Ladies and Their Cars Burning Up The Boulevard in 2012 By Jill Funke

Ford F-150

While pickup owners have traditionally been mostly men, the Ford F-150 attracts more and more interest from their fairer sex each year. Factors for this interest include the pick-up’s versatility, as the F-150 offers different cab and cargo bed combinations that were created to fit the unique needs of all owners, male or female. Other attractive features include a flat rear floor, and a step to help accommodate access to the cargo bed. The 2012 F-150 sees the Sync system capabilities grow to include smartphones.

Ford Edge

Those in the market for a crossover SUV are drawn to the Ford Edge for its style, ride and high-tech features. The five-passenger Edge demonstrates more agility during corner turns and maneuvering in tighter spaces than what would be expected from a midsize SUV, and great construction keeps the ride enviably quiet. Safety is arguably a priority for the Edge, which scored the highest possible rating in Insurance Institute for Highway Safety frontal-offset, side-impact and roof strength tests.
