We will have the blue oval canopy shipped directly to the winner. If that is what they want.
The researchers at J.D. Power and Associates have awarded the 2010 Ford Mustang highest ranking vehicle in its Midsize Sporty Car segment. News of the award followed the release of the company's 2010 Initial Quality Study Results. The 2010 Mustang received a Power Circle Rating of 5 (the highest available) in all categories: overall quality, overall mechanical quality, powertrain quality-mechanical, interior quality-mechanical, features & accessories quality-mechanical.
If you've purchased a new car recently, you've probably received a J.D. Power questionaire in the mail. The study is based on responses from more than 82,000 purchasers and lessees of new 2010 model-year cars, trucks, and sport utility vehicles. All were surveyed after 90 days of ownership.
Excluding luxury makes, Ford was the No. 1 brand in this year's study, which measured 228 potential problems during the first three months of ownership of 2010 model-year vehicles. Ford, including Volvo, had 12 models rank in the top three in their segments -- more than other automakers.
The Dodge Challenger came in 2nd place, followed by the Chevrolet Camaro, then the Hyundai Genesis Coupe. Having spent quite a bit of time behind the wheel of the 2010 lineup, I think these results are pretty fitting. Ford created a winner in the new Mustang. See all the results here.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Mustang buyers will soon be able to get flames on their fenders right from the dealer, no fancy artistic skills needed.
Ford Motor Co. is bringing out a line of custom vinyl graphics car buyers can order to give their car or truck the appearance of a custom paint job without the paint.
The carmaker originally launched the Web site, fordcustomgraphics.com, back in November, but it only offered graphics for the Fiesta subcompact car which goes on sale in a few weeks.
The site will soon begin offering graphics for the Ford Mustang and the F-150 truck, both popular vehicles which are commonly customized by owners, Ford announced Wednesday.
"You click on your vehicle and its exterior color, select the graphics you like, and the Web site will show you exactly how the designs will look on your car or truck," said Jim Abraham, Ford's licensed accessories manager, in a company announcement.
The Web site was created by Original Wraps, Inc., which also provides the vinyl graphics.
Graphics for all other Ford models will be available by the end of this year, a Ford spokesman said. About 50 designs will be for created each model.
Designs to the Fiesta include urban skyline images, parrot wings and various shapes and patterns.
The designs, which are basically enormous decals, are installed by the dealer and, unlike paint, can be easily removed without damaging the underlying paint, Ford said. The designs are covered by a 3-year, 36,000 mile warranty.
Prices for the graphics range from $100 to $1,200, depending on the size and complexity of the image.
Toyota offers similar vinyl graphics on its youth-oriented Scion models
