The 2007 Ford Crown Victoria traces its roots to the 1980 model year when Ford adopted the name for a high-line trim level on the full-size LTD sedan. As a side note, Ford also used “Crown Victoria” for a more advanced version of the mid-1950s Fairlane coupe. Soon after that 1980 model, all of Ford’s full-size sedans became known as LTD Crown Victorias. The Crown Vic’s model run has continued uninterrupted since then, with only one major makeover taking place, in 1992, which is when the “LTD” moniker was dropped.

The Ford Focus remains the most entertaining regular family hatch to drive but recent arrivals from VW, Vauxhall and Honda have run it increasingly close. The ST battles for fast hatch class honours in a segment full of talent. Hot hatches now pack 200 plus bhp in their pseudo shopping-car body shells and levels of performance have never been higher in this price bracket.
As the Ford Edge glids along the George Washington Memorial Parkway you’ll notice that it doesn’t have spinning rims or a booming sound system. The bling in this SUV is the technology. The vehicle runs almost silently. It needs no gas and releases no polluting exhaust like most vehicles.
The Ford F-150 comes in a broad range of models, yet they all seem to have nicely balanced suspensions that make them enjoyable to drive and well-designed, comfortable cabs. They offer a quiet and refined ride over dirt roads, rough pavement and freeway slabs. Yet they also offer controlled handling, with a minimum of body roll in corners.
When it comes to vehicles, downsizing seems to be the smartest thing to do these days. Big cars turns into big bills and those unwilling to fork out for the luxury of hauling a big lump of automotive real estate about now have some varying choices. Gone are the days when small cars were about as much fun as a thumb in the eye.
