FORD GT
Ford's new super GT on centre stage at the 2017 Toronto Show gleams is a show case of Ford's design capability and its new use of emerging and current vehicle technology. It is s truly beautiful vehicle which is now available at show rooms across Ford's global dealership network. It's closest competitor is the Acura NSX. After that, the vehicle would hope to take on the Nissan GT or possibly the Audi R8.
FORD MUSTANG
The New Ford Mustang GT is still feeding auto enthusiasts with its consistent v8 and v6 power plants that give you lots of confidence on an open highway. These vehicles may not be Porsche Beaters but they are easy to maintain with excellent paint and good build quality that includes a solid gear box. It comes equipped with the expected middle market or low end coupe accoutrements except satellite navigation is an option. This is not the case with a vehicle like the Toyota Corolla where satellite navigation is a welcome standard feature. It is also a standard feature on an Audi A4. But, maybe you need a getaway vehicle to beat the average cop cruiser after a bank robbery and this Ford Mustang might fit your bill. You only have seven seconds; remember?Lee-Ann Archer who is spending time in Toronto in the Ajax area enjoys the design of the Ford.
Aston Martin DB11
There is very little to say about Aston Martin after the Vanquish except that nano technology and better build quality has helped to provide a confident, solid, sound and beautiful finished product that feels as reassuring in one's driveway and on the motorway as a decent Omega watch on one's wrist; that, without a doubt, it works and will work when put to the test. Early reports indicate that a drive in the north on a rainy and muddy road could be disastrous for the vehicle and the engine due to a quirky new hood design that does not shelter the vehicle from the unforeseen reality of mud getting into the engine compartment. It really shouldn't and as a result, a less passionate Zagato, New four seat Vanquish or DBS may have to suffice if you are in the market until this design lacuna is addressed.
Chevrolet Malibu
The Chevrolet Malibu is one of the oldest vehicle model types in North America. Its newest variation would satisfy shoppers who usually frequent Asian or possibly European dealers for a decent mid-sized vehicle. The Malibu wins for price and after a long thought about planned obsolescence in vehicle production and marketing, nobody really trusts manufacturers whose vehicles only last four years; just when the lease expires or when you finally finished making the last payment on a purchase finance agreement so the issue of reliability and durability seems to have been resolved in favor of more car sales and more market presence. If you don't understand, then understand hegemony and spell KIA or Hyundai who kicks GM's rump for profit on an annual basis and the manufacturer's respect the vehicle when you come for an oil change. They will never tell you that you need a new engine when your engine was working without a doubt before the oil change. But, this has been the experience of many GM owners regardless of race who had finished paying off their vehicles. Do you understand? We don't need your lack of education. We don't need your lack of thought control. So, GM grow up or leave us vehicle buyers and the vehicle business alone. Tell Green and Ross alone. As such, the issue may not have been only the vehicle but quality of personnel. Get a multiple choice test with ten questions based on the ten commandments. If they fail, call the police and then they will be taken to the gas chambers in the midwest as set up by Obama who said "obey" but who could not really read although he could rap in his unique linguistic intelligence as discovered in the ghettos from whence he came. As such, rapping is very deceptive; very deceptive. But, if you do like rap then try Pharcyde or Tribe Called Quest. It's rather classy actually. But, don't watch the videos since you will fell sad and abused. This is good for North America and for these vehicles whose French Creole founders named Chevalier are quite pleased to see the vehicle and the brand get back to its roots. It might be the taxi cab and government vehicle of choice instead of a the Camry. It looks like it should be. The lesson for GM is that its senior in the car industry, Volkswagen is really only focused on two brands with Volkswagen and Audi and Volkswagen and Audi in Germany is Volkswagen and Audi anywhere else in the world. In addition to these two brands, they have several families or small niche companies that they may assist with their bespoke vehicle manufacturing. Some of these companies have been taken over and remain quite distinct from the main Volkswagen brand. Opel( GM's brand in Germany) could help GM with straightening out the essence of a truly globally marketable product with some shared insight from the Opel Insignia. GM can continue with its trucks and pick ups, one or two of the small Cadillacs that are quite intelligent looking and certainly the Corvette. A four door Corvette could be a genius project and the new Camaro in all Black certainly shows no signs of shame or embarrassment in its design heritage or its existence.

AUDI Q7
The Audi A7 is one of the most flexible vehicle designs. You may have noticed that most if not all Audis or Volkswagen products whether or not they are hatch backs have a rear folding seat. It almost seems as if the vehicles were designed for IKEA(TM) customers. This Audi A7 is the golfers coupe vehicle since the vehicle can take two sets of clubs. It is perfect with the valets and may be the choice vehicle if you wish to be chauffeured. The vehicle was designed much like a greeting card; that is in thinking of you at this time and in your need for comfort after a long and hard day's work. The only issue today with Audi is the same resounding issue from a previous generation; doubt. the Audi 5000's suffered recall issues and today the issue with Audi is that that many of the mechanics act like the brand is lipstick Either you wear it and want it or you don't but don't ask questions and don't tell them how you think it should work. It is just a cosmetic. If you don't want this cosmetic approach to auto sales and service, then you could opt for the resoundingly and widely respected Volkswagen product or the more upscale Porsche products that live on service and the manufacturer's reputation to satisfy loyalty to his product. It's like a genuine Christian ministry; the Porsche service. They believe in the power of resurrection and your vehicle will drive again. The Audi service leaves much to be desired in this regard; hence the doubt. If these options do not saitsfy, then you could opt for the more regal and less frugal German rivals with similarly priced products from BMW, OPEL and BENZ.
