Terrafugia Plans TF-X Flying Car
Terrafugia has motoring aspirations that are sky-high. The maker of the Transition airplane—you know, the one with the foldable wings that also happens to be street legal—has announced plans for a new flying car, the TF-X.
Update: 2013 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor
Part of the issue, we think, has to do with the focus of these trucks. Aimed at on-road performance, they lacked the utility of a traditional pickup (due to their sporty tires and suspensions) while being outrun and outhandled by equal or lower-priced performance cars. Automobiles are governed by the laws of physics, and a truck-based performance vehicle is never going to have the same potential as a car-based performance vehicle. The Raptor works because it doesn’t try to beat cars at their own game. It is a truck, first and foremost.
Quick Drive: 2012 Chevrolet Volt
I’m always impressed by the smoothness in the Chevy Volt’s ride. It feels like it glides across the surface of the road, but in a way that doesn’t feel floaty or unstable. The smoothness of the power delivery compounds this sensation, and anyone I’ve had in the car with me has made mention of it. For reference, another car that offers a remarkable gliding sensation would be the Hyundai Sonata Turbo.
