If you're shopping the hot hatchback class for your next vehicular purchase, we here at Crown Ford think you might like to save a space on your short list for ours, the 2017 Focus RS.

And why's that, you wonder?

That answer, as it turns out, can be found in the clip below. Team up with AutoGuide.com Road Test Editor Dan Ilika to learn of the Focus RS's best qualities:

Exquisitely appointed, the sole trim level of the Focus RS is all that and a bag of chips!

Standard equipment includes a 350-horsepower turbo four-cylinder engine…

Ford is no stranger to performance, and they even have their own division for it with models like the Focus RS, Raptor, and others. But the 2017 Fusion Sport isn’t a part of that—it’s a midsize sedan that stands out on more than just its looks. With 325 horsepower, 380 lb-ft of torque, and all-wheel drive, it’s the most powerful option in the segment.

These days, the crossover has mostly replaced the midsize sedan as America’s go-to family vehicle. If you’re one of the many that’s turned to their added capability, ride height, and cargo volume for your next car, the 2017 Ford Escape is recently updated and has numerous features—standard and additional—that pushes it ahead of the pack.

Since the second generation 2017 Ford Raptor debuted in the autumn, the automotive press hasn’t been able to get enough. In one of their most thorough (and daring) videos yet, Motor Trend enlisted Ken Block to give us a look at just what this new off-road pickup is capable of. The answer is quite a lot.

Two model years into its life, the benefits of the Ford F-150’s aluminum skin and steel frame are practically beyond reproach. The Blue Oval’s half-ton truck remains America’s favorite, and it seems to keep getting better. While you’ll find five broad reasons to own it in the video above, the devil’s in the details.

Congrats @Ford for being named one of the MOST trusted brands in America! https://t.co/QkdEKexq6n pic.twitter.com/uo2MdDjPbo

How do you visually depict the strength that underlies 7,630 lbs. of payload? What about the durability to tow up to 32,500 lbs. without breaking a sweat? What goes into building a high-strength steel frame that complements the 440 horsepower and 925 lb.-ft. of torque under the 2017 Ford Super Duty's hood?

If you’ve ever been to Wisconsin, you may have heard of Spring Green. The small town is famous for the landmark, Taliesin, built by Frank Lloyd Wright. It’s also the location where the auto aficionados, the Ringbrothers, set up shop. The duo—Mike and Jim Ring—have been attracted to cars since their childhood. Their father owned a gas station and they loved to hang out there.

The brothers now have a shop dedicated to solely custom car creation.

Those who love muscle cars have long since gravitated towards the legendary Ford Mustang. Now in its tenth generation, the seminal performance model has won the hearts and minds of drivers on both sides of the pond. Only there's one catch: Europeans haven't been able to drive this model until now.
