Safety Tip:As the summer BBQ season and Canada Day celebrations kick off, it’s important to remember how deadly of a combination drinking and driving can be. Arrange for

a designated driver or use other options to get home safely.

Question of the WeekBob McHugh in his review of the Lincoln MKC reveals there is a new technology called “park out assist” which gets your vehicle out of the tight parking sport that the “park assist” shoehorned you into! Is this kind of technology in danger of diminishing a driver’s control skills?

Lincoln luxury at a non-premium priceSanta Barbara, Calif. - The MKC is the first (luxury) compact utility vehicle from Lin-coln and, while related, it’s very different from the Ford Escape. Development of both vehicles started with Ford’s global “C” platform, but other than its base 2.0 litre turbo-engine, the MKC has little else in common with its Ford counterpart. All-wheel-drive is standard (in Canada) on all three editions of the MKC and a start price just under $40,000 is also inviting compared to other luxury CUVs such as the Acura RDX ($41,390) and BMW X3 ($42,800). (A top-line Ford Escape, by the way, is listed at $35,699). The MKC is the second of four all-new product launches intended to redefine Lincoln. The first being the Lincoln MKZ last year, an all-new MKX is expected next year and a, so-far unnamed, full-sized sedan will follow. The new Lincoln styling theme includes smooth clean lines a slick shape (described as “graceful ath-leticism”) and up front, there’s a contemporary take on the traditional Lincoln split-wing grille.Another eye-catching feature of the MKC is around back, a huge wraparound lift gate includes full-width LED rear lighting assemblies. This unique one-piece hydro-formed steel door opens like a clamshell and allows complete access to the cargo area. An optional hands-free feature also allows it to open with a kick-ing motion below the rear bumper. The MKC also has a roomy feel to its interior, particu-larly for front seat occupants. A dash that slants away, towards the windshield, adds to its airy ambiance. It’s also a much quieter cabin than its stable mate, with numerous built-in sound deadening features that in-clude a noise control system that eliminates unwanted sound waves and enhances others. Available inside accent trims include brushed alumi-num or open-pore Zebrano and Santos Rosewood that

can be matched with standard, made in Scotland, Bridge of Weir “Deepsoft” leather upholstery. The premium car ex-perience actually starts as you approach the MKC with an accent welcoming lighting feature that’s automatically ac-tivated (by the key fob) when an owner is within 2.4 metres (8-ft). Our 320-kilometre-plus route took us away from the coast along the scenic Jacento Reyes Byway. This lightly trav-elled twisty two-lane road gets narrow in sections. It also presented some spectacular vistas along the way and some intimidating cliff faces and rock formations.I was impressed with the MKC’s predict-able handling characteristics through the twisty sections. It was stable, very forgiving at higher speeds and generally more agile than expected for a utility

vehicle - especially after I finally figured out how to set-up the driving modes, called Lincoln Drive Control. The normal, comfort and sport settings for the sus-pension and steering are preset (via vehicle settings on the instrument panel and customizable to a limited extent) by a driver to function with “D” and “S” transmission selections. It’s a different and somewhat complex way of providing this feature. Push-button transmission selection is another feature that I wouldn’t get excited about. I get the space-sav-ing functionality and the historic connection to Lin-coln, but still prefer a shift lever. Manual operation of the transmission’s six speeds can be done via paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The shifts, however, could be crisper and the system tends to be very pro-tective of the engine (over-revving) on downshifts. Only MKC vehicles with the new 2.3-litre twin-scroll turbo engine were available to drive at this U.S. event, which would price tag them close to $50,000 in Can-ada. An impressively smooth and quiet performer (in this application) this engine can produce 285-horse-

power compared to the base 2.0-litre’s 240-horsepow-er, which is the top engine in an Escape. As you might expect, the 2.0L engine gets better fuel economy, but the difference is minimal and both can run on regular grade fuel. All the latest driver-assist technologies are avail-able with MKC including, adaptive cruise control, a collision warning system, blind-sport alert, cross-traffic alert and park assist, with a unique new wrinkle... park-out assist. This added feature can now auton-omously steer that MKC out of that tight parallel parking spot into which it put the MKC! Lincoln may be a little late in joining the booming compact luxury utility club, but the MKC is certainly an impressively well put-together new member and it’s priced to sell.

by Zack Spencer

If there is such a thing as an affordable supercar, the 2015 Jaguar F-Type Coupe might just come close.

Of course, that is relatively speaking, when compared with the sticker prices of its rivals.

This Jag will turn heads, thanks to its styling, and wealthier shoppers will doubtless be interested due to the price. Just as last year’s F-Type convertible won the praises of auto

journalists and the buying public, the hardtop version of this sexy car is more engaging, more powerful and arguably more beauti-ful. The North American launch for the Coupe was held in California traversing the twisty roads outside Los Angeles on the way to the Willow Springs racetrack for a thunderous romp around the circuit as fast as my skill would let me.Looks

The F-Type is sold with three trim levels, the $72,900 base, then the $84,900 S and the top of range R for $109,900. With 340hp, 380hp and a whop-ping 550hp, respectively, these cars are up on power and down on price when compared to similar priced/horsepower Porsches. (The one exception is the new 450hp Corvette Stingray that has 450hp and a stunning $55,000 start-ing price.) What this car has over the competition, and the convertible ver-sion, is a sleek body and platform formed entirely from aluminum. With a special hydro-formed roof support that can carry four times the vehicle’s weight, the stiffness of the coupe is eighty percent greater than the convertible. And a stuff structure is what is needed if you want to make a supercar. The convertible has a 495hp but the coupe is fitted with a 550hp ver-sion of the supercharged V8 because the body and chassis has the strength to accommodate such a powerful engine. Inside

Almost every review of the convertible commented on the raspy exhaust note from either the supercharged 3.0L V6 or V8 engines. The S and R models of the coupe also get a sports exhaust that can be made louder or quieter with the press of a button, but the fixed roof of the coupe muted the impact com-pared to the convertible.

On the road to the track event, I drove the super-charged 380hp S model fit-ted with superb sports seats

and leather everywhere that matters, like the doors and dash. The back cargo area is surprisingly big and capable of accommodat-ing two sets of golf clubs. Jaguar has done a superb job of finishing the hatch area with a cover that helps separate the cabin from the trunk area.

The three main dials on the centre console are easy to use for heat and air conditioning but the radio/navigation unit is not as quick or precise as I would like. In fact, I missed three turns on our drive route due to the lag in navigation display. Drive

As the trim levels increase in price the added features are not so much about additional luxury items, rather more performance features. As each trim gets more power, there are more aids to help get all that power down to the ground. The S trim gets performance brakes and a mechanical limited slip differential but the R model adds torque vectoring to help steer the car through the corners and an electronic active differ-ential to apply power more precisely to the rear wheels when the driver asks. Ceramic brakes are also an option on the R trim. My instructor at Willow Springs was Davey Jones, who has two Rolex Daytona watches to show for his wins at the 24-hours of Daytona. The R on the track is nothing short of amazing.

With such low-end grunt from the supercharged 5.0L V8 engine and endless horsepower, the all-alumi-num F-Type just danced in every situation. Willow Springs is a technical track but after a half dozen laps, the powerful cat roared with pleasure in every turn. In performance mode the electronic aids are more for-giving allowing the car to rotate in the corners when pushed hard, the steering is very sharp and the driver can actually get the power down with confidence.Verdict

The Jaguar F-Type Coupe is an expensive machine but in the supercar world is a relative bargain. If you are in the market for a Porsche or other high-end coupe, this Jaguar, especially the R version is a car that de-mands attention when you look at it and gets respect when you drive it.

The 2014 Honda Odyssey is ready to take you on your next big messy adventure with the kids and it can help you clean up too.

The van features the world’s first in-car vacuum system called the HondaVac. It comes complete with a replaceable filter, canister bag, nozzle accessories, and a hose capable of reaching the front seats.

My sister-in-law Cristina has an Odyssey van and has been transporting a full size shop vac and leaf blower around for years. My two nieces make quite a mess, unlike my tidy offspring. Just kidding. But before we get into an interior clean-up, let’s cast an eye over the vehicle’s exterior looks.

It has a stylish hood that sweeps down towards the grille. The headlights are angled up and back giving

the profile a sculpted look. Honda refers to the overall design as a lightning bolt. Not only does it provide an exclusive appearance, but also adds increased visibility for third row passengers.

Very nice interior, every-thing laid out nicely. So many bells and whistles you almost would want to run through a checklist before driving. Eight-passenger seating with a total passenger volume of 4,887 litres, whatever, that means. And all those passen-gers get thirsty so Honda put in 15 cup holders. The third row is a one-motion 60/40

split ‘Magic’ seat that can ac-commodate three passengers and still leave 1,087 litres of cargo volume – that’s room for a lot of slushies for later in the journey. The second row is a 3 mode seating with fold down center console. Driver and front passenger seats are captain’s chairs that are very comfortable. My tester included a leather wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, channel selector, cruise control, and hands-free telephone button.

Safety is paramount with mini-van owners; the Odys-sey earned a 2013 IIHS top

safety pick and is the only minivan with a 5-star safety rating from the NHTSA. It comes standard with vehicle stability assist, side curtain airbags, and active

front seat head restraints that are designed to help reduce neck injury in the event of a rear collision. There are also five lower anchors and tethers for

children. 4-wheel anti-lock brakes and tire pressure monitoring system is standard.

The engine is a 3.5 litre, 24 valve, SOHC, i-VTEC V6 that produces 248 hp and 250 lb-ft of torque. The engines variable cylinder manage-ment system allows the engine to run on three, four or six cylinders depending on the requirements. All models receive a 6-speed automatic transmission. The combina-tion makes the drive that much more comfortable and enjoyable.
