Good morning and welcome to *The Downshift*, or *TDS* for short.

Tight, light, and right, *TDS* gathers the latest automotive news simmering around the globe and places it in one spot. Stories are summarized in a, sometimes long, sentence accompanied by a link for those seeking more information.

The first cup of coffee is gone and I need to finish packing, so let's get into it.
