More tomorrow when I can get more on the 2013 Fusion.

Got to play around with the latest version of MyFord Touch in a 2013 Ford Flex. The new system is awesome and quite fast.

Ford also announced a new AppLink ... app for Sync. Now you'll be able to listen to NPR shows on-demand. For those who listen to NPR, anyways.

Here's my report on the Ford booth at CES.

First off... AppLink! There's a total of five new apps coming for AppLink, in addition to NPR, announced earlier this week:

• iHeartRadio: Access over 50,000 online and regional radio stations all over the US!
• TuneIn Radio: Like iHeartRadio, with many international terrestrial radio stations!
• Slacker Radio: More online streaming radio options here!
• Roximity: Roximity is a location-aware app that alerts you to deals and events near you.
• Scout by TeleNav: This is a navigation app that will offer more to people with MyFord Touch screens versus the screen on the Fiesta, but the rep didn't have too much information on how the implementation would filter to other Sync systems.

I also sat in the Focus ST. The seats are very comfortable and highly supportive. Daddy likes.

Same for the 2013 Taurus SHO.

I think the general thoughts I've heard are that it's a good thing, too. I am very much digging the styling here, and I've been a fan of the work by Aston Martin of late.

This is possibly the connection between Aston Martin and Jaguar and Ford's current design language:

Did you "enter to win" anything? I definitely would enter into ALL THE THINGS! If it were me. (: Great pictures. Looks like a lot of fun.

Still όber jelly!

Expect the Focus ST to be in the mid $20s
