    With the 50th anniversary of the beloved Ford Mustang which was introduced to consumers in 1964, there is a lot of wonder and rumors surrounding the tweaks or even larger redesigns that the Ford Motor Company will be doing to the classic vehicle.

    Looking at the Mustang now, and you will realize that Ford has done the right thing by simply maintaining some of that classic allure, giving drivers who are Mustang fans since they were kids a sense of nostalgia from when they attended auto shows in the 60’s and 70’s. The only real significant changes that have been made over the years is the aggressive front end that has been re-sculpted for aerodynamics and to fit the times.
    So what sort of changes is Ford looking to make to the 2014 model, and for future generations? Well Ford has declared that they only plan to make some minor changes to the 2014 model from the prior year, nothing to raise commotion or stir, playing it safe. On the flip side they do plan to explore the possibility of presenting to the world the newly designed, new generation Mustang sometime next year. The big question from this will be, is Mustang enthusiasts able to move on from what they envision as a Mustang? Are they open-minded enough for a larger change? Ford surely has played it safe, and rightfully so. Why change something that has proved to work for generations. Power, performance and aggressive styling, that is the mustang way.

    Currently the 2013 Mustang remains an affordable combination of performance and style starting at $31,545 for the 5.0-liter, 420-horsepower V-8 GT. Which is coupled with a reliable six-speed automatic transmission with a manual button and hill-start assists feature. Even though the Mustang just like any other classic muscle car has experienced gradual changes, and has lost some of its raw “gas-guzzling” power, rugged shifting and torque squealing tires—the appearance hasn’t altered much. You see a 2013 Mustang, you know it is a Mustang just from its design.

    It will be interesting to see what sort of changes will be made from 2014 and into the new generation models that Ford Motor Company plans to spin our direction in the next year or so. One thing is for certain if you are a fan of the current designs, then you may want to consider purchasing a 2013 model now before the changes are made and you are unhappy with its looks. We recommend contacting your local Ford dealer such as Tindol Ford.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
