Ford 2012 Focus in Grand Rapids, Michigan

By early February, the region’s auto buffs will be able to thaw in the glow of chrome and the patina of paint as the 12th annual Michigan International Auto Show rolls back into town. The four-day celebration of wheels, new along with the old and exotic, begins Feb. 4 at DeVos Place, 303 Monroe Ave. NW.

On Feb. 3, the convention center floor makes room for up to 2,000 contributors to sample Michigan wines, nibble treats catered by the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel, bid at a silent auction, and enter a car raffle, all to benefit the Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital Foundation.

On Feb. 4, the show opens to the public. More than 300 vehicles from nearly 40 brands of autos and trucks will be unlocked and ready for dreaming — or trying on for size.

“We have become a tradition for those looking for their next new car,” said John Leese, president of the Grand Rapids New Car Dealers Association.

The practice of opening the cars for vicarious trips around the block is unique to the local show, he said.

Sometimes they are unavoidable, those potholes and damaged road surfaces. You cringe and hold your breath as you are forced to drive right over the obstacle, hoping your vehicle comes through it without incident and that you aren’t too rattled either. But Ford vehicles are put through similar paces long before you’ll ever be behind the wheel and faced with that scenario. Read the rest of this entry »

Grand Rapids’ own Laura Dillivan was one of fifty “test drivers” selected worldwide to test drive the new Ford Focus for six weeks in its Global Focus campaign. As a winner, she’s been given $10,000 to donate to the local charity of her choice, a trip to Spain where she got to spend time behind the wheel of the 2012 Focus with GT2 Champion and Le Mans vet Justin Bell, and most recently, a 2012 Focus to power up her drive for charity. Laura chose Koinonia, a homegrown Grand Rapids aid project that supplies clean solar light to areas of Africa to reduce reliance on kerosene, improve health, and give communities the opportunity for literacy and entrepreneurship. Watch this video of the delivery of her Focus loaner earlier this month, and stay tuned for more updates, including a special evening at Borgman Ford Mazda on April 16th.
