This is no ordinary 2017 @Ford #Fusion - the Sport model has 325 hp, 350 lb-ft, AWD, and four exhaust outlets pic.twitter.com/wryGIVRN5V — motortrend (@MotorTrend) May 12, 2016 For Dover shoppers seeking a powerful and sophisticated performance sedan, there is a new player in town -- and it's not German. Ford has its sights set on customers who would typically drive an Audi, BMW, or Mercedes-Benz model with the new 2017 Ford Fusion Sport. "It's not just Fusion buyers who want something hotter," said Wade Jackson, Ford Fusion marketing manager. "Owners of other midsize sedans, along with our own dealers, ask repeatedly. So buyers get a 2.7-liter EcoBoost that makes 325 horsepower and a more impressive 380 pound-feet of torque." All-wheel drive is a standard feature, so expect road-gripping performance in any weather. Perhaps the most appealing factor for those on the fence is an ostensibly trivial detail -- the cup holders. We know what you're thinking -- who cares? But let's be honest, if you have experience with German-designed vehicles, you're used to small irritations like ordering a large soda from the drive-thru, and having to drive with it between your legs because it doesn't fit in the cup holder. The Fusion Sport is just as powerful, more affordable, and it was designed to accommodate the very American habit of eating in the car. Contact Winner Ford for more details, or compare with other models for sale in our new inventory.

The Ford Raptor--then known by its SVT prefix--debuted in 2010, just as the Blue Oval was emerging from the economic downturn. Back then, it proved all of its critics wrong, becoming so popular that its production plant struggled to keep up with demand. Now, it enters its second generation with a new crop of skeptics to silence. The new Raptor is one of the first models of the Blue Oval's new Performance division, which was launched alongside the pickup and the GT supercar in 2015. This autumn, the Raptor will arrive in showrooms--thus showing everyone that an aluminum bodied pickup with a V6 engine is still more than capable of turning boulders to dust with its might. But brawn isn't all this frighteningly fast off-roader has going for it, as you can see in the video above. When the Raptor arrives in dealerships this autumn, we'd be more than happy to let you pour over all of its features. In the meantime, you can contact our Ford dealership in Dover, DE to get updates about when its available.

The #FarmToCar mission is simple: replace petroleum-based plastics with plant-based materials. https://t.co/ETS8NqtqxL — Ford Drive Green (@FordDriveGreen) May 10, 2016 Here in Delaware, soybeans are one of our biggest crops. Did you know that since 2011, every new Ford vehicle built in North America has contained soy? It's part of Ford's commitment to sustainability. Using soy-based foams instead of petroleum-based foam has reduced Ford's annual CO2 emissions by over 20 million pounds, which is great news for the environment. From an economic perspective, it also shields the automaker from fluctuating oil prices, and it brings new revenue streams to farmers. Soy foam is just the beginning of Ford's "farm-to-car" mission. In 2014, Ford added rice-hull-reinforced plastics to the F-150, using rice sourced from U.S. farms. Ford is currently working with H.J. Heinz Company to make bioplastics using tomato skins, stems, and seeds that the ketchup company would otherwise discard as a byproduct.
