Taking the Details to XS: Ford Rocks The 2014 Edmonton Motor Show

2015 Ford Mustang

As I enter the hall of the Edmonton Expo Centre I was not sure I was in the right place. I Know I arrived a bit early but last year there was quite a bit more waiting. I was hoping this would not be the way the complete show went. An Hour passed and confirmed that there was a lot more to be seen and heard as a Maserati Ghibli strutted her stuff down the corridor, and ever so gently tickled my eardrums with a beautiful exhaust note!

2014 Raptor

Bob Villa took to the podium and after he thanked the many manufacturers for attending and displaying their fine wares he filled us in on what I wanted to hear, this was the second largest auto show in Canada! Today there were 25 2015 Models showing off there goods and well Ford, they brought us a good chunk of that.

Upon entering the Ford booth I was not drawn to what so many have been waiting to see, no I went straight for my one and only true love, The Raptor! ( I can say that as my wife never reads my blogs ) She was sitting pretty in its lovely Ruby Red paint, I could so see myself in one in the future.

2105 F-150

2015 F-150

The bell of the ball though would be a tie here today, a 3 way tie no less. Today Ford Canada was showcasing the eagerly awaited 2015 F150 in all of its military grade aluminium alloy splendor. That's right, Ford has raised the bar yet again and shed 700 pounds in the process, not bad at all, but not quite enough. They have also added the new 2.7 l EcoBoost engine, but this cute little engine knows that it could. It could save you gas, it could give you loads of power, it could benefit you in the weight savings of the whole truck, it could even be one of the best Ford engine designs yet, lets wait and see!

2015 Expedition Platinum

Ford also brought along the new 2015 Expedition, looking quite stunning in it's Platinum trim, with some mild restyling and a change of the engine to a 2.7 l EcoBoost they are following suit of the F-150. They have also given it a new instrument cluster, steering wheel, and a center stack that holds Ford's latest Sync and My Ford touch tech. Add on some other great convenience features like the Ford Truck Apps to help with any mode of off roading or trailering you might have to deal with and this is sure to be a winner.

2015 Mustang

2015 will all where this dash plaque

Then there was this car called the 2015 Mustang. Well the folks in Calgary were none to happy that we saw it here first, but we all know we deserved it. The new mustang was not a disappointment either, with it's European styling fused together with some original Mustang heritage...this one is worth the wait. They paid great attention to the details, the tri-bar lights, the roof line, and the gauge cluster will all take you back. It was no coincidence that this car was redesigned for this year, it was April 9th 1964 when the first Mustang rolled off the assembly line, we are celebrating Mustangs 50th Birthday, and this one came to celebrate with Edmonton!

2015 Lincoln MKC

Lincoln has a looker

Lincoln has a lot to show off also, the all new MKC which was mighty fine. Not wanting to be left out of the quickest growing luxury market segment, the small premium utility segment, Lincoln dove in with the MKC. With the long list of features and some very techie toys I think they should get a fair chunk of the market.

Make sure you stop on by at the Ford Canada booth and check out some of the great things they have going on, the kids can have a talk with Hank and the adults can take a spin around Laguna Seca in the Ford Atlas show truck.
