2008 Model Comparrison

First off in this blog post i will be comparing 5 2008 models from different companies. The first is The 2008 Ford F150, Mustang GT, Jaguar XJ8, Mazda RX8, and the Volvo S60.


































































Vehicle Comparrison:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------






The F150 has 450hp with a 5.4l V8 engine. it gets 13 mpg in the city and 17 mpg on the highway. it comes with air conditioning, power windows, cruise control and side airbags. Cost around $50,000

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------







The 2008 mustang GT has 300 horsepower and it comes with a 5 speed manuel transmission. it has a 4.0L V8. It gets 26 mpg on the highway and 17 in the city. Comes with a dvd navigation system. costs near $20,000.

The Jaguar US - XJ has about 400 horsepower with a V8 motor. Comes with a retractable moonroof and four zone climate control. it has a 6 speed automatic transmission. Gets 15 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway. Cost $95,000.

The Mazda RX-8 has 232 horsepower with a 6 speed manual transmission or 212 with automatic transmission. gets 16 mpg in the city and 23 on the highway. gives you the thrll of a high performance sports car yet the handling and comfort of a luxury car.

And lastly the volvo S60. It has 208 horsepower and gets 19mpg in the city and 27 on the highway with an automatic tansmission. has a unique engine build; a 5 cylinder light turbo pressure motor. Cost about $31,000








The vehicle of my choice would have to be the Ford Mustang GT. It gets about the same MPG as the Rx8 and the volvo but has alot of horsepower and can be upgraded to get rediculous amounts of horsepower. It is also one of the cheapest vehicles out of the 5 that i chose. this is why i chose the mjustang. i would keep it just the way it is in this picture

It is going to be way too icy to drive safely so they will have to cancel it. there will be at least a delay if we have school so they can sand the roads and get salt on them to melt all the ice for tomorrow. they are predicting at least a half inch of ice for some places and more in others
Here is the link to the forecast for tomorrow
