There's been a buzz around the showroom here at John Bleakley Ford as we are all anticipating the arrival of the first mass-marketed electric car from Ford. Of course, we're talking about the 2013 Ford Focus Electric and thankfully for drivers in the Lithia Springs, Atlanta, and Alpharetta areas, we don't have to wait much longer.

When Ford looked to spice its lineup up, especially its SUV models, the American automaker developed and released the Ford Flex in 2009. Today, the Flex remains a unique and expressive SUV, but Ford wanted to improve and refine the head-turning vehicle. It did just that with the 2013 edition of the Flex.

You won't hear any qualms from us here at John Bleakley Ford when others say Ford Super Duty trucks are tough. And we aren't the only ones who have this opinion, either. In an effort to design the next-generation Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) for the United States Army and Marine Corps, one military technology firm believed in the Super Duty's performance so much, they put one of its engines under the bulletproof hood of their JLTV prototype.

Models like the Ford Fiesta and Fusion Hybrid might be training heads right now for their incredible fuel economy, but there's a new player in the Ford lineup that's set to impress with its green credentials. That would be the 2012 Ford Focus Electric, and we here at John Bleakley Ford can't wait to get our hands on it.

Specifically, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has given an official fuel…

Happy belated Pi Day everyone! Sure it was almost a week ago, but we here at John Bleakley Ford are still marveling at the unique ways that people around the world found to celebrate it. Take Ford, for example. They teamed with the popular link-sharing site, Reddit in order to have some math-related fun.

Specifically Ford Fusion engineers posted 42 different math equations to Reddit every three minutes and fourteen seconds (get it, 3.14…

Whoever said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery may be onto something here... It would seem that a Chinese automaker is quite impressed with the Ford F-150. So much so, in fact, that they've decided to make their own. Only they're not working with Ford on it... Or even giving them credit for the design. Instead, they're simply taking the exterior look of the lauded American-made truck and pasting it…

Just think about it. Would it really be that big of a stretch? We already know that the upcoming Ford C-Max hybrid and C-Max Energi plug-in are heading out way. What's more, the forthcoming Ford B-Max is actually based on a platform that we are quite familiar with. And that would be the Ford Fiesta.

Wait, wait, wait... You don't know what the Ford B-Max is yet? Right, we should probably take the…

Continuing our theme of green production, we here at John Bleakley Ford are pleased to bring you another update from our favorite American automaker. Of course, we can guess what you're thinking. What did Ford do this time? After all, we are talking about the company that makes rubber out of dandelions, gaskets out of soy and tire rubber, and who recently reduced their water usage by 30 percent. It seems as though Ford…

Has anyone ever scolded you for leaving the water running while brushing your teeth at night? It seems as though someone scolded the people at Ford for using too much of the world's most valuable natural resource in the production of their vehicles. What's more impressive, however, is the fact that it seems as though Ford listened!

What we here at John Bleakley Ford are talking about is the fact that the American…

There are a number of reasons why we here at John Bleakley Ford love the Focus. The compact model from Ford is efficient, well designed, and reliable. But as if there weren't enough reasons already to love it, Ford is giving us one more in 2012. More specifically, the American automaker is giving as an electric reason to love it.

Too cheesy? Alright, we'll just get to the point. In 2012 Ford is…
