...morning, are you working with any particular aesthetic palate? Gordon Teskey: One certainly dresses as to look as if it was unconscious. Sometimes that takes a little reflection.THC: How does your leisure dress differ from the items you wear to class? Do you give equal consideration to both?GT: It’s about equal, yes. THC: So then, do you incorporate the stereotypical American Ivy League Professor uniform into your wardrobe? The tweed blazer with the suede elbow pads, the oxford open at the neck, the ill-fitting brown corduroys? Do you embrace this archetype or do you rebel...
Ford designers could use an unshackling. Aside from a few critically acclaimed hits, such as the new Mustang and GT sports car, the fleet is clogged with bland wheels. Car critics pounded Mays for the 2005 launch of the Ford Five Hundred, a middle-market sedan with all the élan of Wonder Bread. Ford's revival of the legendary Thunderbird, in 2001, flopped so badly that production was suspended last year. Geriatric wonders like the Grand Marquis and Town Car still roll out of Mercury and Lincoln plants, headed mainly for corporate fleets. Only Mazda, which Ford controls, appears...
Will Mitsubishi's new pocket rocket, the 263-h.p. Eclipse GT, jump-start sales at Japan's most troubled automaker?

That seems less...
...first all-new platform in 25 years and based the design on Mustangs from '67 to '70, probably the car's best period. In a bit of retro pandering, even the shark-nose grille is back. And at $19,410 for the V-6 and $24,995 for the GT, the car packs a wallop for the price. It can no longer be dismissed as the ugly American of sports cars...
...drive Mustang. Weighing in at 3,450 lbs., the car remains a bit sluggish off the mark, but the five-speed manual I drove felt adequately juiced, even if the solid-rear-axle setup (a controversial, old-school feature) made the rear a bit jumpy. Ford claims the manual GT gets 17 m.p.g. in city driving and 25 m.p.g. on the highway. In my test, I averaged 11.5 m.p.g...
