Race car driver Anthony Liu did it. Of course, he drove the Veryon on a 5.6-mile straightaway at Volkswagen's test track in Ehra-Lessien, Germany, taking the speed record for a production convertible. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; On the rural roads in Napa, Calif., the best I could manage was a few seconds of maximum acceleration, making all four wheels grab pavement with neck-snapping force from the engine's 1,106 pound-feet of torque. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

It could be the most extraordinarily bizarre production vehicle in the world. The 2013 Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG makes no sense whatsoever. It's a German military truck dressed up in a veneer of civility with a hot-rod engine. It combines legendary off-road capability, AMG performance, luxury, and technology in complete disharmony. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And whether you love it or hate it is a pretty good indication of whether you operate from the heart or the head, at least when it comes to cars.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The sensible approach to the G63 AMG would be to reason that you will never use its three differential locks and then dismiss it over its dismal fuel economy. But for some of us, the roar of the engine coming out of the quad-sidepipes coupled with the goofy, boxy cab and chrome brush bar will provoke instant desire.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Everything old is new again My first clue to the absurdity of the G63 AMG came when I used the key fob to remotely unlock the doors, the door locks sounding like the pump action of a Mossberg 500 shotgun, then had to push a button on the door handle to actually open the doors. The car I learned to drive in, a 1961 VW Beetle, had similar door handles, giving a clue to the vintage of at least some parts of the G63 AMG.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;h4&gt;&lt;a href="/2300-10863_7-10016830-1.html"&gt;Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG is a beautiful kludge (pictures)&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/h4&gt; &lt;span class="currentlyViewing"&gt;1-2&lt;/span&gt; of &lt;span class="totalCount"&gt;22&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="arrowLeft"&gt;Scroll Left&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="a... &lt;a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/suv/2013-mercedes-benz-g63/4505-10868_7-35760086.html?part=rss&amp;subj=cartech&amp;tag=readMore"&gt;[Read more]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='http://CNET.com.feedsportal.com/c/34938/f/645452/s/2bf90fe5/mf.gif' border='0'/&gt;&lt;div class='mf-viral'&gt;&lt;table border='0'&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign='middle'&gt;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/twitter/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2Fsuv%2F2013-mercedes-benz-g63%2F4505-10868_7-35760086.html%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=Old+and+new+collide+in+the+Mercedes-Benz+G63+AMG" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/twitter.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/facebook/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2Fsuv%2F2013-mercedes-benz-g63%2F4505-10868_7-35760086.html%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=Old+and+new+collide+in+the+Mercedes-Benz+G63+AMG" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/facebook.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/linkedin/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2Fsuv%2F2013-mercedes-benz-g63%2F4505-10868_7-35760086.html%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=Old+and+new+collide+in+the+Mercedes-Benz+G63+AMG" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/linkedin.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/gplus/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2Fsuv%2F2013-mercedes-benz-g63%2F4505-10868_7-35760086.html%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=Old+and+new+collide+in+the+Mercedes-Benz+G63+AMG" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/googleplus.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/email/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2Fsuv%2F2013-mercedes-benz-g63%2F4505-10868_7-35760086.html%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=Old+and+new+collide+in+the+Mercedes-Benz+G63+AMG" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/email.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165665064916/u/49/f/645452/c/34938/s/2bf90fe5/a2.htm"&gt;&lt;img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165665064916/u/49/f/645452/c/34938/s/2bf90fe5/a2.img" border="0"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165665064916/u/49/f/645452/c/34938/s/2bf90fe5/a2t.img" border="0"/&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/cnet/mHpI/~4/NKUuEBeK2Ic" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><category domain="" /><pubDate>Wed, 15 May 2013 21:53:51 GMT</pubDate><author>Wayne Cunningham</author><guid isPermaLink="false">7-10868_35760086</guid><feedburner:origLink>http://reviews.cnet.com/suv/2013-mercedes-benz-g63/4505-10868_7-35760086.html?part=rss&amp;subj=cartech&amp;tag=title</feedburner:origLink></item><item><title>Lamborghini Egoista concept looks like a space fighter</title><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/cnet/mHpI/~3/KlQkrRneWxE/</link><description>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-57584643-1/lamborghini-egoista-concept-looks-like-a-space-fighter/?part=rss&amp;subj=cartech&amp;tag=image"&gt;&lt;img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim2/2013/05/15/ego_2.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;span class="image-credit"&gt; (Credit: Lamborghini) &lt;/span&gt; &lt;p&gt;We've seen some pretty &lt;a href="http://www.cnet.com.au/the-new-us3-9-million-carbon-fibre-lamborghini-339343566.htm?part=rss&amp;subj=cartech&amp;tag=embed"&gt;out-there limited-edition cars&lt;/a&gt; from luxury manufacturer Lamborghini, but its newest may have just taken the biscuit and sped off with it. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The Egoista, unveiled at the closing gala of the &lt;a href="http://www.cnet.com.au/celebrating-50-years-of-lamborghini-339344235.htm?part=rss&amp;subj=cartech&amp;tag=embed"&gt;50th anniversary Grande Giro tour&lt;/a&gt;, was designed by Volkswagen's head of design, Walter De Silva, and it's meant to be the ultimate in self-indulgence. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; "This is a car made for one person only, to allow them to have fun and express their personality to the maximum," De Silva said.

&lt;h4 class="universalVideoTitle"&gt;Google navigates new future for Maps&lt;/h4&gt; &lt;p&gt;Google Maps for mobile is getting some new tricks. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Coming to an updated version of the service for Android and iOS is deeper integration with reviews company Zagat (which Google acquired), built-in offers from participating businesses, an "explore" feature, and dynamic re-routing during navigation if there are accidents in the way. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Google also said it's built a standalone Maps app for tablets, which it plans to launch this summer. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;span class="image-credit"&gt; (Credit: James Martin/CNET) &lt;/span&gt; &lt;p&gt;The changes were unveiled during &lt;a href="http://live.cnet.com/Event/Google_IO_2013_keynote?part=rss&amp;subj=cartech&amp;tag=embed" &gt;the company's keynote at I/O&lt;/a&gt;, Google's annual developers conference in San Francisco on Wednesday.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Alongside the preview, Google introduced a trio of new Google Maps APIs for Android developers including a low-power mode, geofencing, and activity recognition that can determine whether a user is in a car, on a bicycle or walking. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Google now says 200 countries are a part of its MapMaker program, 50 countries are covered with its Street View imagery, and more than 1 million Web sites have Google Maps embedded. &lt;/p&gt;

These features will be introduced soon as part of Mercedes-Benz's DriveStyle app. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Local search will let drivers enter any term to begin a search, resulting in a list of nearby place names.

But I find it interesting that the automaker has gone about challenging the Ultimate Driving Machine in a very Mercedes-Benz fashion.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The RS 5 actually reminds me more of Benz' &lt;a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/sedan/2010-mercedes-benz-c63/4505-10865_7-34109041.html?part=rss&amp;subj=cartech&amp;tag=embed"&gt;C63 AMG&lt;/a&gt;. Like the C63, the RS 5 is a bit of a brute -- sort of a German muscle car, if you will. Both cars start with a capable sports coupe and then cram massive, powerful engines under the hoods. Both seem to place a greater emphasis on their power plants, their exceptional handling and corner capability seeming almost secondary to the raucousness of the engine note.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;But, as I'll explain in just a bit, those three cars -- the RS 5, M3, and C63 -- go about competing for the hearts of luxury sports car drivers in very different ways, with different and unique strengths.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;h4&gt;&lt;a href="/2300-10863_7-10016821-1.html"&gt;Audi RS 5 is a brute in a suit (pictures)&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/h4&gt; &lt;span class="currentlyViewing"&gt;1-2&lt;/span&gt; of &lt;span class="totalCount"&gt;27&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="arrowLeft"&gt;Scroll Left&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="arrowRight"&gt;Scroll Right&lt;/span&gt; &lt;ul class="slides"&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="/2300-10863_7-10016821-1.html"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="/2300-10863_7-10016821-2.html"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;... &lt;a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/coupe-hatchback/2013-audi-rs-5/4505-10867_7-35760943.html?part=rss&amp;subj=cartech&amp;tag=readMore"&gt;[Read more]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='http://CNET.com.feedsportal.com/c/34938/f/645452/s/2bec60cc/mf.gif' border='0'/&gt;&lt;div class='mf-viral'&gt;&lt;table border='0'&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign='middle'&gt;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/twitter/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2Fcoupe-hatchback%2F2013-audi-rs-5%2F4505-10867_7-35760943.html%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=There%27s+a+beast+within+this+sexy+sports+coupe" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/twitter.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/facebook/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2Fcoupe-hatchback%2F2013-audi-rs-5%2F4505-10867_7-35760943.html%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=There%27s+a+beast+within+this+sexy+sports+coupe" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/facebook.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/linkedin/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2Fcoupe-hatchback%2F2013-audi-rs-5%2F4505-10867_7-35760943.html%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=There%27s+a+beast+within+this+sexy+sports+coupe" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/linkedin.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/gplus/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2Fcoupe-hatchback%2F2013-audi-rs-5%2F4505-10867_7-35760943.html%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=There%27s+a+beast+within+this+sexy+sports+coupe" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/googleplus.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/email/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2Fcoupe-hatchback%2F2013-audi-rs-5%2F4505-10867_7-35760943.html%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=There%27s+a+beast+within+this+sexy+sports+coupe" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/email.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165663963121/u/49/f/645452/c/34938/s/2bec60cc/a2.htm"&gt;&lt;img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/165663963121/u/49/f/645452/c/34938/s/2bec60cc/a2.img" border="0"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/165663963121/u/49/f/645452/c/34938/s/2bec60cc/a2t.img" border="0"/&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/cnet/mHpI/~4/3EOqeh6kNsw" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><category domain="" /><pubDate>Wed, 15 May 2013 00:13:51 GMT</pubDate><author>Antuan Goodwin</author><guid isPermaLink="false">7-10867_35760943</guid><feedburner:origLink>http://reviews.cnet.com/coupe-hatchback/2013-audi-rs-5/4505-10867_7-35760943.html?part=rss&amp;subj=cartech&amp;tag=title</feedburner:origLink></item><item><title>The truth about driving under the influence of Google Glass</title><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/cnet/mHpI/~3/VKHbxbCu15M/</link><description>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-33617_3-57584063-276/the-truth-about-driving-under-the-influence-of-google-glass/?part=rss&amp;subj=cartech&amp;tag=image"&gt;&lt;img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim2/2013/05/12/968046_10100516145646805_1975491628_n.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p class="image-caption"&gt;I didn&amp;#39;t die while driving with these things on.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span class="image-credit"&gt; (Credit: Ben Parr / CNET) &lt;/span&gt; &lt;p&gt;I drove from Los Angeles to San Francisco while wearing Google Glass, and I did not get into an accident.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;That's the first thing you should know about using Glass while driving. The second thing you should know is this: It's absolutely safer driving with Glass than picking up your phone and looking down -- something that we know we're not supposed to do, but the vast majority of us do anyway.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The Verge wrote a &lt;a href="http://www.theverge.com/2013/5/6/4305880/using-google-glass-stuck-in-traffic#pgh/17/4026"&gt;brief&lt;/a&gt; review of using Glass while driving, but it wasn't a sufficiently long or thorough test, in my opinion. So I decided to drive under the influence of Glass across Los Angeles for a weekend and wear it on my return trip to San Francisco.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Glass isn't a device that keeps interrupting your day. When you get notifications, it plays a distinctive tone, but you have to either touch your Glass or tilt your head up and down to view the notification. While I was driving, I tried not to look at these notifications until I was parked at a stoplight (though sometimes curiosity got the best of me). You absolutely need to adjust the head-tilt settings so you don't keep activating Glass whenever you hit a bump.

Over time, we began to expect so much more. We wanted hands-free calling, syncing of contacts, large databases of local destinations, and traffic data. The bar for what counted as a &lt;a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/best-gps/?part=rss&amp;subj=cartech&amp;tag=embed"&gt;good GPS device&lt;/a&gt; had to be raised.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;Related stories&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="/8301-3513_7-57584722/navigating-the-changes-to-google-maps-at-i-o-2013/"&gt;Navigating the changes to Google Maps at I/O 2013&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/4505-10863_7-35760943.html?autoplay=true?part=rss&amp;subj=cartech&amp;tag=embed"&gt;2013 Audi RS5&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="/8301-13579_3-57583814-37/google-maps-for-ios-auto-dimming-is-driving-users-crazy/"&gt;Google Maps for iOS auto-dimming is driving users crazy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;That bar is still rising, faster yet and higher than ever now that GPS navigators must compete with smartphones and tablets.

Maybe -- but only because maps would be Facebook's best way to route around Google and make money from mobile search.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Founded in 2007, &lt;a href="http://www.waze.com" &gt;Waze&lt;/a&gt; makes a navigation application for iPhone and Android used by roughly 45 million people. The app's mapping service is powered by the people who use it. Waze ingests all types of location data as shared, either implicitly or explicitly, by drivers. The app also connects to Facebook and incorporates social-networking functions so drivers can see their friends' whereabouts on the map, share their location, and even send private messages.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Should Facebook buy Waze, the social network will send a clear message to Google: "Watch out! We're on your tail."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Facebook would like to be a formidable force on mobile and not just capture attention, but ad dollars.

Technologies such as adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist make the tip of this iceberg among production cars, while Google has already done extensive testing of an autonomous car system. Automakers are beginning their own self-driving car programs, and the Department of Transportation is running tests of vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication, an important safety technology that will also play a key role for autonomous cars. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; But not everyone likes the idea of self-driving cars. CNET editors Wayne Cunningham and Antuan Goodwin took opposite sides on the issue, arguing for and against. Add your own opinion of autonomous cars in our comments section.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span class="image-credit"&gt; (Credit: Josh Miller/CNET) &lt;/span&gt; &lt;p&gt;Love for autonomous cars I love driving, but I also love the idea of cars that can drive themselves. My colleague Antuan Goodwin feels the same way about driving, but is not so keen on self-driving cars. Let me offer a few reasons that might sway your own opinion about why I want autonomous cars on the road. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Zero accidents Using 360-degree sensors that do not get distracted plus vehicle-to-vehicle communication for over-the-horizon perception, autonomous cars will not crash.

The 2014 Grand Cherokee takes the technology even further with its digital speedometer and integrated apps. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The result is a near-perfect luxury SUV that maintains real off-road credibility. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Rather than manual differential locks, the Grand Cherokee benefits from Jeep's Quadra-Trac and Selec-Terrain systems, which take sensor information and intelligently distribute torque to all four wheels. Likewise, an air suspension automatically levels the vehicle and aids in wheel articulation. As a bonus, that air suspension gives the Grand Cherokee a particularly comfortable ride on pavement. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The example I got into was a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit with four-wheel drive. Most models can also be had with just rear-wheel drive. The Summit trim comes fully loaded, and although it tops $50,000, it competes extremely well with the much pricier Range Rover feature for feature. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; In fact, the interior of the Grand Cherokee featured all the luxury and comfort I would expect of a Range Rover. The dashboard was covered in leather, colored in Jeep Brown. The wood trim, with its matte finish, felt grainy and natural. The front seats, power adjustable on each side, even had both venting and heating ... &lt;a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/suv/2014-jeep-grand-cherokee/4505-10868_7-35757039.html?part=rss&amp;subj=cartech&amp;tag=readMore"&gt;[Read more]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='http://CNET.com.feedsportal.com/c/34938/f/645452/s/2bad720b/mf.gif' border='0'/&gt;&lt;div class='mf-viral'&gt;&lt;table border='0'&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign='middle'&gt;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/twitter/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2Fsuv%2F2014-jeep-grand-cherokee%2F4505-10868_7-35757039.html%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=Tech+and+luxury+make+Jeep+Grand+Cherokee+a+superlative+SUV" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/twitter.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/facebook/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2Fsuv%2F2014-jeep-grand-cherokee%2F4505-10868_7-35757039.html%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=Tech+and+luxury+make+Jeep+Grand+Cherokee+a+superlative+SUV" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/facebook.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/linkedin/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2Fsuv%2F2014-jeep-grand-cherokee%2F4505-10868_7-35757039.html%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=Tech+and+luxury+make+Jeep+Grand+Cherokee+a+superlative+SUV" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/linkedin.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/gplus/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2Fsuv%2F2014-jeep-grand-cherokee%2F4505-10868_7-35757039.html%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=Tech+and+luxury+make+Jeep+Grand+Cherokee+a+superlative+SUV" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/googleplus.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/email/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2Fsuv%2F2014-jeep-grand-cherokee%2F4505-10868_7-35757039.html%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=Tech+and+luxury+make+Jeep+Grand+Cherokee+a+superlative+SUV" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/email.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/164876791518/u/49/f/645452/c/34938/s/2bad720b/kg/358-363/a2.htm"&gt;&lt;img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/164876791518/u/49/f/645452/c/34938/s/2bad720b/kg/358-363/a2.img" border="0"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/164876791518/u/49/f/645452/c/34938/s/2bad720b/kg/358-363/a2t.img" border="0"/&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/cnet/mHpI/~4/YshNZUX9WQI" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><category domain="" /><pubDate>Wed, 08 May 2013 19:19:32 GMT</pubDate><author>Wayne Cunningham</author><guid isPermaLink="false">7-10868_35757039</guid><feedburner:origLink>http://reviews.cnet.com/suv/2014-jeep-grand-cherokee/4505-10868_7-35757039.html?part=rss&amp;subj=cartech&amp;tag=title</feedburner:origLink></item><item><title>New Accord Coupe is an oasis of awesome in a desert of dull</title><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/cnet/mHpI/~3/x16MAW4bi1o/4505-10867_7-35757417.html</link><description>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/coupe-hatchback/2013-honda-accord-coupe/4505-10867_7-35757417.html?part=rss&amp;subj=cartech&amp;tag=image"&gt;&lt;img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim2/2013/05/07/2013HondaAccordCoupe18_700x500.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Is it too early to say that Honda's got its groove back? Maybe, but that doesn't discount how much the 2013 Accord Coupe V-6 feels like a return to form for the Honda brand. It's attractive. It's design is thoughtful. Most importantly, it's actually fun to drive.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Cabin tech We've seen Honda's new dashboard interface before in the Accord sedan and in the new Acura RLX (albeit, highly modified and reskinned for the premium brand).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In our navigation-equipped Accord Coupe, the infotainment system actually consists of two color LCDs and two different control schemes that work together. The main screen is standard to all Accord models and is an 8-inch display that sits at the top of the dashboard outside of the driver's reach. It's not touch sensitive and is controlled by a large control knob located low on the center stack, which is an odd placement. It's not as easily reachable as the center console placement that the German manufacturers have favored recently, not as visible as the high placement favored by Nissan/Infiniti, and requires a bit of reaching around the shift knob depending on the chosen gear.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The main screen is where the the majority of the driver's interactions occur, its interface split into four modes (navigation, phone, audio, and info) each accessible via a hardware button located near the control knob. Honda's interface is greatly improved in this generation; every function is easy to find and, with a few exceptions that I'll nitpic... &lt;a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/coupe-hatchback/2013-honda-accord-coupe/4505-10867_7-35757417.html?part=rss&amp;subj=cartech&amp;tag=readMore"&gt;[Read more]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='http://CNET.com.feedsportal.com/c/34938/f/645452/s/2ba30454/mf.gif' border='0'/&gt;&lt;div class='mf-viral'&gt;&lt;table border='0'&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign='middle'&gt;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/twitter/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2Fcoupe-hatchback%2F2013-honda-accord-coupe%2F4505-10867_7-35757417.html%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=New+Accord+Coupe+is+an+oasis+of+awesome+in+a+desert+of+dull" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/twitter.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/facebook/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2Fcoupe-hatchback%2F2013-honda-accord-coupe%2F4505-10867_7-35757417.html%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=New+Accord+Coupe+is+an+oasis+of+awesome+in+a+desert+of+dull" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/facebook.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/linkedin/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2Fcoupe-hatchback%2F2013-honda-accord-coupe%2F4505-10867_7-35757417.html%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=New+Accord+Coupe+is+an+oasis+of+awesome+in+a+desert+of+dull" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/linkedin.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/gplus/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2Fcoupe-hatchback%2F2013-honda-accord-coupe%2F4505-10867_7-35757417.html%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=New+Accord+Coupe+is+an+oasis+of+awesome+in+a+desert+of+dull" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/googleplus.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/email/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2Fcoupe-hatchback%2F2013-honda-accord-coupe%2F4505-10867_7-35757417.html%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=New+Accord+Coupe+is+an+oasis+of+awesome+in+a+desert+of+dull" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/email.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/164876805145/u/49/f/645452/c/34938/s/2ba30454/kg/355-358/a2.htm"&gt;&lt;img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/164876805145/u/49/f/645452/c/34938/s/2ba30454/kg/355-358/a2.img" border="0"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/164876805145/u/49/f/645452/c/34938/s/2ba30454/kg/355-358/a2t.img" border="0"/&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/cnet/mHpI/~4/x16MAW4bi1o" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><category domain="" /><pubDate>Tue, 07 May 2013 23:30:31 GMT</pubDate><author>Antuan Goodwin</author><guid isPermaLink="false">7-10867_35757417</guid><feedburner:origLink>http://reviews.cnet.com/coupe-hatchback/2013-honda-accord-coupe/4505-10867_7-35757417.html?part=rss&amp;subj=cartech&amp;tag=title</feedburner:origLink></item><item><title>Two Spocks go where many men have gone before: the golf club</title><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/cnet/mHpI/~3/VH0c8RtlxzE/</link><description>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-17852_3-57583286-71/two-spocks-go-where-many-men-have-gone-before-the-golf-club/?part=rss&amp;subj=cartech&amp;tag=image"&gt;&lt;img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim2/2013/05/07/spock.png" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;p class="image-caption"&gt;Oh, those poor golf clubs.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span class="image-credit"&gt; (Credit: Audi/YouTube Screenshot by Chris Matyszczyk/CNET) &lt;/span&gt; &lt;p&gt;It's hard being an old Vulcan.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Younger beings come along and just want to vulcanize you. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Old Vulcans have it so bad they drive Mercedes.

In fact, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that &lt;a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13746_7-57581077-48/nhtsa-pulls-back-from-driver-distraction-regulation/?part=rss&amp;subj=cartech&amp;tag=embed" &gt;manually operating a phone&lt;/a&gt; greatly increases distraction while driving, where engaging in a hands-free call showed no increased crash risk. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; To more safely use your phone in the car, get a mount that will keep its voice command button in easy reach and its screen viewable at a glance. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Mounts can stick to windshields and dashboards, clip to vents, or fit into cup-holders. A good mount will offer multiple points of articulation so the phone can be optimally positioned. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; For convenience, the clamp end should make it easy to attach and remove your phone, yet hold it securely. A phone becomes its most distracting when it drops off a mount and falls onto the floor, sliding under the seat or brake pedal. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; We have tested a variety of mounts that use varying means to hold onto phone and car.

Those activities included talking or texting on a cell phone, surfing the Internet, finding directions on a GPS or map, and changing a CD or DVD, as well as eating or grooming, and taking care of their child.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;!--pagebreak--&gt; &lt;p&gt;Most of the parents said they engaged in four out of the ten activities. Chatting on the phone was the most common distraction, while texting was the least common. Parents who admitted to distracted driving were also more likely to have reported being in a car accident.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"Lots of attention has been given to distracted teen drivers," Michelle Macy, lead author of the study, said in a statement.

Following critique in the press of Tesla's creative accounting, CEO Elon Musk announced revisions to the financing plan, now citing a net cost of $580 per month.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The two substantive changes to Tesla financing involve a revised resale value guarantee and longer term loans from partners Wells Fargo and U.S. Bank. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3&gt;Related stories&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="/2300-10863_7-10016824.html"&gt;Tesla progresses in cabin tech (pictures)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="/8301-13746_7-57584496-48/teslas-path-to-the-upgradable-car/"&gt;Tesla's path to the upgradable car&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="/8301-13746_7-57583701-48/tesla-stock-revs-up-after-first-profitable-quarter/"&gt;Tesla stock revs up after first profitable quarter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt; With the longer term loans, Tesla says the per-month cost of a Model S will be $580, taking into account the savings gained by running the car on electricity over an equivalent car running on gasoline. Tesla also says that those purchasing the Model S for a business can run the per-month cost down to $350. &lt;/p... &lt;a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13746_7-57582795-48/tesla-alters-financing-following-criticism/?part=rss&amp;subj=cartech&amp;tag=readMore"&gt;[Read more]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='http://CNET.com.feedsportal.com/c/34938/f/645452/s/2b7bd41f/mf.gif' border='0'/&gt;&lt;div class='mf-viral'&gt;&lt;table border='0'&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign='middle'&gt;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/twitter/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2F8301-13746_7-57582795-48%2Ftesla-alters-financing-following-criticism%2F%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=Tesla+alters+financing+following+criticism" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/twitter.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/facebook/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2F8301-13746_7-57582795-48%2Ftesla-alters-financing-following-criticism%2F%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=Tesla+alters+financing+following+criticism" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/facebook.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/linkedin/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2F8301-13746_7-57582795-48%2Ftesla-alters-financing-following-criticism%2F%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=Tesla+alters+financing+following+criticism" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/linkedin.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/gplus/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2F8301-13746_7-57582795-48%2Ftesla-alters-financing-following-criticism%2F%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=Tesla+alters+financing+following+criticism" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/googleplus.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/email/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2F8301-13746_7-57582795-48%2Ftesla-alters-financing-following-criticism%2F%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=Tesla+alters+financing+following+criticism" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/email.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/164876767086/u/49/f/645452/c/34938/s/2b7bd41f/a2.htm"&gt;&lt;img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/164876767086/u/49/f/645452/c/34938/s/2b7bd41f/a2.img" border="0"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/164876767086/u/49/f/645452/c/34938/s/2b7bd41f/a2t.img" border="0"/&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/cnet/mHpI/~4/icMd8Van0wY" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><category domain="" /><pubDate>Fri, 03 May 2013 17:54:40 GMT</pubDate><author>Wayne Cunningham</author><guid isPermaLink="false">7-13746_57582795</guid><feedburner:origLink>http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13746_7-57582795-48/tesla-alters-financing-following-criticism/?part=rss&amp;subj=cartech&amp;tag=title</feedburner:origLink></item><item><title>PanaVise 15504 PortaGrip car mount keeps a fierce grip on phones</title><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/cnet/mHpI/~3/_6XvOOGsiy4/4505-3425_7-35755681.html</link><description>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/car-audio/panavise-15504-portagrip-smartphone/4505-3425_7-35755681.html?part=rss&amp;subj=cartech&amp;tag=image"&gt;&lt;img vspace="4" hspace="4" border="1" src="http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim2/2013/05/02/35755681-0615_700x500.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;p class="image-caption"&gt;The PanaVise 15504 PortaGrip holds smartphones to windshields with a strong grip.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;span class="image-credit"&gt; (Credit: Josh Miller/CNET) &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Standing out as the 800-pound gorilla among smartphone mounts for cars, the PanaVise 15504 PortaGrip feels like it's been spending evenings and weekends at the gym.

The screws and hinges move as if manufactured to military spec. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I had no fears that this mount would fall apart while cradling my precious smartphone.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This suction cup mount, designed to stick to a car's windshield while keeping a smartphone visible to the driver, has multiple pivot points on its arm and uses a ratcheting clamp to hold smartphones in place.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;However, it lacks any sort of power pass-through, USB ports, or channels to run a phone-charging cable down to a car's 12-volt power point.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Suction with a twist The sucker end uses a twist switch to increase suction, rather than a lever like many other windshield mounts. Placing the suction cup against the windshield of a car, I twisted the switch and the suction locked it in place. In fact, it became so strongly locked that as I pulled on it to test its hold, the entire car rocked on its suspension. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;I like this suction mechanism, as it feels solid and locks well, and PanaVise includes helpful engravings in the plastic showing the lock an... &lt;a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/car-audio/panavise-15504-portagrip-smartphone/4505-3425_7-35755681.html?part=rss&amp;subj=cartech&amp;tag=readMore"&gt;[Read more]&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='http://CNET.com.feedsportal.com/c/34938/f/645452/s/2b70b849/mf.gif' border='0'/&gt;&lt;div class='mf-viral'&gt;&lt;table border='0'&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign='middle'&gt;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/twitter/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2Fcar-audio%2Fpanavise-15504-portagrip-smartphone%2F4505-3425_7-35755681.html%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=PanaVise+15504+PortaGrip+car+mount+keeps+a+fierce+grip+on+phones" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/twitter.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/facebook/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2Fcar-audio%2Fpanavise-15504-portagrip-smartphone%2F4505-3425_7-35755681.html%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=PanaVise+15504+PortaGrip+car+mount+keeps+a+fierce+grip+on+phones" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/facebook.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/linkedin/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2Fcar-audio%2Fpanavise-15504-portagrip-smartphone%2F4505-3425_7-35755681.html%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=PanaVise+15504+PortaGrip+car+mount+keeps+a+fierce+grip+on+phones" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/linkedin.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/gplus/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2Fcar-audio%2Fpanavise-15504-portagrip-smartphone%2F4505-3425_7-35755681.html%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=PanaVise+15504+PortaGrip+car+mount+keeps+a+fierce+grip+on+phones" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/googleplus.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/share/email/?u=http%3A%2F%2Freviews.cnet.com%2Fcar-audio%2Fpanavise-15504-portagrip-smartphone%2F4505-3425_7-35755681.html%3Fpart%3Drss%26subj%3Dcartech%26tag%3Dtitle&amp;t=PanaVise+15504+PortaGrip+car+mount+keeps+a+fierce+grip+on+phones" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/social/email.png" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/164876691382/u/49/f/645452/c/34938/s/2b70b849/kg/342-355/a2.htm"&gt;&lt;img src="http://da.feedsportal.com/r/164876691382/u/49/f/645452/c/34938/s/2b70b849/kg/342-355/a2.img" border="0"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img width="1" height="1" src="http://pi.feedsportal.com/r/164876691382/u/49/f/645452/c/34938/s/2b70b849/kg/342-355/a2t.img" border="0"/&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/cnet/mHpI/~4/_6XvOOGsiy4" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><category domain="" /><pubDate>Thu, 02 May 2013 17:27:46 GMT</pubDate><author>Wayne Cunningham</author><guid isPermaLink="false">7-3425_35755681</guid><feedburner:origLink>http://reviews.cnet.com/car-audio/panavise-15504-portagrip-smartphone/4505-3425_7-35755681.html?part=rss&amp;subj=cartech&amp;tag=title</feedburner:origLink></item></channel></rss>
