Jim Hackett announced today that he is stepping down as CEO of Ford Motor Company, barely three years on the job. Formerly a CEO at office furniture manufacturer Steelcase, he succeeded ex-Mazda man Mark Fields at Ford. Hackett’s tenure at Ford was rocky. He had no experience with the automotive business but Executive Chairman Bill Ford was eager to have someone outside the company to transform the highly-traditional Ford. The results weren’t good, which probably explains his earlier-than-expect

Forget your Bugatti Chiron or 740 PS Volkswagen Golf, the Ford Focus is in fact the fastest car in the world. That’s exactly what an Italian woman woke up to when she was sent a speeding fine claiming she zipped past a speed trap at 703 km/h in a 70 km/h zone. That’s almost the cruising speed of a Boeing 747 and probably broke a couple of rules, so she was fined EUR 864 and docked 10 points off her licence. Putting two and two together we know that it’s caused by a faulty camera, but bureaucracy

Finally, the 2021 Ford Bronco has been unleashed to the world. This after years of teasing, a retro concept car, and a police chase that made it more famous than it could have ever been. Apart from being the media sensation from a certain trial of the century, the Bronco was Ford’s capable 4x4 that could conquer anywhere and everywhere. The latest one seems ready to pick up what the other iconic horse of Ford’s stable had left off. The 2021 Bronco is available in three variants, the classic 2-do

As a company, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) have seen better days. Yes, the company still enjoys a strong market presence, especially in 4x4s and it’s still the only brand that’s in a position to challenge the Toyota Hilux's dominance, but it’s safe to say that company have long passed its peak.

What do you do if you own a Ford Everest but want yours to stand out from the rest? Perhaps you can completely change the look of your car to mimic the iconic Ford F-150 Raptor, just as Thailand’s TTN Hypersport did. The Ford Everest is based on the platform as the Ford Ranger pickup, just as the Toyota Fortuner is to the Toyota Hilux. It’s a bit hard to spot the Everest in Malaysia because its rather pricey.

Believe it or not, but Ford really does have a dedicated laboratory for studying and creating artificial bird poop. Formulating artificial bird poop is just one of the efforts Ford employs to research how to make car paint resistant to the corrosive elements in bird poop. We all know that bird poop can cause serious damage when it comes in contact with car paint. This inescapable problem is especially bad for Malaysians as temperature is a major factor of the damage that bird poop can cause to o

When Ford Performance unleashed the Ford Ranger Raptor, many were disappointed that the pick-up truck came with a 2.0-litre twin turbo diesel engine and lacks the bite of the F-150 Raptor’s V6. One company recently decided to do just that by fitting the epic 3.5-litre V6 engine into the Ranger Raptor. To recap, the Ford Ranger Raptor is the smaller and tamer version of the Ford F-150 Raptor. Thanks to its 20-foot-long body and 3.5-litre twin-turbo Ecoboost V6 engine that dispenses 456 PS and acc
