Everyone always says the K4284 is the greatest Shooting Brake made. But you always go against the grain. What about a Arrow? OK stop laughing. Yes we all know the doors fall off when you open them. So what's the solution to setting the newest trend? Ever thought about a Philadelphia Motors? This month we take a look at the new Arrow. Is this the Shooting Brake you've been looking for? Find out!

On my first track run in the Philadelphia Motors Arrow suffered 2 cracked rips and a ruptured spleen. Not from wrecking it, but from the sheer raw power of this Shooting Brake. The Arrow's 118 hp @ 3417RPMs 4976 cc V4 engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 21.533s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 84 mph. The Arrow is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 84 mph. We found that with 146 lb-ft of torque this machine can tow an impressive 297 lbs. On the track you can tell that the Philadelphia Motors Arrow is above average when it comes to handling and driveability. Most Shooting Brake would not be able to keep up with the Arrow on twisty and windy roads. It can almost put a smile on your face. After my hospital visit, I came to the conclusion that this is the best Shooting Brake I've ever tested on the track. Buy IT NOW!!!

Once we were done playing on the track, we got a good look at the Philadelphia Motors Arrow and I must say, we were quite impressed. While not the most luxurious vehicle on the market. It is quite comfortable for what it is. There is just enough styling and support to last on long trips and impress friends, while not being overly expensive like hyper luxurious vehicles.

The Philadelphia Motors Arrow gives you a sense of home away from home. With 51 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space the Arrow feels like a second living room. Which was what Philadelphia Motors was probably thinking when they made this vehicle. "Lets make a vehicle that people could live in." Well Philadelphia Motors thank you, because after my wife threw me out, this is my new home. And let me tell you, it rocks!

Serious effort goes into every Philadelphia Motors Arrow produced. The build quality of these vehicles is amazing! We could not find a single flaw in its construction while we were testing it. Everything fits properly, nothing is misaligned or misplaced. All of us here at GCM commend Philadelphia Motors in their efforts when it comes to the production of this vehicle.

The Philadelphia Motors Arrow is not exactly dependable. It won't last a million miles, but it will get you down the road. Do expect a few issues over the lifetime of the vehicle. But most are fixable.

At this point in testing we would normally take the Philadelphia Motors Arrow out on the roads. However our test driver barely made it out of the parking lot before running out of fuel. The Arrow's ghastly 11.7 mpg means you'll need to take a few jerry cans, scratch that, a few barrels of fuel just to make it to the grocery store.

Safety is another important topic on the minds of many. The Philadelphia Motors Arrow maintains the average amount of safety features for this type of vehicle. While not overly impressive, it should be enough to keep you alive in most cases. Don't expect miracles however.

When you drive the Philadelphia Motors Arrow you'll see other Shooting Brake on the road and think to your self: Why would anyone buy anything other than a Philadelphia Motors. Simple answer, they're stupid!
