You can only imagine how quickly a car won’t get an approval from most mothers. Unless you have a mother who is a gear head that loves the smell of fumes and wants to see just how much power and torque she can get from her latest sports car, not likely, you will only get her approval if the car is sufficiently safe with record for keeping everyone aboard from getting hurt. Sorry mothers, there is just too much horsepower and fun for us to have on the market today and while some of the European exotics would make obvious choices as cars you don’t want us to drive, here are some that might have slipped past your view but still don’t get your approval.
How Does the Ford Focus RS Give You Value?
The amazing thing we see today is automakers trying to sell us on cars that are extremely expensive but only shave a small amount of time off the speed of a car that you can have for around $40,000. While it’s not likely you will ever see a Ford Focus RS on the same track with any Ferrari or Porsche model, the difference in price for the speed gained puts horsepower and track times at a premium. If you are going to spend a lot of time at the track and want a winner, the investment might make sense, but if you simply want a car that has good power and is lots of fun, the Ford Focus RS is a great choice.
The Hypnotic Car You Must Drive
Think about the car you want to drive and how it might smell and feel. Can you picture it? What car is it? If you have visions of a high speed race car and the fumes from the exhaust that come with taking off on the track as you add burnt rubber to the mix, this won’t be the article for you. While many of us at a young age do love a fast car and want that excitement, the symbol of all things exotic and wonderful about the world would give you visions of a Roll-Royce model to cruise around the streets in and enjoy the country cruises.
Where is the Mazdaspeed?
Normally we expect to see the lineup from Mazda carry forth the “zoom zoom” mantra that has been around for years and continues to be a true way Mazda can show off its love for giving us cars that are quick and decisive on the road. Most of the time this comes in the form of the Miata, which we still get to enjoy, and the Mazda 3 and Mazda 6 both receiving the Mazdaspeed treatments to make them high performance sedans that can be a lot of fun to drive and offer some excitement for us to admire and love.
The Race for Greatness
What is greatness? It seems we keep finding new ways to define what really is great and with the widespread reach of social media many terms are used to define what a finite number of people feel is great. Greatness on a grand scale is not limited to the positive either; when was the last time you heard the term “epic fail”? Most likely it showed up somewhere in your social media feeds just yesterday. As we try to define greatness on a variety of different scales from the good to the bad, something that truly can be considered great may be an item we discuss on a regular basis.
Mazda Just Won’t Let Go; And We Don’t Want them To
Have you ever seen a dog with a bone? You can’t take it away from them if you want to keep all your fingers and they are extremely protective of the bone they want to eat. Mazda seems to be the same way regarding the Wankel Rotary Engine that has been used in the RX-7 and RX-8 for several years, but this engine faces a great deal of regulation restrictions among its many challenges. You might think after so many years of fighting Mazda would just give up on this engine, but we certainly don’t want them to do that at all.
Special Cars that Make Driving Fun
Just thinking of these cars puts a smile on your face with the desire to find an open road or take them to the track. What these cars are called is special or homologations but what they really are is a group of race cars that are allowed to put license plates on them. When you have a car that can take off and lead the way on any race track to offer an amazing drive and impressive features in cars that are built to be a lot of fun to drive, admire and enjoy.
Class Leading in Many Ways
The new 2017 Chrysler Pacifica has been revealed and is in its first stage of production. This will be the new minivan from Chrysler that takes the place of the outgoing Town & Country to be a minivan we can all admire and enjoy. This is a vehicle that has been shown to have the most technological advancements of any minivan and shows us what an updated and modern look should be. In many aspects this vehicle is boasting class leading ratings for many aspects of the vehicle but it does fall slightly short on one very important feature.
2016 Ford Flex: The Urban SUV You Want to Drive
When you look for an SUV most of the time the thought is to find one that is an easy drive with the above the road height you want to be able to head off road. The Ford Flex is not the SUV you buy for heading off road, it’s also not the one you want when you feel like you need a small maneuverable vehicle. While the Flex is maneuverable enough it’s a larger box shape that is awesome on the roads anywhere. You can take this SUV through the snow and rain or you can enjoy the driving of this vehicle on the open road.
The Adoption Process has Begun
When we hear a story of an adoption from another country or from an orphanage we tend to feel a bit warmer in our hearts, with the hope and goodness that this story can offer. In this case, the orphans are the Scion models and the warm feeling is in the fact that Toyota has chosen to continue to develop and sell most of the vehicles that were part of the Scion lineup, rather than clearing out inventory and ending all Scion models in their tracks. The only orphan not to be given a home under the Toyota brand will be the tC, but the rest will come along to the parent brand.
