Standard on the redesigned 2010 E-class models will be Mercedes' new Attention Assist system, designed to detect drowsiness on the part of the driver in the early stages, before it becomes a real danger, the German automaker said. It uses various sensors to monitor the driver's behavior, including slight weaving of the vehicle that results in "patterns of minor steering corrections," Mercedes said... Full article...

The good news is that there are still more car-centric events to enjoy in the five weeks before kids go back to school and the lakes begin to quiet. Of course, the Woodward Dream Cruise is Aug. 15. Don't be surprised to see yellow tape and old motorhomes showing up a week earlier. Many residents who live along the Woodward corridor from Ferndale to Pontiac have already made plans to be...

Whether by bad luck, bad design or the stars just stop aligning; every good and bad thing passes. But that doesn't mean it can't come back: Cinderella may have cleaned a lot of fireplaces, but even she got hitched. The Ford Taurus arrived three decades ago with a youthful vigor that would propel it to become the No. 1 sedan in America. It was a winner, a juggernaut, the San Francisco 49ers of the '80s with Joe Montana in the driver's seat. But Montana split for the Kansas City... Full article...

I hope it applies for citizenship. A powerful turbocharged all-wheel drive little coupe is the kind of citizen we need to encourage to immigrate here. The redesigned TT is already a looker, refined with a modern and graceful appearance, its curvy fenders matching the gentle slope of the roof. The TTS adds some pieces that help differentiate itself from the regular TT, but nothing... Full article...

Starting at the small end of the scale but punching well above its weight is the Kia Soul. This Korean newcomer steps into a sub-compact class already populated by several strong contenders, notably the Scion xB and the Nissan Cube. But in a category where cereal box-styling seems to dominate, the Soul manages to carve its niche with a design that looks practical and sporty at the... Full article...

That's why we invented Costco. The buy-it-by-the-barrelful mentality perpetuates the American need to gather too much stuff while hunting for a deal. I've gone broke saving money at this mega-volume store. For some, the problem with Costco is the same as the problem with many SUVs: Both offer too much and are just too big for practical purposes. No one tows a boat to work every day, and no one needs 200 frozen chicken breasts. Downsizing is the new... Full article...
