a common technology offered with them is regenerative braking. It's an energy recovery system that slows the vehicle by converting its kinetic energy to a form of energy that can be used immediately or stored. Conventional brakes contrast by converting the excess kinetic energy to wasted heat by friction in the brakes. The 2016 Ford Fusion Hybrid captures up to 90% of energy with regenerative braking which makes the car even more efficient, and helps extend the life of brake parts.

Arguably the most important feature of a hybrid is its fuel economy. The 2016 Ford Fusion Hybrid gets an EPA-estimated 44 mpg city/41 mpg highway, which is one of the best ratings for a midsize hybrid. But another selling spot is the interior which feels updated and upscale with soft touch, premium materials. SYNC 3, navigation, and wi-fi capability is accessible on the 8-inch touch screen. Available features are active park assist, push-button start, moonroof, satellite radio, blind spot monitoring, 12-speaker Sony audio system, and more. With all these features and great efficiency that comes with this sedan, it's easy to see why the 2016 Ford Fusion Hybrid was named Best Hybrid Car for the Money.
