| Must Carmakers Use Best Safety Technology? Supremes To Decide Posted: 02 Nov 2010 02:49 PM PDT  With tough new Federal crash-test procedures, and some cars offering as many as ten airbags, you might think that automakers do everything they can to meet the highest safety standards.

| Video Sneak Peek: Lexus CT 200h Invites You To The Darker Side Of Talk Shows Posted: 02 Nov 2010 08:08 AM PDT  Lexus has been working the "Darker Side of Green" angle for months now, hyping the company's new hybrid the Lexus CT 200h. We've talked a good bit about the marketing campaign, its series of odd but entertaining debates, and some of its...less successful elements.

| Don't Forget To Vote—Then Pledge Your Automotive Allegiance Here Posted: 02 Nov 2010 05:00 AM PDT  Today's Election Day. And because you've probably reached a point of fatigue from all those recorded turnout calls and negative campaign ads, you won't find any voters' guides, party-platform debates, or big endorsements here at High Gear Media—well, except possibly over at Politics and Cars, where the debate's always on.
