Ourisman Ford Stocks Eco-Friendly Cars for Virginia Buyers

Nov. 17, 2011 - PRLog -- Ourisman Ford and Lincoln is the car-buyer’s destination for eco-friendly options in Virginia. Currently in-stock are the EPA-rated 40+ mpg Ford Fusion Hybrid, Ford Fiesta and Ford Focus models. The most fuel-efficient luxury sedan in America, the 2012 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid is also on the lot.

More than a century after the car manufacturer’s incorporation, Ford knows customers want reliable transportation and help reducing their carbon footprints. That is why Ford Motor Company leads as a provider of American-made, eco-friendly car options. New-car buyers’ environmental consciousness becomes more affordable with each Ford model.

Ford introduced the first SUV hybrid, also the first American-made hybrid, to consumers with the 2005 Ford Escape 4X4 Hybrid. In 2010, the popular Ford Fusion Hybrid was awarded “North American Car of the Year” by the Detroit Auto Show, was included in Car and Driver’s “10 Best Cars for 2010,” and also named Motor Trend’s “Car of the Year.”

The company’s concern for ecology and success at creating environmentally-friendly transportation, precipitated a special alliance with the multimedia platform SHFT.

Independent film and TV producer Peter Glatzer and Hollywood actor Adrian Grenier, best-known for the HBO series Entourage, launched the SHFT initiative in 2009. At SHFT.com, the project is described as, “…a mission to curate and position sustainably designed products and ideas and nudge them into mainstream culture. “

Ford values efficient power just as much as their customers do. By joining SHFT, the company encourages a shift in the world culture towards making environmental sustainability commonplace. Contributors to SHFT online feature lifestyle issues like sustainable architecture, cooking with locally-grown produce, energy and, of course, art, music and film. The web magazine’s highlight of sustainable products and the people who create them gives Ford an opportunity to educate consumers about eco-friendly car options and the differences between electric cars, hybrid cars and gas-powered fuel efficient cars.
