    Why Has The Ford Brand Stood The Test Of Time?

    Ford is one of the oldest and most successful car companies in the world. Its cars are one of America’s greatest global exports too. But what has allowed the Ford brand to stand the test of time? Read on to find out.

    Affordable Product
    One of the main reasons why Ford became so successful in the first place was its price. Henry Ford aimed to make it possible for everyone to drive a car when, at the time, this wasn’t the case. Of course, time has proven him right. That’s in no small part down to the production line process started by Ford decades ago. This made it possible to produce large quantities of cars in a quick and cost-effective manner. The savings could then be passed on to customers, meaning more people than ever could afford to drive. And affordability is something that the Ford brand is still associated with to this day thanks to their clever pricing strategies.

    Quality
    Everything else would be pretty much meaningless if Ford didn’t offer quality to their customers though. People only like low prices when they are getting something worthwhile in return. And, over the years, Ford have consistently managed to produce cars that are not only affordable but durable and reliable as well. This level of quality is what keeps the brand ticking over, and it keeps the sales rolling in. Visit any good Ford dealer and you’ll see the quality of the manufacturing for yourself. They sell so many used cars for a reason. Those cars can last for a long time on the road, so used Ford cars make great purchases.

    Strong Brand Identity
    The Ford brand identity has remained steadfastly solid for many, many decades now. We all know the Ford logo when we see it. That’s an important factor in itself. The Ford logo is not only one of the most recognisable car logos but one of the most easily recognisable logos in any sector. It’s up there with the Apple logo and the McDonald’s arches as one the best corporate logos around. There’s nothing particularly complicated about it either. They have also managed to solidify the attributes associated with the brand. These are reliability, integrity and honesty. No one can argue with attributes like those, and they seem to be permanently attached to Ford.

    Something for Everyone
    Ford has not simply stuck to one type of car and left it at that. They have expanded their horizons. They make affordable cars for families, but they also make high-end corporate cars and sports cars. On top of that, they make vans that are among the best in the world. That means they have tapped into the corporate sector as well as the private vehicle ownership sector. By making sure that they have lots of irons in the fire, Ford has always managed to stay afloat and find success. This is something that the company has done for a long time, and will continue to do in the future too.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
