Yes, it's a Bristol Fighter T: 225mph – 0-60 in 3.5 sec - you like? or maybe there's something else you prefer, we're coming up to no 1 so stay tuned.
But for those who have shorter pockets and a more practical turn of mind let's look at car safety for mother and baby or mother and kids, which I have been doing for Mary.
There seems to be a good range on offer and so far I have considered Midsize vehicles with solid rollover ratings which scored the best, and all are moderately priced, such as the $34,995 Acura TL, $31,135 Saab 9-3 and $21,460 Subaru Legacy.
Each car features superior technology and construction. The Legacy, for example, sports a symmetrical all-wheel drive, vehicle dynamics control and a traction control system--all standard on the 2009 model. And the Saab 9-3 has a pendulum B-pillar side-impact structure and head-curtain side air bags and torso bags that protect passengers from side-crash trauma.
Behind the Numbers
To generate our list of the Safest Vehicles of 2009, we used crash-test and rollover data from the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
This information comes from Forbes, but I really had been thinking of a Volvo, so I am far from making a decision, perhaps some of you can help me out.
Acura RL (Large Car)
MSRP: $46,680
The RL scored especially well in rear-crash protection, with perfect scores across the board for its dynamic and seat/head restraint results. It offers side airbags, electronic stability control and daytime running lights, among other safety features.
Maybe a bit pricey, eh?
Maybe I'll have to make a decision quickly, the little woman is getting restless, no doubt she's starting to get over the trauma and after effects of birth?
