Here’s a taste of what Ferrari maintenance is like, courtesy of Universal Autosports. This major repair work is just to fix an oil leak and install a new clutch. No word on how long this repair took, or how much it cost. Then again, I don’t think I’d want to know. With cars like this, sometimes it’s better to just keep it a fantasy or a dream and not be exposed to the truth of what it’s like to actually own and maintain one of these. (via Jalopnik)

Here’s a great example of a great, fuel efficient American-brand car that we can’t buy in the US. The new Ford Focus RS boasts 300hp, 0-62mph in 5.9 seconds, and 30.5mpg (though keep in mind that those are British gallons, US mileage would be a bit less). The occupants rest comfortably in Recaro seats, surrounded by carbon fiber and aluminum trim. It’s an awesome hot hatch that I hope Ford will bring to the US! (via AutoExpress)
