DRIVING: that's what it's ALL ABOUT! A blog and website for automotive driving enthusiasts, featuring my interests as I see them: news and opinion about manufacturers of interest, significant enthusiast cars, and driving them hard and well.
Very good review that accurately picks up on what buyers are finding post-delivery: great car to drive, less-than-anticipated mileage, and a couple of minor technical items (strangely, bluetooth operation can only be operated via voice - the same I found in my recent look at the car).
Good article in BusinessWeek Online about the decline of car salesmen. And about how there are too many car dealers. This isn't just about numbers - it takes a certain volume of cars being moved to be able to keep prices low enough to compete against other dealers of the same brands, as well as to pay the bills for attracting & training good service techs.
AutoWeek reports new details on the work Valeo is doing to sell its camless (lectronic actuation) engine technology to automakers, and reaction to that by BMW.
Good news: although the technology isn't ready yet, Valeo claims it will be offered in just a couple of years.
