Why the Automotive Industry Needs to Embrace Business Intelligence… Carefully
From a consumer perspective, we don’t always look favorably on the concept of big data even if it’s something that we don’t fully comprehend. The idea that companies are using information gathered about us to determine how best to market and sell to us is borderline offensive, especially in a world where new revelations continue to come to light about the end of privacy as we have known it.

2016 Ford Mustang: Year Two; Better than Ever
The “Sophomore Slump” which is used in sports to describe a reduction in production that takes place during an athlete’s second year in their sport certainly does not apply to the Mustang. Coming in with more vigor and pep than ever this second year run of this generation of the Mustang brings us a pony car that is fully ready to take on all competitors across the field.

The Impressive New Impreza
The Impreza has enjoyed a long and storied history of being one of the most active and attractive cars especially for tuner lovers. This car has stood out among its classmates as one of the few hatchbacks with standard all-wheel drive, which is actually found on every trim level of this awesome little car. This singular difference has been enough for many to make the choice to purchase the Impreza over other vehicle models, but is no longer the only reason to purchase the Impreza.
What Do You Get…
…when you put a pair of comedians in a 1964 Morgan what exactly are you going to get. If you are a fan of Jerry Seinfeld’s new online video series “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” you can easily find out as Jerry picks up Stephen Colbert in this classic automobile. Colbert has been named as the successor to David Letterman for “The Late Show” and offers a completely different look and wit than what Letterman brought to the show for so many years, night after night. So what makes this a comedic scene, other than the two experts, let’s see?
