Thursday, January 26, 2012

Hand-Crank Windows and Skidding Tires
Monday, January 16, 2012
I had a startling reminder of just how far economy cars have come in the last several years. I was saddled with a 2009 bare-bones Ford Focus as a temporary ride while my car was being repaired. I jumped into the loaner, which had been delivered to my office, and headed for the parking gate. As I rolled up to the card-reader, my hand fumbled for the power window switch: mistake No. 1.

2011 Ford Flex Titanium AWD Review
Monday, January 02, 2012
When I first saw the Ford Flex in 2008, I have to say I was a bit bummed out. The design of the Flex is not about smooth lines and flowing curves, it's more of a suitcase on wheels. I've heard some compare it to the Mini Traveller (obviously, in a much, much bigger form), but at least the Mini was cute and bite-size. The Flex is big, boxy and brutish. It was then, and it is now.

2011 American automaker report card
Friday, December 23, 2011
Among the Big 3, Chrysler has suffered the most over the past 15 years. Sure, lacklustre sales have compromised its financial health, but what about brand identity? Chrysler used to be HUGE in the '60s, '70s and early '80s. Since then, it has lost its way in the shadow of GM and Toyota. While reliability seldom found a spot in the equation, styling played a big part (well, most of the time).

Ford Gran Torino
Thursday, December 29, 2011
As a 16-year-old kid growing up in the UK, I just loved the red & white Torino with the jacked-up rear end which Paul Michael Glaser drove in the hit 70's TV show Starsky & Hutch, but apparently he didn't view the vehicle with quite the same admiration. In fact, the show's creator originally chose one of his personal favourites, the Chevy Camaro Convertible, but was overruled by production due to the tie-in they enjoyed at the time with the Ford Motor Company.

2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid Review
Wednesday, October 19, 2011
In the world of popular mid-size sedans, the 2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid claims to be the current fuel-efficiency champ. Whether that claim is sustained or not (and it won't, when the 2012 Camry Hybrid will arrive), the Fusion Hybrid is tremendously pleasing to drive and remarkably quiet, yet it's up against some pretty fierce competition such as the Toyota Camry, Kia Optima and Hyundai Sonata to name but a few.
