Please
join Ford Motor Company and Nuance Communications, a leader in voice and
language technologies, to explore global trends in social, technological,
economic, environmental and political arenas that shape consumer values,
attitudes and behaviors. Ford and Nuance will highlight why the Ford SYNC and
MyFord Touch voice-enabled in-car systems have been so successful, with Ford
engineers will also provide an overview on some the additional technological
enhancements found on the all-new Escape and Fusion.
The Small Utility segment has a tremendous amount of life going into this
decade. Baby boomers are purchasing with a younger and more affluent taste in
cars. The Gen Y and Millenials, or “Gillenials” (35 to 45) are looking at the
beginning of family formation. When you start taking a look at the
intersection, you find a vehicle that will meet the needs of both of these
cohorts.
The Ford Escape has become America’s SUV. It is currently the industry sales
leader, with over 2 million units on the road today. The all-new 2013 Escape
will sustain the nameplate’s popularity, in part, because it is following
consumer trends of today and tomorrow.
With seven must-have technologies, including a Lane Keeping System, adaptive
cruise control, active park assist and the voice-enabled MyFord Touch® powered
by Nuance, the all-new Ford Fusion shows how Ford is delivering features
customers truly want and value. The fact that customers can choose from
Fusion’s widest-ever portfolio of fuel-efficient powertrains including
EcoBoost™, hybrid and plug-in hybrid engines; automatic and manual transmission
offerings; and auto start stop technology truly illustrates the ‘Power of
Choice’ that Ford is providing its customers.
Registration includes appetizers and beverages, come early and bring your
business cards.
