Lovely work, thanks Fiesta.

Those Merc interiors like a great place to be.

The Orange on the M4 GTS rims is hideous.

BLue on the S60 Polestar is fapworth.

M2 is one good looking car.

Would stick my dick in that Jag SVR.

I can't be the *only* person who likes the "Acid Orange" 666 M Styling rims

Even though the SL(65) is cruiser than an all-out racer the interior & seats in particular...wow

Exhaust note of the Jaaaaag gives wood; Brabus-tuned Smart takes it away.

At least Brabus details on the Smart are great for showing off lol

Exhuast note on that Polestar on full tilt is really good + only 20 odd in country means it's certainly "rare cars" thread material.

M2; nothing to say; it's everyone's fav. Pity BMW SA has no manual Press Car.

Oh yes I asked Editor Steve about the Focus RS; would have been a great addition.

He mentioned at the mo Ford SA is "not happy" with Car Mag at present due to their reviews of the 'Stang & RS.

If you recall they lambasted the quality & price of the 'Stang. The Focus RS they loved but said it's simply priced out of the water locally. Pay not much more & get the more premium RS3 or A45.

On the topic of quality of the Mustang the Roush 'Stang is from Laz Performance in Jozi. There is only like 1 or 2 of these around. It makes around 500kw. I didn't hear it though but interior was not impressive if I'm honest. Great head-tuner though.

How should I interpret this post?
Are you saying, inferring or implying that Ford did not supply a vehicle because they were "not happy' because of the write ups that you refer to?
OR.. are you reporting that Car mag did not ask Ford for Focus RS because of their previous criticisms?

 

[FiestaST]

The former. They (Ford SA) were/are hesitant due to the overall bad rep from Car Mag for the 'Stang & F RS.
