Ford wants to become America’s leading provider of all-wheel-drive vehicles, reports the Detroit Free Press. The automaker hopes to challenge Subaru ’s decade-old lock on the market for reasonably priced all-wheel-drive vehicles, the report said. “We could be a very dominant player very quickly,” Brett Wheatley, a product marketing and strategy manager at Ford, told the Free Press in a recent interview. “We think this is going to give us a real competitive advantage.” The plan will bring all-wheel-drive to the company’s Ford Fusion , Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ mid-sized sedans in August and to the new Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers this fall.
