While it has long ranked among the top automotive brands in terms of the percentage of its customers that opt to lease their new vehicle purchase, Ford has also long enjoyed one of the highest financing percentages of any auto brand, too. That trend continued through Q1 2024, when 82.59 percent of Ford customers opted to finance their vehicle purchase, compared to 17.41 percent that chose to lease instead. This was one of the highest finance rates of any automotive brand, behind only Dodge, in fact, and it was also true of one specific model – the Ford F-150 Lightning.

The NTT IndyCar Series’ midseason shift to hybrid electric powertrains is its biggest technological change since it introduced turbocharged V6 engines in 2012. There’s a lot to try and understand in the changeover, so I’ve tried to come up with as many questions and answers as possible to help in the process.

While some automakers hype up EVs that won't come out for another several years, Toyota does the same with combustion engines. Well ahead of their introduction in production cars, the new four-cylinder ICEs were unveiled as work-in-progress developments at the end of May. Now, the Japanese automaker’s Chief Technology Officer is providing more details about what lies ahead.

Toyota Claims Its New Combustion Engines Are a Game-Changer

Turning heads at a recent auction was a vibrantly restored 1971 Dodge Demon 340. Its Plum Crazy paint gleamed under the lights, highlighting the car’s aggressive design. This wasn’t a pristine factory example but rather a labor of love that melded classic muscle car aesthetics with some unique part choices.

Virginia fans of The Young and the Restless have asked where Elena Dawson (Brytni Sarpy) has been. She has not been seen or mentioned in Genoa City for quite a while.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now.

We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

Ford has made some truly remarkable engines since the company was founded in 1903, and its motors power everything from massive trucks to iconic muscle cars, and track-bound race cars to warplanes and tanks. While it's hard to choose just five engines the U.S. automaker designed and made, we're looking at five class-leading gasoline-powered engines that arguably outshone other contemporary engines across its history. Some were chosen for their reliability, and others for sheer performance or record-breaking specifications. These are engines that Ford no longer makes, but we wish it did still, even if only for the bragging rights of owning new versions of them.

One standout model that has been at the forefront of this technology is the Corolla Hybrid, which comes in four different trims in 2024.
