Mercedes-Benz selling vehicle upgrades through MBUX
…
Mercedes has made much of its new Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) infotainment system, with its natural voice input and clever augmented-reality capability.
As it turns out, the system will also allow owners to remotely unlock certain functions after they've bought the car. Owners of the latest-generation A-Class, B-Class and GLE will be able to add things like digital radio, smartphone mirroring, and factory navigation once they've actually taken delivery of their car.
UPDATE: The new Clio has now been officially revealed. Click here for more images and details.
Renault's new 2019 Clio has leaked on social media, revealing a sharp new look inspired by the larger Megane.
Although it's not due for reveal until 8pm tonight, a set of official-looking pictures of the supermini have appeared on Instagram courtesy of cardesignworld, and it's a serious looker.
Carlos Ghosn was born in 1954 in Porto Velho, a Brazilian city on the fringe of the Amazon rainforest. In his autobiography "Shift", Ghosn recounts his grandfather, a member of the Maronite minority, moving to Brazil from Lebanon to escape the crumbling Ottoman Empire and, eventually, running several companies.
Bentley has recalled the 2018 Continental GT, over concerns about an issue with its electric power steering unit.
According to the company, a software fault could make drivers lost power assistance momentarily, forcing them to apply extra force to the steering wheel.
Should the power assistance stop at an inopportune moment, both the driver and other road users are at increased risk of an accident.
A total of 142 vehicles are included in the campaign – a VIN list is attached here.
Lexus has added the 2014 IS250C and IS F to the Takata recall list, expanding on a campaign initially launched in January 2018.
As with all Takata-related recall notices, a combination of heat and humidity can make the airbag propellant degrade. If a car fitted with a faulty inflator is involved in an accident where the airbag is triggered, metal fragments may shoot into the cabin, putting vehicle occupants at risk of serious injury or fatality.
