Ken Block's Ford Fiesta Is Ridiculous Ford Performance teamed up with professional rally racer Ken Block to create this crazy short film of him darting and drifting through Dubai with his custom-modded Ford Fiesta rally car. To be blunt, what he pulls off with his Fiesta is nothing short of incredible - including a nifty scene of him drifting around an actual plane!
Pretty Darn Well. Canadian winters can be pretty crazy. But we also don't like being left out with performance cars. Maybe it's time someone came out with a car that is the envy during summertime, yet can also shred through winter. Maybe it's time for Ford to introduce the brand new all-wheel-drive 350-horsepower Focus RS. We knew that the Focus RS would be coming out in Edmonton, but we also just got word that the Ford Focus RS will be the first car in North America to offer a winter tire and wheel option as a factory accessory. The Winter Wheel & Tire Package will be the first time an...

The New 2017 Ford Fusion V6 Sport will come with new computer-controlled shock absorbers Canadian cities are getting better every year at filling in potholes, with more and more of municipal budgets going towards maintaining crumbling roads due to the pretty crazy Canadian climate. A stat from AAA shows that pothole damage causes U.S. drivers approximately $3 billion a year. We didn't find a comparable stat for Canada, but the city of Edmonton budgets an estimated $50 million a year to properly maintain the road network, which includes filling in over half a million potholes. That's a lot o...
Electric cars (EVs or electric vehicles) come in different types for different usage scenarios, like short local trips, or long daily commutes. Understanding the differences will allow you to make the choice best suited for your lifestyle. Hybrid – No plug, just impressive efficiency. It is powered by gas or battery (or a combination thereof). The battery is only charged internally. Hybrid cars have two sources of power that work together – a gas engine and a battery-driven electric motor. The hybrids automatically switch between gas and electric mode (or both) to power the vehicle as need...
An out-of-alignment car is a common result of everyday driving, but what does that really mean? The term alignment doesn't really refer to your car's wheels, instead it refers to the suspension. As part of normal driving, parts of your car's suspension may become worn, and springs can become stretched out. Even a small accident or bumping a curb can disrupt your suspension, knocking some of the highly calibrated components off-kilter, making your wheels sit at improper angles. An alignment restores these angles to their correct measurements, making sure that your wheels sit straight. The f...
At Koch Ford Lincoln we enjoy hearing stories about our customers and their favorite car experiences. Today we spoke with Mei who bubbles over with enthusiasm with her 2013 Escape Titanium. She speaks glowingly of her baby (she has a total of three babies – her Escape, her dog and her boyfriend). Although she refused to rank them, she described them as having three “#1A” babies! Mei loves the way her SUV handles – the AWD is one feature she would never do without. She has never had an issue with traction, losing control or getting stuck, which were problems she faced previously with her ...
The new Ford F-150 is a game changer, and could significantly alter the way trucks are manufactured. 2015 ushers in the era of premium metals in trucks, as Ford is now exclusively using aluminum in the body of its best-selling F-150 pickup (available at Koch Ford Lincoln.) Until recently, aluminum bodied panels have only been common in luxury vehicles; the use of aluminum in F-150, marks it as the first in its class. What is so great about aluminum and why the change? The answer is higher performance! The use of aluminum drops the weight by 700 pounds, increasing the F-150’s fuel efficiency...
