Automotive
Volkswagen has dropped the eight-year-long “Das Auto” campaign after a push to restructure its marketing strategy in the wake of Dieselgate.
After some very minor cosmetic changes(new wheels, LED lighting), the 6.2-liter 2016 Chevy SS has hit dealerships. The four-door muscle-sedan will start at $48,870.
There are rumors that BMW will announce an M Performance version of the 7-series, reportedly called the M760Li, in the near future. According to (what appears to be) leaked information from BMW’s website, the tuned 7-Series may utilize a V12.
Gear
We can be a clumsy. But when you’re holding a $500 iPad, fumbles can get expensive pretty fast. Fortunately, Urban Armor Gear has designed the ultimate iPad case to keep tablets safe and sound.
A good infotainment system is a beautiful thing. It can also be a distracting one. Exploride is aiming to keep drivers on the right path with its new automotive infotainment display, an HUD system that projects mapping onto glass located on a vehicle’s dash.
Lifestyle
Everyone has a car or truck close to their heart. For the 4x4 faithful, that’s often an International Scout. Wear the love on chest with this neat, canoe-carrying IH tee from Huckberry.
If you mechanical movement, you probably love locomotives. Good news: One of America’s best model train shows is currently being held at New York’s Botanical Gardens, scheduled to run until Jan. 18, 2016.
