Ford reported a second-quarter profit of $2.6 billion — its best performance since the first quarter of 2004. Ford said the quarter, with results higher than analysts had estimated, sets the stage for an even better 2011 as each business unit, including  North American automotive operations, showied a significant improvement.

"We delivered a very strong second quarter and first half of 2010 and are ahead of where we thought we would be despite the still-challenging business conditions," said Ford President and CEO Alan Mulally in a statement issued Friday morning.

CNET Car Tech reviews the 2011 Ford Shelby GT500.

Unleaded gasoline: $2.67 per gallon. Extra cost to cut fuel consumption with hybrid technology: priceless.

For Ford Motor Co.'s Lincoln upscale division, however, the definition of "priceless" means "no cost." Lincoln announced today that the price of its 2011 MKZ Hybrid is the same as a standard MKZ with a conventional V6: $35,180.
