Hammer Time: Kibbutznik

I must have been a kibbutznik in a past life. Whenever I buy something of value, I never have the urge to keep it. Perhaps it’s due to too many bouts of suburbia. A neighborhood with twenty lawnmowers, twenty The Lion King videos, and fifty to seventy vehicles seems to be a bit too much. Yeah. I know that most folks aren’t willing to share their ride. Some won’t even loan you Simba. But if I lived in a place where we all put a smaller chunk of our change to a ride, I wouldn’t go cheap . . . except for possibly an old Volvo wagon. These would be my top picks:

Ford doesn't dare bring the S-Max to America. If they did, everybody who bought a US-version Focus in the past year would be demanding their money back.
Ford's European cars... mhmmm... It's like taking what makes a Mazda great, giving it better shock absorbers, better steering, better sound insulation... hell... better everything... and wrapping it up in a suit and tie. Of course, Mazda's design language is a lot better... both inside and out... but I prefer to drive the Ford versions of all their shared vehicles... though I'm rather partial to the Mazda6.
You can still buy a LC new. Here in Venezuela... at gold price, with a DOHC 24V 4.5lts engine. Or get the grown up men Aussie version with the diesel V8. Sold as a working vehicle. I don't like them, but I'd take the serious, down under one. They're for sale in some other countries, including Japan.
