newborn donkey
26 Sep 2005Jeremy Clarkson on the new Mustang:
How come America’s massive car industry can’t make what is basically beans on toast? A light, zesty, pine-fresh car with an engine at the front, a simple foldaway roof in the middle and rear-wheel drive at the back? Lotus can make a sports car using nothing but a melted-down bathtub and the engine from a Rover. Alfa Romeo can make a sports car using steel so thin you can read through it, and an engine that won’t start. Then there was Triumph, which made a sports car even though its entire workforce was outside the factory warming its hands around a brazier and chanting.
So what’s America’s problem?
…
But by European standards this car is rubbish. Its engine has wasteful, unused capacity that turns fuel into nothing, it couldn’t get from one end of a country lane to the other without running out of brakes and it handles like a newborn donkey.
There’s more, too. It’s got a gruff engine note, its interior has the panache of an Afghan’s cave and . . . and . . . and I can’t go on.
I don’t think he likes it.
Well he literally expressed himself on that. I have nothing against European cars and definitely nothing against Ford coz i actually own one. This new muscle car, is considered “the most powerful factory-built” Mustang, read on Ford Parts Experts. The performance and the exterior of this car is what we should watch out for.
