The 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer - The Marriage of Aeronautic and Nautical Design

The 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer symbolizes a complete retooling of the inside and outside of the revered ride. Mitsubishi obviously took some motivation from it’s aircraft collections with the upgrade of the Lancer’s front-end to provide its all-new front fascia which Mitsubishi called a “shark-nosed” look. Regardless of whether you want to use nautical or aeronautic metaphors there is no doubt that the 2008 Lancer is a better looking car than its forerunner. The 2008 is built on an all new, FWD foundation with many similarities to those used on the Dodge Caliber. As such, the 2008 Lancer furnishes a wider wheelbase to provide a more constant and stable ride.

The 2007 Sport Trac - A Classic Hybrid in the Non-Environmental Way



The 2007 Sport Trac has been much maligned in previous times but experts and lovers as well were satisfied with the 2007 upgrade (and if they only realized how excellent the carbon fibre kit looks they might have liked it even more). The SportTrac, for those of you who may not know, is a hydbrid although not in the way many of us have become acquainted to in the last decade. Rather, it’s a mixture of an SUV and a pick-up–sort of like an El Camino but much more sophisticated.

The 2007 Ford Explorer Sport Track is a highly effective and flexible automobile being well-thought out and designed. Its smooth exterior design is equalled by its optionally available V8 engine and the strong, mechanized feel of the inside styling. Ideal for a dash kit, the transmission selector is monstrously over-sized and encompassed by a brilliant chrome band which matches the identical trim on the vents. The blockish style though creatively attractive left some testers thinking about the real ergonomic value of the design. Fortunately for me I get to have the pleasure of gawking at the images without having to worry about the comfort inside its spacious cabin.
