2010 Ford Mustang Spied at Street Fair The current Mustang was launched in 2004, and built on an all new platform. As Ford wanted to sell it as the cheapest performance car on the market it utilized an archaic, non-independent, solid live-axle rear suspension, incorporating 3 links and a Panhard rod for better control. Plus, a stronger bodyshell, a 31% improvement in chassis rigidity, the front axle being moved forwards (improving the front-rear weight distribution to almost 52:48), and the wheels being pushed further apart, all improved stability, handling and ride. Thus, at the limit, it corners with great confidence (unlike its nervous predecessor), thanks in part to the Panhard rods which keep the rear wheels firmly planted to the road, and the rock solid chassis. In fact, the live-axle is more refined than expected and on a smooth road, you’ll be hard pressed to tell which suspension it uses. It may not have the agility of the very best, but it's not far off. My friend has a 2005 model and complains about the ride. I used a 2008 model but did not agree with his findings.

2009 Toyota Hilux Facelift Revealed Actually it's a quote from a BBC program... It's supposed to be light humour. If you have a problem with that, then that's YOUR Problem!

2010 Ford Mustang Spied at Street Fair Oh yes, Clarkson, Hammond... I do like their show and their humour... BUT, lets face it, they are two of the most lousy drivers you can find, with the best motoring job in the world! Who said life was fair?

2010 Ford Mustang Spied at Street Fair No Mustangs handle well, even when you push them hard around corners... So do a few other American cars I've driven. One I was quite impressed with – close to a Focus handling levels – (as I took a tight-radius, circular motorway slip-road, with a posted max speed of 30 mph onto the I25, at 70 mph, just to see how fast it could do it!!) (Had my mechanic with me, 'You trying to kill me?", he literally screamed!) In fact sometimes I feel American cars get a bad and unjustified press about their handling. Conversely, many (Euro) Toyotas I've driven (with a few exceptions) are much, much worse, but no one ever mentions anything about that!

Mazda MX-5 Facelift Photos Leaked Love it...

Honda Reveals Insight Concept for Paris Thanks to the American consumers, they have made Toyota the biggest manufacturer in the world... Otherwise Toyota would still be half the size of GM!

Surprise! Michael Schumacher Caught Speeding In Germany The guy can drive better at 200 mph (320 km/h) than most Europeans at 100 mph (160 km/h)... So...? ...BUT if he causes an accident or injury, then that's different
