We'll look at the major changes but here's the takeaway: with judicious selection of options, the Mustang's performance and ride give up little - in some cases, nothing - to far more expensive European four-seaters.

Takuma Asano The 23-year-old forward played 45 minutes for Japan in their 1-3 loss to Brazil in a friendly at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy. Takuma made some encouraging runs as he was played further right in their formation. He had one tame effort at Cassio after a penetrating run at Marcelo and had several late movements in the box that, unfortunately, were never found. VfB Stuttgart have a tough home match against Borussia Dortmund today so let’s hope Takuma can get a first-team start. Marc Bola Marc... Читать дальше...

As some liberals have come to realize in recent days that a president having sex with a White House intern is a very bad thing that shouldn't be waved off, some conservative commentators have carped that this timing is awfully convenient — Democrats are only discarding the Clintons once they weren't needed anymore.
