Ford Territory Car Review

It is time for our family to improve a bigger car, so I decided to try a Ford Territory.

Ford took the territory of the local sales center and was given a summary of an eager young salesman. I'm not really a technical person and while I nod politely when they reported on the dynamic stability control, only a prick my ears when I hear the trash removable rear seat Ford Territory.

These things (and the fact that it is dishwasher safe! ) What is important when you have a family, so I start to listen with interest when the sales rep informs us that the new Ford Territory has been developed in conjunction with a series of focus groups in the family throughout Australia?

Apparently one of the main requests was for more storage capacity and Ford has responded with the territory with 30 compartments. I'm already thinking ahead to travel in a relatively organized with toys, books, DVDs, bottles, wipes, lunch boxes, cameras, etc. stored carefully.

One of my concerns is moving in a big car, but Ford's territory does not look or feel like a truck driver. I have said has been tested extensively in Sydney, Melbourne and other specific parts of Australia to make sure it was OK for crowded city streets, congested roads, wide roads open. I feel comfortable to drive away which is always important - and my husband says he knows. The other key feature I like is the reversing camera. The camera is automatically activated when the car is engaged in reverse so you can see exactly what is behind us.

Ford decided to take the land away to the coast for a few days. Packing the car is easier than many compartments immediately and significantly reduced the bags. Apart from the 30 compartments (including 10 drink holders) there is a zippered compartment underneath the driver's seat and hide our SLR camera that security issues - something that always worries about travel.

Also quick to point out that all carpets are finished in plastic on one side and carpet on the other for wet clothes or towels not avoid staining the upholstery.

The theater-style seating has been developed for the family and our son loves. The rear seats are slightly higher than the front seats in an effort to provide better vision and help reduce car sickness. The DVD is there, although I must admit that I find it hard to see the rear view window, when I was down.

I would say that the territory conquered by Ford - to suit our family. It is easy to drive and has been developed for a growing family to see us there for a long

Automotive Concept Cars

Concept cars is a term that the majority of car owners or drivers know nothing about. I had always thought that a concept auto was the clay model that is made for a new car style. That's nowhere near close, because concept cars are actual real cars built and ready to drive. A concept vehicle is a show car or prototype meant to be driven around to showcase a new concept, style, technology, etc.

Concept vehicles are usually shown at the big motor shows throughout the world. They're shown to consumers to gauge their reactions to radical design changes or concepts. The idea of the concept or show car was developed by the GM designer Harley Earl. The concept auto is a real car, but it never goes into production directly. It would have to changed for safety, practicality and costs to be a production vehicle instead of just a concept vehicle.

Concept cars have extreme or radical engines, designs, materials, layouts, doors or things not found on production cars. Most concept cars never get past the scale model or computer drawings. A small numbers of concept vehicles are actually fully functional and some can't even move faster than 10 mph safely. After the concept vehicle is done being used, the cars are usually destroyed but some survive in company museum or in storage. The 1954 concept car Lincoln Futura was in a custom car shop for years until it was used as the Batmobile in the Batman TV series in 1966.

There are some concept cars that are well known for one reason or another. The Buick Y Job was designed in the 1930s by Harley Earl and is considered to be the first concept vehicle. The General Motors Le Sabre built in 1951 introduced the 12 volt electrics and aluminum 215 ci V8. The 1959 Cadillac Cyclone was one of Harley Earl's last designs. Chevrolet Volt is one of the first plug in hybrid electric vehicle concept cars.

A concept vehicle that I would never want to see in production is the Ford Nucleon, a nuclear powered car. MIT worked with Frank Gehry to develop the MIT Car concept vehicle. Pontiac's Bonneville Special was Pontiac's first two seater sports car and debuted in the 1954 Motorama. Another Pontiac is the Club de Mer an all stainless steel sportscar from 1956. The Lancia Megagamma was the prototype for the current minivan. Volvo's YCC was the first car designed entirely by women.
