Froggin’ in the World of Cars

Despite the fact that an American invented the automobile and that the Japanese (or is it the Koreans and Chinese?) sell the most cars nowadays, Europeans can rightfully claim dominance and originality when it comes to innovations regarding the four-wheeled wonder. European car manufacturers have the genius to incorporate maximum utility, class and excellent performance into their car designs. More importantly, they have the mind to consider whatever special needs and demands may come up.

When the issues regarding fuel-efficiency became hotter than usual, before the hybrids came out into the market, the best way to save on gas (aside from walking or taking the public transportation) was to drive around in cute little compact cars.

In the world of mini cars, The MINI Cooper reigns supreme. Since its release, it has had a reputation for being fun to drive and unbelievably spacious despite appearances. Last year, MINI introduced the Cooper Clubman which has more room than the base model MINI Cooper (mostly in the back seat) but is just as fuel efficient.
The Japanese followed suit and perfected the form and efficiency of the compacts.

The latest Ford Focus is a fuel efficient car… although it’s big no surprise to know that the fuel efficient incarnation of the Focus was largely designed by Ford’s European division.

Some cars are simply, for lack of a better word- disposable. Not because you did not ‘pay enough’ for it to last a long time (although admittedly, this happens as well) but because they did not turn out to be sturdy enough for your daily routine and occasional challenges, whatever they may be. But enough about the ‘rotten batch’ let’s take look into the list of some of the most trustworthy vehicles ever designed. Excluding the Moon Buggy, the Pope Mobile and armored cars, of course…

Land Rover… Range Rover… these Rovers are the full package. They are spacious enough to carry you, your family, you camping gear and perhaps some of your closest friends. These amazing rides are easy on the eyes but relentless and tough.

The Ford 150 is a monster, no matter how you look at it. But it’s a monster that a lot of people love. The size and the entire bulk appear menacing but the looks are only trying to live up to the performance and utility of this vehicle.

The Japanese try to respond to the same demands by designing gorgeous looking trucks that sometimes even out-perform their Western counterparts. Toyota and Nissan are the two leaders in this field.
