If you were to ask us at Gwinnett Place Ford what we enjoy most about our midsize SUV, the 2016 Ford Edge, we'd have only one word to offer in reply:

Everything. Stylish yet substantive, the Edge, in our estimation, is the very definition of a do-it-all daily driver.

And we think you'll see just what we mean after watching the following video, a review of the Edge from Autotrader commentator Jabari Jones:

Though we at Gwinnett Place Ford have love for each and every member of our automotive family, there are, admittedly, some that tend to stand out just a bit more than the rest. And, by all accounts, the 2016 Ford Mustang -- our resident rear-wheel-drive racer -- is one such vehicle.

Ford is working to refine its vehicles' cabin acoustics by making wind tunnel testing faster and easier than ever before. Rather than relying strictly on the $50 million aerodynamics laboratories where Ford normally does testing for all of its vehicles, the automaker has MacGyvered a portable wind tunnel out of a pair of 53-foot shipping crates.

Now aeroacoustic testing can be done in the field, right at the assembly plant, so any refinements that need

We're going to share with you two secrets well-known to lighting experts.

1. Color of light has a "temperature"
2. Lighting can affect your mood

Artists use the terms "cool colors" and "warm colors" to describe the feeling certain hues evoke. Put a blue filter over a photograph, and suddenly the subjects look chilly. Put an orange filter over that same photograph, and it looks like summertime.

The holiday season is upon us! Christmas music already fills the air, department stores are stocked and filled with bustling shoppers, and decorations are going up inside and out. Of course the most important tradition is tree decorating. To some this may mean assembling an artificial tree with lights already included, but to others this involves trekking out to the woods to cut down the most perfect balsam that can be found.

If you're preparing to go find your real tree, allow Ford to give you some helpful dos and don'ts for how to safely bring it home…

However, in some instances it can be difficult for the driver to see left or right, like when approaching an intersection. Ford has a solution available on the 2016 Ford Explorer known as the 180-degree front camera.
