If you've been thinking about purchasing or leasing the 2013 Ford Focus Electric when it appears in dealerships, you're somewhat in luck. Though the new EV isn't yet available in the Cheyenne, WY area, it will be soon, as Ford sent 67 select dealerships in New Jersey, New York, and California the vehicles earlier this month. These markets make up a major percentage of electric vehicle sales in the United States, and they will be test markets for the vehicle. The best news?  The new Ford Focus Electric will be on sale nationwide later this year.

Luxury auto brand LINCOLN has been working tirelessly to polish its customer service image, and it's certainly been keeping all of its promises about creating a better service experience for its drivers. The brand is now collaborating with world-renowned international association of hotel concierges, Les Clefs d'Or to provide this experiences, as well as providing 24/7 access to its online concierge services.

Do you remember that mood ring you or a friend owned when you were younger? Sometimes mood rings surprise you with their accuracy. Other times, you're not sure how the emotional "reading" applies, but it's fun to see the changing colors anyway. Japanese automaker Toyota has been working on mood ring-like vehicles since 2006, but now the company has built a working mood-sensing model from all of the research it's gathered.

Sometimes we all need a little bit of luxury in our lives. One of the simplest ways to get the feeling of being rich and famous for a night is by riding in a limo. And, though these vehicles come in many shapes and sizes, LINCOLN hopes to enter its new LINCOLN MKT into this market when it goes on sale this spring. The new MKT Limo replaces the LINCOLN Town Car, which was a huge player in the limo market for many years but was discontinued in 2011.

If you can remember the 1989 Mazda MX-5, or even if you've heard about its iconic style, then you know why Spradley Barr Motors, located in Cheyenne, WY was ecstatic to hear about its return  for the 2014 year! This sporty, fun car is remembered as one of the best Mazda to ever grace the roads. Although the 1989 model greatly differs from today's Mazda MX-5, it was just as (if not more) impressive, and the 2014 model inspired by it promises to be so as well.

Great news, Hyundai drivers! The 2012 Hyundai Elantra was named "Car of the Year" at this year's Detroit Auto Show. The new Elantra has earned several awards since its debut, but this could possibly be its most impressive achievement to-date!

Reader, are you a fan of the Ford Mustang, or, more specifically, the 2012 Ford Shelby GT500? We have good news for you! Ford recently announced that the 2013 Shelby GT500 Mustang will have the most powerful production V-8 engine in the world. Filled with 650 horsepower (100 more than the 2012 version), and capable of reaching 200 mph (while staying street- legal), the new Mustang will be quite an amazing machine.

Last year, forward-thinking automaker Toyota tried a different kind of end-of-the-year incentive. The company's Shareathon campaign gave consumers who purchased a new Toyota and then tweeted the message a $500 prepaid debit card. This year, the campaign (through Saatchi & Saatchi L.A.) is slightly different. 140 buyers can still register every day at (www.toyota.com/shareathon) and tweet a scripted message. Those visitors who actually buy or lease a new Toyota vehicle by January 3, 2012 will still receive the $500 prepaid card. However, Toyota consumers this time around also have the chance to gain up to a thousand dollars in fifty dollar increments, depending on how often their initial messages are re-tweeted within 48 hours. Everyone who participated in the program will also be registered to win a new 2011 Toyota Prius.

Spradley Barr Motors knows that while there's no better feeling than driving off the lot in your new vehicle for the first time, financing said vehicle can be a nightmare. That's why we're pleased to announce that LINCOLN recently unveiled a new financial services department as a part of the new "LINCOLN Experience."

The overhaul is designed to make LINCOLN stand out as its own unique entity from its Blue Oval parent
