Ford Unveils New Cars at 2007 Auto Show

January 2007 (Medialink) -- Ford unveiled five vehicles, and a big surprise -- new Sync technology that wirelessly integrates your cell phone or music player into your car's audio system -- at the 2007 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. More than 6500 journalists have descended upon Detroit from more than 60 countries. The automotive companies spend millions of dollars -- and 2-and-a-half months getting ready for this show. It's the biggest show in North America. 2008 Ford Focus: Redesigned from the inside out with a bold new look and a modern interior. Joining the new Focus 4-door sedan is a sporty 2-door coupe that delivers strong fuel economy and a new design. 2008 Ford Five Hundred: A more distinct, contemporary design - more power - more standard safety features. Under the sculpted hood a 260-horsepower V-6 engine and a more fuel-efficient 6-speed transmission. Concept cars: Ford Airstream concept: Influenced by Airstream's iconic design and the optimism for the future that Stanley Kubrick captured in his 1960's cult film 2001: A Space Odyssey. The concept is powered by a plug-in hydrogen hybrid fuel cell that operates under electric power at all times. This advanced fuel cell system is half the weight and cost of today's fuel cells and can operate in the dead of winter. Lincoln MKR concept: Delivers elegant simplicity, environmentally friendly amenities and fuel-saving technology. It contains all of the design cues that Lincoln customers have come to recognize as classic Lincoln design -- along with a gorgeous interior with seats trimmed with chrome accents. Ford Interceptor Concept: A tough muscle car spin on a sedan inspired by Mustang. A V-8 engine delivers 400 horsepower and runs on E-85 ethanol, a blend of 15 percent gas and 85 percent ethanol. Produced for Ford
