In the pitched battle for dashboard dominance, Ford Motor Co. plans to increase the size of the touch screen in its F-150 by at least 50 percent when the redesigned pickup goes on sale next year, Bloomberg News reported, citing people familiar with Ford's plans.</div>
<div class="inline-ad-para" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
The automaker will offer at least a 12-inch screen that can simultaneously display multiple functions, such as maps and audio controls, said the people, who asked not to be identified. The expansion from the 8-inch screen now available in the F-150 will match or surpass the display in Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram pickup that has helped vault the model line into second place in U.S. pickup sales.</div>
<div class="inline-ad-para" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
Touch screens are key differentiators in the fight for pickup supremacy. The Ram's iPad-style 12-inch display helped it disrupt the long-held order in the segment by surpassing General Motors' Chevrolet Silverado in sales this year. Ford's F series has been the top-selling vehicle line in the U.S. since President Ronald Reagan's first administration.</div>

Are you secretly a James Bond villain or international despot jockeying for world domination? Does your commute regularly take you through <span style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: line-through;">Downtown Eastside Vancouver</span> a firing range? Do others routinely use your car for target practice? Then one Canadian company has the answer for you.</div>

Inkas, a Canadian-based company specializing in the design and production of armoured vehicles, has built what it claims to be the world's first bulletproof Bentley Bentayga.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 634px;">
Said to be armored to meet CEN 1063 BR6 ballistic standards, it provides protection for fuel, battery and electronic control unit compartments. Ballistic protection encompasses the vehicle with 360-degree, floor-to-roof coverage.</div>
<span class="embed-youtube" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: block; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center;"></span><div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 634px;">
According to the company, this armoured Bentayga can withstand fire from high-power rifles like AK47s and AR10s; as well as the simultaneous detonation of two DM51 grenades placed beneath the vehicle's floor.</div>
<span class="embed-youtube" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: block; margin-left: 0px; text-align: center;"></span><div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 634px;">
Additional equipment includes emergency lights mounted behind the vehicle's front grille, as well as a siren and PA system to made sure those pesky dissidents move out of your way.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 634px;">
Additional upgrades include tailpipe protection; smokescreen system; engine bay fire suppression system; and electric door handles that presumably give a surprise jolt to those daring to rudely intrude on your personal space.<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: white; font-family: oswald; font-size: 24px;"> </span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 634px;">
Inkas seems to leave the powertrain basics alone, which is fine since Bentley factory-installs a 6.0-litre W12 making 600 horsepower in these things. Its interior doesn't give up much in the way of comfort compared to a stock truck, either, with 24-way climate-controlled seats and a signature surround sound system.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; line-height: 27px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; max-width: 634px;">
Unsurprisingly, Inkas also makes armoured Escalade and Land Cruiser SUVs - it even plies its trade on the pedestrian Toyota Sienna. Hey, you never know when an early morning hockey practice will get out of hand.</div>

BANFF, Alberta - Volvo will launch its Polestar performance line in a big way this fall with a couple of electrically augmented models, the 2020 XC60 Polestar SUV and V60 Polestar station wagon.</div>
<div class="speakable-p-2 p-text" style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
Both vehicles get a slightly more powerful version of Volvo's T8 E-AWD plug-in hybrid drivetrain, which consists of a supercharged and turbocharged 2.0L engine and an electrically powered rear axle.</div>
<div class="story-asset image-asset" id="module-position-SDAaKztfBDA" style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">

The two Polestars should reach dealerships any day, along with an updated version of Volvo's bigger XC90 SUV, which has three rows of seats, and a beefed-up Cross Country version of the V60 wagon.</div>
<div class="p-text" style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
Polestar is Volvo's performance arm, in the same way AMG is Mercedes's in-house speed shop. Polestar tweaks the engineering of Volvo vehicles and will build Volvo-based electric performance vehicles under its own name. Polestar was an independent racing company that specialized in Volvos until the automaker bought it in 2015.</div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">You can recognize Polestar engineered Volvos by their gold seat belts, big yellow Akebono brake calipers and an asterisk-like etching on a small chrome plate. Volvo sold a handful of Polestar modified S60 sedans last year. The XC60 and V60 mark the sub-brand's real introduction to American buyers.</span></div>

Volvo charges a significant premium for Polestar's cosmetic and performance changes: start at $71,000 and $67,300, respectively, for the XC60 Polestar.</div>

XC60 ride and handling is improved</h3>

The XC60 adds power from the Polestar treatment. Its 415 horsepower and 494 pound-feet of torque are nothing to sneeze at, but they're only up 15 hp and 22 pound-feet from the base XC60 T8 hybrid, 3.6% and 8%, respectively. The added power trims 0.1 second from the T8 hybrid's 0-60 mph time, from an already respectable 5.0 seconds to 4.9.</div>

The steering and suspension upgrades that come with the "Polestar engineered" tag deliver plenty of value, though. Firmer steering, a bar connecting the front strut towers and a taut, but still comfortable, ride are apparent. Polestar retuned the steering, throttle response and shift points, but the big improvement comes from an adjustable suspension with Öhlins dampers. They keep the Polestar XC60 flat and stable in quick maneuvers and heavy braking while also absorbing bumps for a comfortable ride.</div>
<div class="p-text" style="background-color: #fafafa; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 60px;">
The massive Akebono calipers and 14.6-inch front brake discs deliver all the stopping power you'd ever want. Even more useful in daily driving, the retuned brakes also provide smoother, more natural pedal feel when they're being used to recharge the hybrid's 11.6 kWh lithium-ion battery.</div>

Visual differences from the regular XC60 in addition to the golden seat belts that look a lot better than you'd expect, and the brake calipers Volvo insists are the same color but aren't, include a glossy black frame around the grille and Polestar alloy wheels.</div>

Volvo considers the Audi SQ5 the XC60 Polestar's main competitor.</div>

The XC60's Polestar's $71,000 base price is daunting, but it includes Nappa leather, adaptive cruise control, a big sunroof and much more. The plug-in hybrid's projected battery-only range of 18-21 miles is not particularly impressive, and the big tablet-style touch screen that controls many features is less responsive than the best competitors.</div>

V60 Cross Country AWD handles rocky trails</h3>

The V60 Cross Country AWD s a lifted, version of the V60 station wagon, with bigger wheel arches, burly tires and moldings for a rugged appearance. It's got 2.5 inches more ground clearance than a standard V60 wagon. That, and the hill descent feature to use engine braking when going down particularly steep grades, proved very useful when I drove a V60 Cross Country down a steep, twisting and rock-strewn trail from a 7,700-foot mountain peak to the road below.</div>

In what might be considered a bold product move given market trends, Audi is bringing its high-powered estate wagon, the RS 6 Avant, <u style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;"><a class="omnitrack inline-paragraph-link" data-omnilink="editorial-link" data-omnilocation="articlebody" href="https://media.audiusa.com/en-us/releases/348" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(59, 56, 190) !important; font-size: inherit; font-weight: 500 !important; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">to North America</a></span></u> in the later half of 2020.</div>
<div class="inline-ad-para" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
The redesigned wagon boasts a 591-hp twin-turbo-powered V-8 engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, producing 590 pounds-feet of torque. When it arrives, it will join the A4 Allroad as the only wagons in Audi's U.S. lineup.</div>

"Throughout our 25-year RS history, the Audi RS 6 Avant is one of our absolute icons with a large global fan base," Oliver Hoffmann, managing director of Audi Sport GmbH, said in a written statement. "We will also be offering the RS 6 Avant in North America for the very first time. As such, we will be tapping into a new market with huge potential and generating further growth."</div>

While they remain popular in Europe, wagons haven't fared as well in North America, where crossovers, minivans and SUVs dominate in the family hauler space. Audi's sibling brand, Volkswagen, <u style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;"><a class="omnitrack inline-paragraph-link" data-omnilink="editorial-link" data-omnilocation="articlebody" href="https://media.vw.com/en-us/releases/1180" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(59, 56, 190) !important; font-size: inherit; font-weight: 500 !important; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank">said last month</a></span></u> that it intended to end production of the Golf Sportwagen and Alltrack station wagons this year, pulling the plug on a 50-plus-year run of wagon offerings from Volkswagen in the U.S. Similarly, sales of the recently introduced Buick Regal Tour X have slowed as well.</div>
<div class="inline-ad-para" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">

Ferrari is best known for flashy, high performance sports cars. Among fans of vintage Ferraris, more understated GT, or grand touring, cars from the 1960s, some with seating for four people, are among the most popular models on auction blocks and at enthusiast events. GT cars were designed to be comfortable on longer road trips.</div>

Elkann hinted Ferrari will unveil a new GT type car in November. Ferrari has said previously that about 40% of its total sales could come from GT cars by 2022, up from 32% now.</div>

Ferrari has outlined plans to expand revenue to 5 billion euros ($5.54 billion) by 2022 from 3.4 billion euros in 2017. The company has said it plans to add a model called the Purosangue to compete with a growing stable of sport utility vehicles wearing premium sports car brands, such as the Lamborghini Urus.</div>

<div class="inline-ad-para" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer said the company's first utility vehicle arriving later this year will be crucial for the British luxury-car maker, which is trying to revive sales growth and rebuild investor trust.</div>
<div class="inline-ad-para" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
The DBX will add about 4,000 units to annual deliveries after its launch in late 2019, Palmer told reporters in Tokyo. The automaker cut its overall sales target for this year by 11 percent last month to a minimum of 6,300 cars.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
The DBX will be the biggest step yet in Palmer's campaign to win over buyers and regain investor confidence in the Gaydon, England-based automaker. Waning demand in the U.K. and Europe have left Aston Martin's stock valued at a quarter of its initial public offering price just 10 months ago -- the worst-performing new listing on London's main market in more than two years.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
"The key, of course, is DBX," Palmer told reporters at the brand's dealership in central Tokyo. "When you see DBX, when you hear DBX and when you drive DBX, it should shout Aston Martin at you."</div>
<div class="inline-ad-para" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
Palmer didn't rule out raising more funding should Aston Martin need to replenish its declining cash pool. The company generated about 900,000 pounds ($1.1 million) of cash from operations in the first half, the lowest since it started to disclose earnings, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.</div>
<div class="crain-advertisement mobile-tablet-desktop adscount3" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: medium; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="inline-ad-para" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
"In a public market in the U.K, probably the investors would prefer that you had more cash," Palmer said. "If we felt that we needed more money, then we would step to an instrument which we understood, which will be to go to the debt markets and raise more debt."</div>
<div class="crain-idio-inline-7" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
The DBX will compete with the Porsche Cayenne and Macan, the Bentley Bentayga, and the Lamborghini Urus. Adding a utility vehicle is a tactic that's worked for Bentley, which has doubled production numbers with the Bentayga, and for Porsche, whose $50,000 Macan is the company's best-selling vehicle.</div>
<div class="inline-ad-para" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
While Palmer said the stock-market reaction doesn't change Aston Martin's plan of introducing seven new models in seven years since 2016, analysts are downbeat. They lowered the average one-year target price for the stock by 43 percent in the past three months, with Credit Suisse's Daniel Schwarz recently slashing his estimate by more than two-thirds.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
Meanwhile hedge funds have taken record short positions in both Aston Martin's debt and equity, the <em style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem;">Financial Times</em> reported, citing data from IHS Markit. The cost of borrowing the company's sterling-denominated bonds has risen to the highest of any U.K. corporate debt, according to the report.</div>
<div class="inline-ad-para" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
"Short-sellers are taking the opportunity of 2019 being an increasingly difficult year -- wholesale not quite enough, difficult market in the U.K. and Europe," Palmer said. "And because Brexit moved -- used to be end of March and now it's end of October -- it's not reasonable to assume that somehow the market is going to come back."</div>

Two of the newest manufacturers set to plug in are Hyundai, which will preview an all-electric race car at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month, as well as Honda, which says it will return to next year's IndyCar series with a hybrid-powered racer delivering "more than 900 horsepower."</div>

Hyundai offers a tease of what its hybrid race car.</div>

As with a conventional hybrid vehicle, the powertrains for the open-car race series will pair an internal combustion engine with an electric drive system though, in this case, that will be one specifically developed for motorsports using a "multi-phase motor, inverter and electric storage device that will create energy recovery from the car's braking system."</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">
Currently, IndyCars can produce as much as 700 horsepower. That will jump to 900 with the hybrids, but that could understate the boost batteries will give since electric motors can generate 100% of their torque the moment they switch on.</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", Arial, sans-serif; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 1em; text-size-adjust: 100%; vertical-align: baseline;">
IndyCar actually is a belated entry into hybridization, following both Formula One - which introduced the kinetic energy recovery system, or KERS, to racing - and the Le Mans endurance race series.</div>

What is unclear is where Hyundai plans to take the all-electric race car it says it is developing, and which it will introduce at the Frankfurt Motor Show a month from now.</div>

Honda is returning to IndyCar with a 900-hp hybrid.</div>
</div>

There is speculation that the project could be teaming Hyundai with battery supercar company Rimac. The Korean automaker in May announced it would invest $90 million in the Croatian start-up, though it was vague about what their plans were beyond developing an EV model that would become part of Hyundai's new "N" performance sub-brand.</div>

While offering a brief teaser of the car - which looks to be a small hatchback - Hyundai has little to say beyond a terse statement noting, "The move to electric continues the growth of Hyundai Motorsport, which has become well established in rallying and circuit racing since its inception in 2012. The multiple rally-winning WRC team, now in its sixth season, is currently leading a closely fought Manufacturers' Championship."</div>

Could Hyundai be targeting the World Rally Championship or perhaps even setting up a series of its own for the upcoming all-electric racer? That wouldn't be unique. Jaguar set up the I-Pace e-Trophy series to pair with Formula E.</div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Open Sans, Arial, sans-serif;">While few motorsports analysts expect to see battery-cars completely take over anytime soon, what's clear is that, as electrification becomes more the norm than the exception, both automakers and auto racing organizers are looking to stay ahead of the curve.</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Alfa Slab One; font-size: small;"><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />by: </span><a href="https://www.thedetroitbureau.com/" style="background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); box-sizing: border-box; color: #c3002f;">www.thedetroitbureau.com</a></div>

BMW is faced with enormous challenges, like other companies, even more so perhaps. The company has long been associated with a sporty driving experience-The Ultimate Driving Machine-and the coming world of electrification is not seen as glamorous and cool as the internal-combustion-engine (ICE) world of BMW's engines and stiff chassis.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
Of course, that is largely perception. While EVs are still hampered by range issues for most companies, EVs can go zero-to-sixty faster than ICE vehicles. BMW largely has the technology to make EVs every bit as fast and sporty as Tesla EV vehicles, but it must navigate the transformation in a way that does not put too much investment ahead of the consumer and the marketplace, while guarding quarterly profitability.</div>

BMW lost money on its automotive business in the first quarter of the year after it was hit by a 1.4 billion euro ($1.6 billion) charge for an antitrust case and by higher upfront costs for new technology. The financial services and motorcycle divisions kept the group in the black. Both the BMW and MINI brands are both feeling enormous competitive pressure.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
Still, BMW knows that EVs are growing, in China, Europe and the U.S. Thus, the company has set a goal of having 25 electrified models in 2023-two years ahead of its previous schedule. It said it expects sales of its electrified vehicles to double by 2021. The company is focusing on plug-in hybrids to achieve it.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
BMW and Daimler, which are arch rivals in the luxury car market, are in the midst of a strategic partnership focused on highly-automated and autonomous driving. That is an area that is still developing and won't pay real dividends until after 2030, so the two companies are investing $1 billion in a new venture to develop services including ride-sharing and charging systems for electric cars. Companies are writing a new playbook for cooperating with rivals to lower costs without compromising competitive edge.</div>

One of the drains on BMW's earnings is Trump tariffs on vehicles built in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and shipped to China. China has been a good export market for the German brand, but China has retaliatory tariffs on tariffs that Trump layered onto good going from China to the U.S.</div>

Honda and Amazon are teaming up to offer consumers a level up in customer experience and convenience: the ability to receive their Amazon packages in their vehicles.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
As of July 23, Honda started offering its U.S. customers the Key by Amazon In-Car Delivery service for subscribers of its HondaLink Remote Services connected-car system. It is unclear when the service will be offered to Canadians, but the move is a big step in the direction of modernizing the customer experience and meeting the needs of today's consumers.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
"The addition of Key by Amazon In-Car Delivery to our HondaLink Remote Package of in-vehicle services comes at no additional cost to subscribers, (and is) yet another way we are creating new value for Honda customers," said Daniel Tiet, project leader, connected business development for American Honda Motor Co., Inc. "This latest addition to HondaLink provides a new service, heightening the Honda owner experience in this increasingly connected world."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
Through the Key by Amazon app, owners of certain Honda vehicles with compatible HondaLink Remote Package and Amazon Prime membership can choose to have their packages delivered to their vehicles. The vehicles in question include the Accord, Accord Hybrid and Insight sedans, Passport and Pilot SUVs, and Odyssey minivan, depending on the trim and a HondaLink Remote Package subscription.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
"Customers must also be Prime members and located in one of 50 cities and surrounding areas supported by the Key service," said Honda in its news release. "Members download the Key by Amazon app to their smartphone, log-in with their Amazon.com account information, and then select the year, make, and model of their Honda. The Key by Amazon app requests the user's HondaLink credentials, which enables Amazon delivery agents limited use of the remote features through HondaLink."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
Customers can then shop on Amazon and select the "In-Car" delivery option at checkout. The day their package is due to arrive, the vehicle owner must park within two blocks of the delivery address they selected. They then have a four-hour delivery window and will receive an "Arriving Now" notification when the package is on its way to the vehicle.</div>

Here's a scary thought for those who take to the highway. As cars become safer, with new and more advanced features, drivers use them to engage in ever more risky behavior. One such activity: taking your eyes off the road for the "length of time it takes to travel a football field," or even longer.</div>

<a href="https://st8.fm/dd19" rel="nofollow noopener" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #101010;" target="_blank">A new survey</a> by the nation's largest auto insurer, State Farm, entitled "Are We Driving Dumber in Smarter Cars?" found that drivers with cars equipped with adaptive cruise control or lane keeping assistance said they were almost twice as likely to use video chat while behind the wheel compared with those whose cars didn't have this advanced technology.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #101010; font-family: "Publico Text", Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 21.12px; line-height: 1.48; margin-top: 25px;">
"These systems are meant to assist drivers, not replace them," warns State Farm Assistant Vice President Laurel Straub, who handles research for the insurer. "These innovations are designed to make our roadways safer."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #101010; font-family: "Publico Text", Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 21.12px; line-height: 1.48; margin-top: 25px;">
But that's not always the way it's working. In fact, the percentage of inattentive drivers rises when it comes to other bad behaviors like engaging with cell phone apps, manually entering a phone number and holding the handset while talking. More than half of all drivers with high-tech cars admit to doing this. As for reading and sending text messages, the percentage of drivers with advanced safety tech who get away with it jumps to 62%.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #101010; font-family: "Publico Text", Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 21.12px; line-height: 1.48; margin-top: 25px;">
State Farm also asked 1,023 registered drivers 18 and older who participated in the survey if they would take their eyes off the road "for less than five seconds." Half said they would. However, when driving 65 miles per hour, it only takes 3.2 seconds for your car to go the length of a football field. "Anything can happen in 100 yards," said Straub.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #101010; font-family: "Publico Text", Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 21.12px; line-height: 1.48; margin-top: 25px;">
Unlike ordinary cruise control, adaptive cruise control not only sets your car's speed but automatically adjusts it to the speed of the vehicle in front of you to maintain a safe distance behind it. In most instances, lane keeping assistance enables a car to stay within its lane.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #101010; font-family: "Publico Text", Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 21.12px; line-height: 1.48; margin-top: 25px;">
But they create a sense of "misplaced trust," said Straub. "The driver thinks the car can do more than it should."</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #101010; font-family: "Publico Headline", Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 2rem; line-height: 1.13; margin-bottom: 10.5px; margin-top: 25px;">
Far less than fully automated</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #101010; font-family: "Publico Text", Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 21.12px; line-height: 1.48; margin-top: 25px;">
The Society of Automotive Engineers characterizes these safety features as Level 2, which is much lower than Level 5 that signifies full automation. "There will have to be more tech advances before we see fully automated vehicles on the highway," said Straub. "And it won't happen anytime soon."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #101010; font-family: "Publico Text", Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 21.12px; line-height: 1.48; margin-top: 25px;">
But even a fully automated vehicle isn't safe all the time. Such was the case when an self-driving <span class="link" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><a data-invalid-url-rewritten-http="" href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/uber-fatal-crash-self-driving-suv-saw-pedestrian-didnt-brake/" style="background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #101010;">Uber SUV killed a pedestrian</a></span> in Arizona in March 2018.</div>

It features cool full width LED taillights, and a short rear deck to give the car a swoopy side profile. Opt for the available 1.5-liter turbo-four for a nice balance of sportiness and efficiency. For those who want the most potent two-door Civic, the 205-hp Si gets you a sport-tuned suspension with adaptive dampers, a limited-slip differential, and optional summer performance tires.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #262626; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
There's much to love about the new 992-era of the <a href="https://www.motor1.com/porsche/911-carrera/" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #c3002f; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Porsche 911</a>. The lines are smoother, the bodywork is voluptuous, and it all comes together to create a deliciously retro vibe that still looks and feels properly modern. <a href="https://www.motor1.com/tag/rain%20prisk/" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #c3002f; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Rain Prisk</a> on Facebook embraced the rear-engined supercar and recently created this amazing rendering of how the latest generation might look as a race-ready GT1 model. And yeah, it's simply gorgeous.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #262626; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
It's been a while since we've seen the designer's work, but it was well worth the wait. The long, relatively flat nose and steeply raked windscreen are a perfect match for the sweeping shape of a GT1 racer. Rather than simply adding flared fenders for a widebody conversion, this interpretation exaggerates the widened haunches with flush bodywork that stretches horizontally at both front and rear wheel openings. Combined with the center spine that connects to the massive wing, the racer looks like it's already moving at triple-digit speeds while sitting still.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #262626; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The design draws no small amount of inspiration from the classic 911 GT1 Evo from 1997. To meet homologation requirements, <a href="https://www.motor1.com/porsche/" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #c3002f; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Porsche</a> ultimately built 25 street-legal models called the GT1 Straussenversion, though both the road-legal and dedicated race cars differed greatly from the actual 911. For starters, the flat-six engine was in the middle as opposed to the rear. In fact, the only things shared between the <a href="https://www.motor1.com/tag/porsche%20911%20gt1/" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #c3002f; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">911 GT1</a> and a standard 911 of the day were the headlights and taillights. As for the engine, it was a 600-horsepower (447-kilowatt) monster in race trim and detuned only slightly to 536 hp (400 kW) for street use.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #262626; font-family: "Open Sans", Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This rendering looks far more production-based, which is a testament to the sleek shape of the new 911. And with the forthcoming 911 Turbo projected to already make 600 hp in street trim, motivating a new GT1 shouldn't be any problem at all. What say you, Porsche? Ready to go racing?</div>

Compared to its predecessor, the <a data-module-id="Mod271" data-module-name="Mod: BG: Anchor" data-sobject-id="Mod: BG: Anchor: 2017: Bmw: X6" href="https://www.motortrend.com/cars/bmw/x6/2017/" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #c10000; cursor: pointer; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">2020 BMW X6</a> is an inch longer in length and 0.6 inch wider. Its wheelbase is 1.6 inches longer, and the roofline has dropped by 0.7 inch.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #666666; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.6rem; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 1.8rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Like other large BMW crossovers, the <a href="https://www.motortrend.com/cars/bmw/x6/2015/x6-m-range-rover-sport-svr-gle63-s-coupe-cayenne-turbo-s/" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #c10000; cursor: pointer; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">2020 BMW X6</a> sports a massive twin kidney grille with its own unique shape, and for the first time, you can opt for an illuminated one. The grille also has active grille shutters that open and close to improve the crossover's ability to cheat the wind. Designers also gave the X6 the same headlight design as its X5 sibling and wide lower front fascia openings. In order to maximize rear seat headroom, the <a data-module-id="Mod271" data-module-name="Mod: BG: Anchor" data-sobject-id="Mod: BG: Anchor: 2020: Bmw: X6" href="https://www.motortrend.com/cars/bmw/x6/2020/" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #c10000; cursor: pointer; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">2020 BMW X6</a>'s roof has a double bubble design toward the rear. Its rear end is reminiscent of the <a data-module-id="Mod271" data-module-name="Mod: BG: Anchor" data-sobject-id="Mod: BG: Anchor: Bmw: 8-series" href="https://www.motortrend.com/cars/bmw/8-series/" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #c10000; cursor: pointer; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">BMW 8 Series</a> thanks to its thin taillights, which give the vehicle a low, wide look. The 2020 <a data-module-id="Mod271" data-module-name="Mod: BG: Anchor" data-sobject-id="Mod: BG: Anchor: Bmw: X6" href="https://www.motortrend.com/cars/bmw/x6/" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #c10000; cursor: pointer; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">BMW X6</a> also comes standard with 20-inch wheels, but you can upgrade to 21- and 22-inch rims.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #666666; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.6rem; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 1.8rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Moving inside, the 2020 BMW X6's interior looks like the cabin of the X5. The big highlights are the standard 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and the latest iteration of iDrive, which comes standard with a 12.3-inch touchscreen. BMW will also debut a new panoramic sunroof on the 2020 X6 that's 83 percent larger and is available with a cool Sky Lounge feature that mimics the night sky lit up with stars. Additionally, the 2020 BMW X6 will also be available with controls finished in glass.</div>

Two engines will be available on the 2020 BMW X6. The X6 sDrive40i and xDrive40i will get a 335-hp 3.0-liter turbo I-6 while the X6 M50i gets a 523-hp 4.4-liter twin-turbo V-8. BMW says the six-cylinder X6 can hit 60 mph in 5.2-5.3 seconds depending on the drivetrain combination, and the X6 M50i can do the same deed in just 4.1 seconds. An eight-speed automatic is the only transmission available. For improved handling, BMW also offers the Dynamic Handling package, which adds active roll stabilization and Integral Active Steering to help manage body motions during enthusiastic driving. An active air suspension is also available and can lower or raise the X6 by 1.6 inches. The Off-Road package, which is only available on the X6 xDrive40i, adds the air suspension, an electronically controlled M Sport differential, and four drive modes: snow, sand, gravel, and rock. M Sport brakes and an active exhaust system come standard on the X6 M50i and are optional on the sDrive40i and xDrive40i. High performance tires are available but only on the 21- and 22-inch wheels.</div>

On the active safety front, the <a href="https://www.motortrend.com/news/15-quickest-suvs-weve-ever-tested/" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #c10000; cursor: pointer; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">2020 BMW X6</a> comes standard with blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, rear cross-traffic alert, and pedestrian detection. Upgrading to the Active Driving Assistance Professional package adds adaptive cruise control with stop and go functionality, lane keeping assist, side collision prevention, evasion assist, traffic jam assistant, and an upgraded automatic emergency braking system. A new system called the Back Up Assistant, which is part of the Parking Assistance package, takes over steering the vehicle and pulls the car out by mirroring the last path it took driving into the parking spot.<span style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: 1.6rem; font-style: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-weight: inherit;">3</span></div>

More expensive models add extras such as multicontour seats, four-zone climate control, and a Harman Kardon audio system. Like every BMW, there are many options including wireless charging, ventilated and massaging front seats, a head-up display that projects info into a larger surface area on the windshield, a surround view camera, and a 1,500-watt, 20-speaker Bowers and Wilkins Diamond surround sound system.</span></div>

Like the M5 and M8, the X6 M and its X5 M sibling will likely utilize the same performance-tuned all-wheel-drive system with a rear-drive (aka Drift) mode as their car counterparts. Under the hood should be an upgraded 4.4-liter twin-turbo V-8 and eight-speed automatic transmission. The standard X6 M will likely have 600 hp while the X6 M Competition should get 617 hp and a host of suspension tweaks to make it more capable on the track.</div>

The Viper sometimes gets derided for being crude and low-tech, which may well be true. Its engine sounds like a tractor and cabin ergonomics leave much to be desired. Still, those brave enough to pilot the beast are rewarded with remarkable performance. And, when fitted with ACR trim and the Extreme Aero package, the Viper drives-<a href="https://www.motortrend.com/cars/dodge/viper/2016/2016-best-drivers-car-contenders-part-3-dodge-jaguar-porsche-nissan/" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #c10000; cursor: pointer; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">according to Randy Pobst</a>-like a race car.

This example was built in 2017, the Viper's final year of production. It's fitted with the signature 8.4-liter V-10, making 645 hp and 600 lb-ft. Behind that block is an old-school six-speed manual, which, in today's world of dual-clutch gearboxes, makes the ACR's portfolio of racetrack lap records all the more impressive. Those include at Laguna Seca, with a time of 1:28.65 set by none other than our man Randy.</div>

Exclusive to 2017 was available paint-to-sample finishing, a $2,000 option in which a buyer could select nearly any conceivable color for their Viper's exterior. This one wears Mexico Blue, a saturated azure tone more commonly seen on Porsches. The car has also been covered by full paint protection film since new.</div>

ACR (an abbreviation for American Club Racing) was a $19,000 package which increased the <a href="https://www.motortrend.com/cars/dodge/viper/2016/2016-dodge-viper-acr-first-drive-review/" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #c10000; cursor: pointer; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Viper's racetrack readiness</a>. It added carbon ceramic brakes-15.4-inch, six-piston front and 14.2-inch, four-piston rear-to better handle repeated braking zones. Its 295- front and 355-wide rear Kumho Ecsta V720 tires are near-slicks developed specially for the car, and at the time provided the widest total footprint of any production vehicle. Ten-way adjustable Bilstein coilovers doubled the spring rates of lesser Vipers and raised the ACR's limits of grip.</div>

Still not enough? The $6,900 Extreme Aero package made the Viper ACR even racier-just look at that wing. It's absolutely gigantic, among the largest ever fitted to a production car. The wing worked with an adjustable front splitter, carbon-fiber dive planes, and six-strake extended rear diffuser to provide over 1,500 pounds of downforce at 150 mph. Genuine competition-developed stuff, meant only for <a href="https://www.motortrend.com/cars/dodge/viper/2016/2016-chevrolet-corvette-z06-vs-2016-dodge-viper-acr-vs-2016-porsche-911-gt3-rs/" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #c10000; cursor: pointer; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">serious track day enthusiasts</a>.</div>

And that's especially clear with the Vision M Next concept, a striking plug-in hybrid that's as quick as an M8 yet can go around 60 miles on EV power alone. You've seen the photos and <a href="https://www.motortrend.com/news/quick-m8-bmw-vision-m-next-previews-flashy-future-car-tech/" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #c10000; cursor: pointer; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">learned about the concept</a>, but keep reading to learn about what the new BMW is like in person plus what angle Adrian van Hooydonk, senior vice president of BMW Group Design, especially likes.</div>

More than just text in a press release, the Vision M Next's dual-opening grille is faithful to the brand but really does have a sense of depth to it. Behind the silver grille trim you'd expect and the laser-etched pattern you might not, Thrilling Orange paint brightens up the trim behind the silver-accented grille. The effect powerfully emphasizes the latest evolution of a key BMW design element.</div>

In person, I'm still not a fan of the headlights. I don't mind that the headlights aren't placed side-by-side the grille—as on almost every production BMW sold today <a href="https://www.motortrend.com/cars/bmw/z4/2019/2020-bmw-z4-m40i-review/" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #c10000; cursor: pointer; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">except maybe one</a>—but I'm not a fan of how small the headlights appear compared to the enormous dual-opening grille. If you see the Vision M Next at an auto show, judge it for yourself.</div>

The rear wheels are one inch larger than the 21-inch fronts, and although it's possible that staggered look had some subconscious effect on my appreciation of the BMW concept's design, the more obvious orange accents on the rear wheels captivated me. Even though I'm still not sold on the "silk-matt" Cast Silver paint over Thrilling Orange accents, I like the idea of painting the rear wheels as a way to draw attention to the car's performance (BMW says the car can use rear-wheel drive or an EV-based all-wheel drive).</div>

This highly modified Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 75th Anniversary Hard Rock Edition will cross the auction block at Barrett-Jackson's Northeast sale. Nicknamed Inferno, the one-off <a href="https://www.motortrend.com/cars/jeep/wrangler/2018/lexus-lx-jeep-wrangler-mercedes-benz-g-class-land-rover-discovery-off-road-comparison/" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #c10000; cursor: pointer; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Wrangler</a> has three solid axles linked by a custom driveline designed to put its 707 ponies down to the ground. The locking differential from the stock Wrangler has been kept but the suspension gets a 5.0-inch lift, King shocks, and 35-inch off-road tires on 20x12.5-inch wheels. The builder finished the SUV in a special color called Inferno Red and added a carbon-fiber grille with an integrated LED light bar and custom wheel arch extensions. Inside is a custom leather interior with embroidered inserts.</div>

With just 125 miles on the clock, this custom Wrangler likely hasn't seen much action since it was completed. How much it'll sell for is anyone's guess at this point. There are a few other options when it comes to three-axle off-roaders, but this one is exceptional.

BMW is broadening its flagship model range with the launch of an 8-series Gran Coupe. The 2020 8-series Gran Coupe will go on sale in September, but pricing in Canada hasn't yet been announced.</div>
<div class="inline-ad-para" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
BMW Canada spokesman Marc Belcourt said in an email that pricing will "be shared with our retail network within the coming weeks."</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
The four-door, five-seater - a first for the 8 series - is a nod to changing consumer tastes and opens the 8-series lineup to a larger market than a two-door offering would.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
Old-school coupes have lost favour as buyers have moved to more practical four-door models, said Sam Fiorani, vice president with AutoForecast Solutions.</div>
<div class="inline-ad-para" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
"Today's four-door coupes give buyers the sporty image and performance they want with a usable back seat that is traditionally lacking in these flagship models," Fiorani said.</div>

The addition of the Gran Coupe body style will expand the 8-series' reach into territory occupied almost solely by the Porsche Panamera, he said.</div>

It is also expected to go head-to-head with the Mercedes-Benz CLS and Audi A7.The </div>

The 8-series Gran Coupe rear-wheel-drive (840i) and all-wheel-drive (840 i xDrive) variants will both be available in the United States when sales begin. They are powered by BMW's TwinPower Turbo 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine. It weighs 5.9 kilograms (13 pounds) less than its predecessor, produces 335 hp and can propel the vehicle from 0 to 60 mph in just under five seconds.</div>

However, the M850i xDrive will be the model available in Canada at launch in September, Belcourt said.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
"No final decision has been taken on if or when additional variants could be offered in Canada," he wrote.</div>

The M850i xDrive performance variant has a TwinPower Turbo 4.4-litre, V-8 turbo engine that delivers 523 hp and can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds. A new aluminum alloy provides a stronger engine block, BMW said.</div>

Both engines feature an updated eight-speed Steptronic Sport automatic transmission.</div>

The Gran Coupe is 22.85 centimetres (nine inches) longer, three cm (1.2 inches) wider and 5.6 cm (2.2 inches) taller than the 8-series coupe, and features a wheelbase that is 20 cm (7.9 inches) longer.</div>

With a rear track of 167.1 cm (65.8 inches) - which is three cm (1.2 inches) wider than the 8-series coupe - the Gran Coupe stands on the widest rear track of any BMW. In fact, the assembly line at the Dingolfing, Germany, plant where the car is produced, had to be modified to accommodate the new, wider platform.</div>

The Gran Coupe windshield features less rake than in the coupe to allow the roofline to raise to a higher point above the front seats, providing increased headroom. Rear legroom in the Grand Coupe increases by 18 cm (7.1 inches), while rear headroom expands by 8.6 cm (3.4 inches).</div>

The 8-series Gran Coupe also relies on lightweight materials to keep weight down and improve handling.</div>

Aluminum construction is used for the doors, hood, roof, front bulkhead, engine subframe and rear bumper support. The trunk lid is made from dent-resistant plastic while the cabin dashboard support is made from magnesium and parts of the centre driveline tunnel are made from carbon-fibre reinforced plastic. The M850i xDrive offers an optional carbon fibre roof that replaces the glass moonroof and lowers the weight and centre of gravity.</div>

The Steptronic Sport transmission's controller networks with the vehicle's navigation system, enabling it to take the planned route into account. Navigation data is used to downshift early, for example, when approaching an intersection to use engine braking to slow the car. The intelligent controller is also able to avoid unnecessary gear shifts between two corners that follow in quick succession, making it possible to drive through at a quicker pace.</div>

The precise-fit BRABUS bodywork components come with a choice of high-gloss or matte coating. BRABUS surrounds for the large air intakes in the left and right side of the front bumper and the BRABUS front spoiler lip, which likewise attaches to the bumper, are available to give the front an even more distinctive design. The BRABUS designers shaped the aerodynamic enhancement component to reduce front-axle lift at high speeds, which further optimizes the handling stability.</div>

For an optimal aerodynamic balance, the trunk lid of the sedan is fitted with a rear spoiler. The carbon diffuser insert for the rear bumper perfectly frames the two dual design tailpipes of the BRABUS sport exhaust. Of course, BRABUS will be happy to prepare an acoustic treat for owners of any E 63. The stainless BRABUS stainless sport exhaust with ceramics-coated tailpipes for all E 63 variants has not only a positive effect on the performance by reducing the exhaust backpressure. The integrated exhaust flaps also allow influencing the exhaust note at the touch of a button in the cockpit.</div>

The BRABUS looks of course also include tailor-made alloys, which have been safety certified for all E 63 models in various sizes with diameters of up to 21 inches. The range culminates in the BRABUS Monoblock “PLATINUM EDITION” forged wheels, which are available in different designs. The display vehicle sports Monoblock Y design wheels. Fitting the model name, this design fascinates with nine pairs of polished double-spokes that extend all the way to the outer flange and form nine “Ys” there. This measure benefits not only the thrilling appearance of the BRABUS 800, this tire/wheel combination also makes the handling even more agile. The BRABUS suspension module for the standard air suspension lowers the ride height of sedan or wagon by about 20 millimeters (.8 in) and can further amplify this effect.</div>

BRABUS offers the largest range of safety-certified performance upgrades and increased displacement engines for Mercedes-Benz vehicles worldwide. The power unit engineers from Bottrop have now developed another tuning level for the Mercedes E 63 S 4MATIC+. Generating even more power required modifications to the hardware of the engine peripherals. The development included calibration and endurance tests on state-of-the-art stationary engine test benches as well as extensive testing on the racetrack and in traffic. All these tests were used to recalibrate the mapping for injection, boost pressure control and ignition, which is introduced into the engine control unit by an auxiliary control module.</div>

The result of these modifications gives the BRABUS 800 its name: An extra 188 hp means 800 hp at 6,700 rpm for the turbocharged V8. The tuned engine also has a significantly higher peak torque: an extra 74 lb-ft translates into impressive 737 lb-ft at a low 3,600 rpm. The driving performance is correspondingly outstanding for a sedan: From rest, the BRABUS 800 with 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive takes just 3.0 seconds to reach 62 mph. The top speed of both body styles is limited electronically to 300 km/h (186 mph). BRABUS 800 versions with an even higher top speed are in development.</div>

The BRABUS tuning program includes the opportunity to add an exquisite BRABUS fine leather interior package. The interior appointments are tailored to customer specifications from a combination of especially soft and breathable Mastik leather and Alcantara. The range of colors is virtually endless and the designers in Germany are also able to fulfill any special requests regarding the upholstery design. In addition, there are tailor-made aluminum components such as the BRABUS RACE paddle shifters, pedals and door pins.</div>

Looking for a small SUV that's also safe? We've got you covered here. Below is a list of the safest small SUVs based on crash test ratings from the National Highway Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 1.6rem; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 1.8rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
A rundown on the criteria for the two agencies: NHTSA puts vehicles through front, side, and rollover crash tests that combine to produce an overall star rating, from one to five. Meanwhile, IIHS offers two safety awards. To earn a <a href="https://www.motortrend.com/news/iihs-announces-2019-safety-awards-stricter-criteria-go-into-effect/" style="background: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #c10000; cursor: pointer; font: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Top Safety Pick award</a>, vehicles must earn "Good" ratings in various crash tests, including the unique driver-side small-overlap front test, which simulates what happens when the front left corner of a car crashes into a tree or pole at 40 mph. The vehicles must score at least "Acceptable" in the passenger-side small-overlap front test, which is the same test on the right corner of the car. They must also nab an "Advanced" or "Superior" rating in front crash prevention technology and an "Acceptable" or better headlight rating. For IIHS' highest award, the Top Safety Pick+, vehicles must step it up with a "Good" passenger-side small overlap front rating and a "Good" headlight rating.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: inherit; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 1.6rem; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 1.8rem; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
All entries on this list have earned both a four- or five-star overall rating from NHTSA and a Top Safety Pick or Top Safety Pick+ designation from IIHS. (Some vehicles, marked with asterisks below, have been excluded from the list because they have not yet been rated by NHTSA.) All models listed are mass-market vehicles from the 2019 model year. Keeping these notes in mind, read on to find out the safest small SUVs currently on the market.</div>

This subcompact crossover is all about value. Starting at $19,685, the Kicks offers a quality interior with plenty of room in the rear seats and cargo area. It didn't qualify for IIHS' top award due to "Acceptable" ratings in the passenger-side small-overlap front test and the headlight category. NHTSA gave it four stars in the front crash and rollover categories, which along with a five-star side crash rating contributed to an overall four-star rating.</div>

With a cavernous cargo hold, roomy back seat, and wide-opening doors, the Forester makes great use of space. Although it's not the most powerful entry in the compact crossover segment, it benefits from a quiet ride on the pavement and solid off-road capability, plus excellent visibility. The 2019 Forester gets standard EyeSight safety technologies.</div>

TOKYO -- Toyota is ramping up electric vehicle deployment plans, pulling forward its goal of selling 5.5 million electrified vehicles by five years and aiming to develop a solid-state battery by next summer as it races to meet a "sudden surge" of EV popularization.</div>
<div class="inline-ad-para" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
Toyota now aims to sell some 5.5 million traditional gasoline-electric hybrids, plug-in hybrids, EVs and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles by 2025. Nearly 1 million of them could be pure EVs.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
Executive Vice President Shigeki Terashi, Toyota's r&d chief, outlined the new roadmap in a June 7 briefing about the company's EV plans. In December 2017, the company had said it wanted to sell that many electrified vehicles by 2030, five years later than the revised outlook.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
Terashi added that the company wants to unveil a solid-state battery for electrified vehicles ahead of next year's Summer Olympics in Tokyo. The technology, which promises lighter, more powerful and safer batteries, could be a breakthrough in popularizing electric vehicles.</div>
<div class="inline-ad-para" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
"Wanting to make an effort is not enough. You really should be able to deliver," Terashi said.</div>

"If possible, by the time we have the Olympic games next year, we would like to make sure that a solid-state battery can be unveiled to the public," Terashi said.</div>

Indeed, Terashi cited a "sudden surge" in their popularization for revising the EV rollout.</div>

"Progress has surpassed the target," Terashi said. "We have entered a new age."</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">

Toyota is ramping up its EV development plans, partly in response to increasingly stringent emissions requirements in China and Europe. It plans to start making EVs in China next year on its way to releasing as least 10 BEVs (battery-powered models) worldwide by the early 2020s.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
Toyota will not be abandoning the trademark hybrid technology pioneered in the Prius. It also aims to have electrified versions of every model in the Toyota and Lexus lineups by 2025.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
But EVs have taken on fresh priority. As part of the new plan, Toyota plans to introduce an ultra-compact, two-seat EV in Japan in 2020. It will have a range of 100 kilometers (62 miles).</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
It is also readying a new dedicated EV platform it has developed with partners.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
It is dubbed e-TNGA, a play on the company's new-generation Toyota New Global Architecture modular platform that the automaker has been rolling out in recent years. The EV version is an outgrowth of EV C.A. Spirit Corp., a nine-company consortium led by Toyota to develop and share components for electric vehicles. Other members include Subaru, Mazda, Suzuki and Daihatsu.</div>

Earlier in the week, Toyota said had agreed with Subaru to <a class="omnitrack inline-paragraph-link" data-omnilink="editorial-link" data-omnilocation="articlebody" href="https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/toyota-subaru-develop-electric-vehicle-platform" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; background: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(59, 56, 190) !important; font-size: inherit; text-decoration-line: none;" target="_blank"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">jointly develop </span></a>an all-electric platform for midsize and large vehicles and jointly develop an electric crossover.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
That vehicle, which will be sold separately under each brand, will debut in the early 2020s with the U.S. as a main target market, a Toyota spokesman said.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
Terashi said Toyota is working with Suzuki and Daihatsu to jointly develop a compact EV.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
The new platform will underpin six variations in all -- a large SUV, a medium SUV, a medium crossover, a medium minivan, a medium sedan and the compact.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
Toyota displayed clay concepts of many of the six body types, with distinctive EV design. The vehicles had long wheelbases, slit-like headlamps and camera-based sideview mirrors.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
Gone were the radiator grilles. The front fascia get a protruding hood for accent.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">ZEV factory</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
To better focus on EV development, Toyota created a so-called Toyota ZEV Factory last November. It is an in-house EV product development and business planning division with 290 people that takes technology developed by EV C.A. Spirit and tailors it to the Toyota brand.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
Terashi warned it could be a long time before EVs are profitable by themselves.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
A quicker road to profitability, he said, would be adopting a new business model.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
The idea is to not just manufacture and sell the cars, but to work with partners on wringing revenue from throughout a product's lifetime. That includes businesses in sales, leasing, sharing, peripheral services, used car sales, battery reuse and recycling.</div>
<div class="inline-ad-para" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: subpixel-antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: roboto, helvetica; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.6425rem; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px;">
"Once those become viable, he BEV business will become viable, even if the battery price remains quite high," Terashi said, adding that a new approach was crucial. "Unless we work on this at a very accelerated manner, we will not be able to ensure our future survival."</div>

On top of the stratospheric starting price, buyers can customize the King to their liking. Alligator-skin seats, real gold trim and specialty upholstery are all available for a price. Michael Nothdurft, Karlman's sales director, says a client in Africa ordered a Karlman King with a $3.5 million price tag.</div>

The King is based on a Ford F-550 chassis. The F-550 a massive truck frame that Nothdurft says was chosen for its proven durability and ability to handle the weight of an armored luxury vehicle. The King maintains the 6.8-liter V-10, suspension components and transmission of the F-550 and is therefore limited to 87 mph. The interior, however, is bespoke.</div>

The promotion of the new GMC Heavy Duty trucks fits nicely with the brand's "professional grade" tagline. That label of course refers to level of engineering found in these vehicles but it could just as well reference trucks that truly work for a living. GMC says that up to 90% of these trucks tow regularly; and it's this trait that is front and centre on this next generation of GMC Sierra HD.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 9px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
This 2020 GMC Sierra HD for example features a new Allison 10-speed automatic transmission mated to its 6.6L Duramax turbo diesel. That new transmission is already a significant upgrade, but to demonstrate the power of this new powertrain a GMC Sierra 3500 HD towed an 80-foot Viking yacht, suspended on a marine lift, out of the San Diego harbour. Granted, it was only a distance of about 75 feet, but this load totaled more than 225,000 lbs! It's these types of visual spectacles that all the manufacturers are now using to convey the message that its trucks are bigger and stronger. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 9px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
For 2020 the Duramax 6.6L turbo-diesel is tuned to 445 hp and 910 lb-ft of torque. Performance is also improved thanks to increased cooling capacity delivered by improved air induction. However, the all-new 10-speed Allison automatic transmission - (a first-ever offered in the HD segment) is the big story. This 10-speed with closer gear spacing allows the engine to operate in the optimal range at all times despite varying load and terrain conditions. GM says that this truck with its bigger frame, stronger powertrain and smarter technologies will deliver a greater towing capacity; in excess of 30,000 lb. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 9px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
GM has also announced that an all-new gas engine is coming to the HD lineup. Details are not available on it just yet; but this feature is of particular interest to truck buyers as many need the capability of an HD truck but don't do enough kilometers to justify the increased cost of the diesel engine option.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 9px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
News of power and weight capacity upgrades always seem to dominate any new release, but as important as these advances are it's the new driver assistance features that could be considered even more important. Why? Because these are the ones that will help the owner tow these weights safely. It's clear to see that the engineers responsible for the new GMC Sierra HD have paid as much attention to these as they have to cargo capability.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 9px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
For instance; an enhanced ProGrade Trailering system now includes 15 camera views, including a segment-first "transparent" trailer view to virtually see through a trailer in tow. This transparent trailer feature uses the tailgate-mounted camera and an available accessory camera mounted on the rear of the trailer. The resulting display helps the driver to virtually see through the trailer, a benefit when navigating parking lots, merging into traffic or making tight turns.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 9px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
Also part of this system is an in-vehicle trailering app that features a trailer light test, trailer electrical diagnostics, trailer tire pressure and temperature monitoring, pre-maintenance reminders and a departure checklist. Many of this trailering app's functions, including the lighting test and pre-departure checklist, are available with the myGMC mobile app -enabling use on a Smartphone from outside the truck. This level of Smartphone enabled technology will also extend to the control of in-trailer systems.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 9px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
As an example, in a compatibly equipped trailer, owners of the 2020 Sierra HD may be able to turn on the trailer's air conditioning or water heater, check water and holding tank levels, or monitor fuel levels on trailers equipped with generators - all before arriving at their destination.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 9px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
Other available technologies, hardware and trailering aids include:</div>
<ul style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; margin: 0px 0px 9px 25px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px;">
<li style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.2; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Auto Electric Park Brake which automatically applies the parking brake to maintain truck position when hitching.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.2; overflow-wrap: break-word;">A Park Grade Hold Assist enhances hill hold by using braking effort at each wheel for an extended period of time.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.2; overflow-wrap: break-word;">All-new larger, door-mounted trailering mirrors with a four-bar link providing power extend and retract for the driver and passenger sides.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.2; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Integrated trailer brake controller that works with the trailer profile in the Trailering App to recall a specified trailer's most recent gain setting.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.2; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Tow/Haul mode that remains engaged on the next key-on cycle, for up to four hours.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.2; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.2; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Trailer Sway Control.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.2; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Auto Grade Braking and Diesel Exhaust Braking.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.2; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Digital Variable Steering Assist that enables features like road pull compensation.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: inherit; line-height: 1.2; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Trailering Info Label placed on the driver's door jamb that clearly states the truck's specific curb weight, GVWR, GCWR, maximum payload, maximum tongue weight and rear GAWR.</li>
</ul>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 9px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
The look of the 2020 Sierra HD is slightly changed but stays the course of strong lines, square, powerful shoulders and elevated hood. Inside the HD has inherited much of the premium upgrades from the smaller 1500-series truck that was refreshed last year. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 9px; overflow-wrap: break-word;">
The top-of-the-line Denali, in particular, has added content in response to customers wants. These items include: premium leather-appointed seating, open-pore wood trim and dark-finish aluminum décor. The leather has a distinctive, large-pebbled grain with a contrasting stitch pattern while the open-pore woods texture evokes hand-planed furniture. </div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 9px; overflow-wrap: break-word; text-align: center;">
These trucks will be available at GMC dealers across Canada this summer. Pricing and further weight and power details will be released then. </div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
The automaker considers this a world-first in driver assistance technology, and plans to debut the system in Japan through its Nissan Skyline model in the fall of 2019.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
“Designed for on-ramp to off-ramp (ramp-to-ramp) highway driving, the new system engages with the vehicle’s navigation system to help maneuver the car according to a predefined route on designated roadways,” said Nissan in a news release. “For the first time, the system also enables hands-off driving while cruising in a single lane.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
It’s new hands-off (or hands-free) driving can be used when cruising in a given lane. The moment the vehicle approaches a road divide or when the possibility of passing a slower vehicle exists, the system will judge what it considers to be the right time to either brand off or pass a vehicle. Its information is based on data from the vehicle’s navigation system and 360-degree sensors.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
“Intuitive audio and visual guidance is given to the driver, who is prompted to put both hands on the steering wheel and confirm the start of these operations with a switch,” said Nissan.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 14px; padding: 0px;">
The vehicle is equipped with cameras, radars, sonars, GPS and an HD map. It uses this information to pull “360-degree, real-time information” of the surrounding environment and the vehicle’s exact location. There is also a monitoring system in the cabin that confirms whether or not the driver’s attention is on the road ahead.</div>

German carmaker Mercedes-Benz pledged today to decarbonize its new passenger car fleet within two decades - far earlier than what would be required under European Union law.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
The timeframe is the most ambitious out of a number of similar pledges made by European automakers recently, most notably Volkswagen's pledge in March to be carbon neutral by 2050.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
Volkswagen also pledged to launch 70 new electric car models within the next decade and have such vehicles make up at least 40% of its total sales by 2040.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
The Mercedes plan is being called "Ambition2039", the date by which the automaker's passenger car fleet will be carbon neutral. It also sets a target of making electric vehicles make up at least 50% of its sales by 2030.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
A big part of making the fleet carbon neutral is focusing on how to decarbonize the factories that make the cars. New demonstration plants are being launched to test how this carbon-free production process will work. Mercedes will launch a new carbon-neutral factory facility called "Factory 56" at its Sindelfingen plant in Germany. It will be powered by renewable energy. Mercedes hopes to extend this renewable power facility to the rest of its European plants by 2022.</div>

The company says it is focusing on the entire lifecycle of the vehicle, also decarbonizing its end of life. It will aim to have up to 85% of its vehicles recycled by 2039.</div>
<div style="background-color: #fcfcfc; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: tabular-numbers, Georgia, Cambria, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-variant-ligatures: common-ligatures; margin-bottom: 1.2rem; margin-top: 1.2rem;">
Mercedes will also work with its suppliers to decarbonize the production process for the car components than they purchase. It may insert carbon reduction targets into contracts with suppliers in the future.</div>

"We have set a clear course to help prevent further acceleration of climate change," the company said in a statement. It cited the Paris climate agreement as the motivating factor behind its business decision, saying it is "more than an obligation -- it's our conviction."</div>
