| BMW Group Announces iPod Out Tech For Future BMW, MINI Vehicles Posted: 07 Jul 2010 04:00 PM PDT The car has been a primary drive for advances in phone technology--some of the first mobile phones were made just for use in cars.

Today, the BMW Group announces the latest step in phone-driven car-technology, with support of Apple's new iPod Out...

| Rental Car Companies Disclose Personal Data to Government Posted: 07 Jul 2010 12:27 PM PDT  If you rent a car from Hertz, Avis, Budget, or Advantage, you might want to avoid running any red lights.

This company runs red-light cameras in some areas, and it uses the data to make...

| By the Numbers: TCC's 6 Perfect 10s for Styling Posted: 07 Jul 2010 12:00 PM PDT  What's it take to get a perfect 10? Back before she became a thinky conservative, Bo Derek laid it out the rules for us all. Actually it's just one rule: you don't have to be particularly talented or smart, just quintessentially, no-excuses gorgeous. Get it right, and you can even put noisemakers in your hair and get away with it. It's been more...

| Forget Saving The Planet: The Fisker Karma Will Nab You A Date Posted: 07 Jul 2010 08:39 AM PDT  Remember the Prius commercials with all those people dressed up like grass and rocks, moving in rhythm to create the illusion of a happy, healthy Mother Earth? Well forget 'em. In fact, forget all that tree-huggery tripe used to sell cleaner-tech rides. According to a new website for Fisker Automotive, driving a hybrid will do something way better...

| Who Needs EcoGuide When You've Got DriveGain On Your iPhone? Posted: 07 Jul 2010 08:37 AM PDT  If you're serious about fuel efficiency, there are plenty of tools to help you wring more mileage out of the gas tank -- or the battery, if you swing that way. Some come standard, like the power display found on the Toyota Prius. Others are a little fancier, like the SmartGauge-EcoGuide combo on the 2010 Ford Fusion, which sprouts leaves and vines...

| How Do First Responders Act Around a Crashed Hybrid or EV? Posted: 07 Jul 2010 08:01 AM PDT  Once more, a reader question prompts us to share the answer with our entire green car audience. In this case, it's about how first responders should approach accidents that involve vehicles with high-voltage battery packs, whether they're conventional hybrids (e.g. Toyota Prius) or upcoming electric cars like the 2011 Nissan Leaf or 2011 Chevrolet...

| 2011 Nissan Quest: New Images, L.A. Show Debut Confirmed Posted: 07 Jul 2010 07:44 AM PDT The 2011 Nissan Quest isn't quite here -- we're looking toward a first drive early next year -- but today Nissan released these illustrations of the new minivan.

| Driven: 2010 Chevrolet Equinox Posted: 07 Jul 2010 07:33 AM PDT  GM has finally stepped up to the plate with the 2010 Chevy Equinox. It's been a long time coming. For years, compact crossovers have been the fastest-growing portion of the market, but as sales of rivals like the Toyota RAV4, Hyundai Tucson, and Honda CR-V were picking up pace to a frenzy—and those models became refined alternatives to large...

| Posted: 06 Jul 2010 10:12 AM PDT  Buick doesn't get its own version of the Chevy Tahoe/GMC Yukon family, but it does get the Enclave crossover--which almost fits the bill, if you're looking for something a little more family-friendly than a fifth wheel and any leg of the Triple Crown.
