Hennie has awesome night vision, so I feel safe, but in the day, all day, he hides behind sunglasses. That night I sleep in a roof top tent and Hennie in the Land Rover. After going through footage of Spotted Hyena from the camera traps the next morning, we spend our second day in Moremi venturing further east. As we鈥檙e driving, talk is around hyenas. 鈥淭hey don鈥檛 have the presence of lions and herein lies the danger,鈥?I say. 鈥淭hey鈥檙e very 鈥榮kelm鈥? 鈥?adds Hennie. 鈥淟ions may be safer than hyenas,鈥?I say to Hennie, 鈥渂ut they鈥檙e still wild animals. I鈥檇 like to sit one night around the campfire while lions walk around, but I haven鈥檛 managed to do that yet. When you see them, they give you that look, and there鈥檚 no question. It鈥檚 into the car, pronto. 鈥淲hich is why you鈥檙e still sitting here,鈥?Hennie grins. 鈥淵ou鈥檙e braver than normal, and that鈥檚 dangerous.鈥?Hennie agrees.

Convertible top hydraulics are shaping up as a major weakness in the Bentley Azure and Final Series Corniche from Rolls Royce. These cars were built from 1996-2004 (a newer Bentley variant remains in production today) and all are vulnerable to this issue. The engineers at Crewe wanted to design a fully automatic convertible top for the new Azure series. But they did not have the resources to do a new design; they had to adapt something else that was already out there. The Mercedes SL500-type design was well regarded, and they chose to adapt it to the Azure body. Unfortunately, the design didn鈥檛 work as well on the RR/B. It鈥檚 remarkably reliable on the Mercedes, and astonishingly flimsy and incredibly costly to fix on the Azure. There are a few essential problems. First, the systems use very high hydraulic pressures. Older automatic tops used big cylinders and rams. With several square inches of ram, you don鈥檛 need very high hydraulic pressures to generate the force to move the top.

And if you put the lever from Drive into Sport, the gears are held just a touch longer than usual. On-road the LR2 feels agile and responsive. The ride is far firmer than you would imagine, and during hard cornering the machine is poised and well balanced. The vented disc brakes perform great and pedal feel is perfect, not too grabby, but still maintaining good initial bite. With just 2.6 turns lock-to-lock, the rack and pinion steering is responsive and direct. The column is adjustable for reach and rake, too. A key contributor to the LR2's on-road prowess is the fully independent suspension, with four corner coil-spring struts. A unibody construction is used and reinforcements have been implemented to strengthen the body, such as high-strength steel in the door beams and dual-phase steel in the A-posts and lower sills. When you take the LR2 off-road it is immediately in its element.

Anyway, I continue to say that Mazda is sadly the best ignored brand on the market. Regularly tops in ratings and reviews and among the most reliable, yet sales remain slow. Most Mazda products, except for the CX-9, have generally been reliable. Older CX-9s had some troubles. I've never used the manual shifter. Also, people seem to complain about finding radio stations and such in Mazda Connect. I don't understand what the problem is as you just search for stations once and save to your favorites. Without ever lifting your arm off the armrest. Easier than a touch screen IMO. I've also seen comments from other reviewers on the complexity of the Mazda Connect system. Thanks for the review. I think the general population would expect. I believe part of the reasoning for this configuration in racing applications has to do with the momentum of the car/driver as they upshift or downshift.

If there's one place you can knock the Tesla Model S, a car so good it "broke" Consumer Reports' rating system, it's cost. 71,000 and topping six figures fully loaded. 143,000 decked out with a nice trim package. 35K sticker price sends a positive message to investors and critics who question the company's long-term potential for profitability and growth. After all, it鈥檚 one thing to sell 50,000 cars a year to rich people. It鈥檚 quite another to sell hundreds of thousands of cars to those who are merely well off. In China, though, where non-union labor remains cheap, supply chains are as supple as they are massive, and attitudes toward intellectual property are quite lax, some aspiring auto barons think they can undercut Tesla by, well, ripping off Tesla. These brash entrepreneurs plan to build near carbon copies of the Model S and sell them for significantly less than the real thing.
