Top Fords For 2015 | Lamarque Ford | New Orleans, Metairie

October 30, 2014 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

Since the start of their global strategy, Ford has made it clear they’re serious about pushing the limits of technology, design, and performance. 2015 will be a big year for Ford, as they’re introducing all-new models across the board and significant updates to all models. Here’s a quick wrap-up of what’s in store for 2015 from the blue oval.

2015 Ford Taurus at Lamarque Ford New Orleans

All-New 2015 F-150

The F Series truck has been Ford’s work horse for decades, and 2015 will see a brand new F-150 like no other truck. From its all-aluminum frame, to the new headlights and towing capabilities, this truck remains America’s best selling vehicle. Ford is also introducing a new engine line-up, betting heavily on its  V6 EcoBoost, which outperforms bigger engines while operating more efficiently. Inside its cockpit you will find an office, a zen place, a multi-media center, all in one.

2015 Ford Mustang

Mustang fans are excited about 2015 as the new pony car gets an exterior redesign, new gadgets and new engine line-up. The 2015 Mustang now sits closer to the ground with a meaner, bolder look, embellished by LED headlamps and taillights and leaner lines on its sides. Line lock, which let’s you burnout the tires for preparation at the drag strip, comes standard on all GT’s and is an option for all models. Mustang enthusiasts will also appreciate the new four-cylinder EcoBoost, which outperforms the V6 standard engine.

2015 Ford Taurus

Earlier this year we featured a post on the 2015 Taurus SHO, which features  AWD and a turbo-charged V6. SHO, which stands for Super High Output, is the top-of-the-line Taurus and reflects the best of the best. With Taurus, Ford is sending the message that they still own the full-size market, and they do so with style. 2015 Taurus also offers BLIS blind spot warning system, MyFord Touch with SYNC and standard rear-view camera.

2015 Ford Focus

Focus is the world’s best selling nameplate, and as such, one can always expect great new iterations and improvements. The 2015 model does not disappoint and brings much of the same great engineering to the market. Models highlights include a 3-cylinder EcoBoost and a turbo-charged ST performance.

Ford’s New Pre-Collision Warning System | Lamarque Ford | New Orleans

October 16, 2014 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

For years, Ford has been at the forefront of the development of new vehicle safety technologies, so much it even sells its own to other manufacturers. But Ford is not stopping there. The company just announced a new system to help avoid and even eliminate front collisions with other vehicles and pedestrians. The system is called pre-collision warning system and will be introduced in Europe next year on the 2015 Mondeo.

Here’s how it works. The system constantly scans the road ahead using radars and cameras, then adds other inputs like speed and inclination. Once the system has detected an object ahead, it first warns the driver to take action, then takes over and can apply the brakes up to a full stop if necessary. Ford’s pre-collision warning system gains its ability to recognize objects from a database created from real-life testing. Ford safety engineering team covered over 300,000 miles of roads to ensure the system worked flawlessly, and it does.

With the all-new pre-collision warning system , Ford is adding an extra camera nested in the windshield next to the rear-view mirror, allowing for a better viewing angle. However, the system does have some limitations and does not replace driver input. Since the system is fairly new, the cameras have a harder time detecting objects at night or under certain weather conditions.

Although the system is scheduled to be released in only one model next year, the potential for this technology is unlimited. Ford already enjoys a conformable position amongst manufacturers in terms of new safety technology. Ford’s Driver Assist package, which is available in all of their upcoming models, greatly increases customer’s choices in this area. Driver Assist bundles cutting edge improvements like BLIS with Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning with lane-keeping assist, auto-dimming beams and rain-sensing wiper blades.

Stop by Lamarque Ford to check out the new safety features in our Fords, and to test drive American favorites like the F-150, Ford Taurus and 2015 Mustang.

Meet The New 2015 Ford Focus | Lamarque Ford | New Orleans

October 10, 2014 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

Since its introduction in 1998, Ford Focus has turned the compact car market into a competitive and innovative segment where new technologies are born and the newest designs are showcased. For 2015, Ford is introducing the most significant upgrade to Focus since 2012, bringing new design, technology and performance features.

2015 Ford Focus Review Lamarque Ford New Orleans

2015 Ford Focus Design

Back in 2012, Focus was Ford’s first model to join the company’s global initiative, which is aimed at creating a more cohesive global brand with the same product shipped around the globe. Today, Ford has accomplished just that, and the new 2015 Focus is a testament to the global design guidelines.

The new look takes big clues from European models, thanks in part to Ford’s acquisition of Aston Martin and its design team. A redesigned grille gives Focus a more modern and aggressive look, while retaining an elegant profile, with subtle lines flowing back to the rear end. A new appearance package, SE, is now available, as well as new wheels, in sizes varying from 15 to 18 inches.

All-New Focus Technology Improvements

As part of its interior redesign, the 2015 Focus gains new gadgets that make driving a better experience. The most noticeable new feature is its standard rear-view camera, which lets you get a better look when slowly backing up. The center console, also redesigned, houses SYNC and available MyFord Touch for the best hands-free communication experience.

As part of the driver-assist package, the 2015 Ford Focus now includes BLIS, an intelligent system that alerts the driver for oncoming traffic. BLIS uses radars around Focus to detect approaching vehicles on either side, and is now available in most Ford vehicles.

2015 Ford Focus Performance

Focus has expanded its line-up to meet every driver’s expectations. From the standard 2.0 to the Focus Electric, consumers will enjoy riding in a 2015 Focus. The most talked about engine is Ford’s EcoBoost, which combines an effective smaller engine with turbo-chargers, allowing for increased performance and lower emissions and fuel consumption. The 2015 Ford Focus gets its own EcoBoost engine, which uses an efficient 1-liter 3-cylinder engine without compromising power.

Performance enthusiasts will welcome the all-new Focus ST, which packs a turbo-charged 2.0 engine, a six-speed transmission and a new sports tuned suspension.

Stop by Lamarque Ford today to test drive the new 2015 Focus and to check out our great deals and specials.

2015 Ford C-Max Facelift | Lamarque Ford | New Orleans

September 29, 2014 By Matthew Hritz Leave a Comment

The Paris Motor Show is underway and car manufacturers are ready to show off their latest updates. Ford is introducing the re-designed 2015 C-Max minivan in Europe, hoping to bring the new model to the U.S. later this year. Ford has produced the C-Max since 2003 for the European car market and introduced it in the U.S. in 2012. C-Max has proven to be a success since it attracts environmentally conscious minivan customers as it makes the perfect platform for hybrid and diesel models.

The new version introduces C-Max to Ford’s global design language, with the all-familiar grille and front fascia. The 2015 C-Max also gets upgraded ergonomics and a cabin redesign, including a cleaner and more minimalistic center console. For 2015, Ford got rid excess buttons and incorporates MyFord Touch display, which saves space and makes your Ford easier to use than ever.

The 2015 C-Max also addresses noise and stability updates, which make the new vehicle a pleasure to drive. Ford is also including the company’s latest technology, which features cross-traffic alert, park-out assist, and adaptive cruise control.

The European C-Max is introducing a turbo diesel engine, which promises to deliver 120 horsepower in its 1.5 liter version. Ford is also carrying over the 2.0 turbo diesel and 1.0 three-cylinder EcoBoost, as they offer great efficiency without sacrificing power.

Additionally, the 2015 model comes in a larger version, Grand C-Max. The Grand C-Max seats up to seven passengers and includes all the revisions the smaller model gets. There has been rumors about Ford bringing both versions to the U.S., which will make a nice addition to the small minivan market.
