If you're an Apple fan, own an iPhone, or just happened to wake up yesterday, you already know that Apple has unveiled the next iteration of its mobile operating system, iOS 6. It's not as if that was a surprise. iOS 6 was one of the worst-kept secrets in Apple's history, with details leaking out weeks in advance of the launch -- but of course...
Today at High Gear Media, GMC priced the 2013 Terrain Denali and we spied the 2015 Mercedes-Benz SLC AMG. Apple aims to change the way hands-free calling systems work in cars and A123 Systems announced new electric car battery technology. All this and more in today's car news, right here on The Car Connection. Here's our buyer's guide for 2013...
If you're heading off to college this fall or know someone who is, listen up: Bridgestone is running a contest to give away $50,000 in scholarships, and the deadline for entries is June 22. The gist of Bridgestone America's Teens Drive Smart Video Contest is pretty simple: Any student between the ages of 16 and 21 can create a short video (either...
If you're out cross-shopping full-size SUVs or pickups—or if you've done so in recent years—you might be familiar with an interesting showroom discrepancy: You can go to a Chevrolet dealership, then into a GMC dealership, and see two virtually identical trucks—same engine, same equipment, even same sheetmetal—only the one...
The plush new 2013 GMC Terrain Denali goes on sale in the fall wearing a base price of $35,350, including destination. GMC will offer two powertrains in its most luxe compact-crossover SUV for the new model year. Last year's 264-horsepower, 3.0-liter V-6 has been axed from the model range entirely. The base 2.4-liter, 180-horsepower four-cylinder...
The Buick Verano is a comfort- and luxury-oriented compact sedan that was introduced for the 2012 model year. While the Verano's front-wheel drive layout and platform are shared with the Chevrolet Cruze, nearly all of its mechanical underpinnings, parts, and sheetmetal are different. Filling a slot that had been empty at Buick since the...
Turbocharged fours are the new V-6s, at least among compact and mid-size sedans. For the 2013 model year, the Buick Verano jumps on the forced-induction bandwagon, but it does it in a discreet way--making the "T" in turbo silent. Silent, in that it's badged subtly, without reference to the added power under the hood, even though the new Verano T...
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is a full-size luxury sedan and, in long-wheelbase form, executive limousine. It has long been Mercedes flagship, leading the curve in technology, safety, and features. Over the past 40 years, it has established itself at the pinnacle of the luxury sedan market. In that niche, the S-Class retains its position at the very...
What shoppers want in a luxury flagship is actually quite different depending on whether they're merely affluent, very wealthy, or among the business elite--or whether they're looking to arrive in high style, make a green statement, or keep their luxury quite understated. The 2013 S Class lineup reflects that silver-spoon reality and has models...
Do you need to shuffle varied numbers of people and amounts of cargo from one place to another, daily? If you've done some shopping around you know that it can be tough finding just the right crossover or SUV to fit the bill, in terms of price, features, versatility, safety, and styling. For 2013, there are a number of redesigned vehicles to...
Distracted driving and hands-free calling are both very hot topics these days. And Apple is looking to help solve the problem with its new automotive integration of Siri called Eyes Free. Apple announced the Eyes Free system at its World Wide Developers Conference today during its keynote. The system will integrate Siri from the iPhone and iPad...
California and Delaware are the next two states to receive federal funding to help curb the “epidemic” of distracted driving in America. Announced in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s “Blueprint for Ending Distracted Driving,” the states will each get $1.2 million to fund pilot projects focusing...
