| Ford's Car Of The Future--By Way Of The Simpsons? Posted: 13 Apr 2010 01:51 PM PDT  The Simpsons is, admittedly, just a cartoon, but its encyclopedic punditry on American life occasionally dips into fields that can stir even a car lover's juices. Case in point: The Homer, a car designed to meet the average American's (read: Homer Simpson's) needs and desires. And today, Ford unveiled a plan to tap into exactly the same idea...

| 2010 Acura ZDX Recalled For Potential Airbag Issue Posted: 13 Apr 2010 12:42 PM PDT  Acura is recalling some 2010 Acura ZDX vehicles for a potential issue with the dashboard surface, which might prevent the passenger-side airbag from deploying properly.

If anything, the word "hatchback" is even worse. There's not active fear, there's just a kind of "ewwwwww" reaction. Those aren't for...

| Fox's Smash Hit GLEE Returns Tonight, With Chevrolet In Tow Posted: 13 Apr 2010 09:35 AM PDT  If you've ever watched Glee, you already know that it's TV's equivalent of a Britney Spears pop song: slick, snappy, slightly outrageous, and impossible to shake off. It's kind of like Ally McBeal, but set in a high school, with jazz hands instead of dancing babies. And most importantly for advertisers, it has completely, utterly captivated TV...

| Was Tiger A Curse? Average Age Of Buick Owners Finally Drops Posted: 13 Apr 2010 08:16 AM PDT  You know it, we know it: Buick has become a brand for older drivers. Just a couple of decades ago, models like the Regal drew the attention of younger couples and even families, but in recent years, Buick's lineup has prioritized comfort over class, size over style. That's played well with golf bag-toting retirees, but it hasn't been so popular...

| Better In-Car Integration Coming To The iPhone With OS 4.0? Posted: 13 Apr 2010 04:32 AM PDT  It's been a glaring omission with the iPhone from the start: Users of the much-loved Apple device have no way of tapping into its full potential while in the car and behind the wheel—except by picking it up and operating it by hand, which is now, in most places, illegal. Yet the temptation remains and is no doubt a cause of distraction. We've...
