While there isn’t supposed to be racial divides when it comes to vehicles, there are some vehicles that become recognized by various organizations that are made to support, inform and assist a particular segment of the community such as Hispanic families, African-American families or Asian families. With organizations that do offer this support, there is often awards that are presented to different products as being better able to serve the community that is the subject of the reporting organization. When it comes to the Hispanic community, there is one SUV that’s perfect for the driving and needs of this community.

How do You Remain the Leader?
The midsize truck segment was reinvigorated by the release of the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon. Adding these two trucks back to the segment ensured the midsize truck market would be competitive once again. At the time it was easy for GM to reenter the market as a leader with many of the other models growing long in the tooth as older version of what had made them successful for many years. As GM quickly took over the market other brands began to take notice and begin updating their midsize trucks to continue the competitive spirit of what we want in our smaller trucks.

Formula E racing is fairly new to the market as it only started in 2014 and at the time every car on the track was identical except in color and sponsor. Audi was one of the original sponsors of a Formula E racing team, but as the sport has grown over the past few years some teams are expanding and asking that automakers build their own race cars to give some differentiation to the cars on this circuit. This is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing racing divisions in the world and may eventually branch off into other areas of racing.
