LOS ANGELES – Mercedes-Benz’ new MyCOMAND system features a wireless Internet connection that brings cyberspace into the cabin, according to http://latimesblogs.latimes.com. Directions are obtained via Google Maps or MapQuest (off-board navigation). Any radio station in the world that also goes out on the Web can be listened to, and users may link up to their home computers and make selections from their downloaded music library or use Voice Over Internet Protocol (like Skype) to make calls. A Bluetooth phone connection is also part of the package.

You can see the system working in the ConceptFascination car on the Mercedes-Benz stand at the L.A. Auto Show.

Migration to 4-Cylinder Engines Continues with 2010-MY Ordering

By Mike Antich
The ongoing volatility of gasoline prices has prompted a growing number of fleets to transition to four-cylinder engines. This transition started in the 2008-MY and accelerated with 2009-MY ordering, when gas prices surpassed $4 per gallon in the summer of 2008. Early indications are that the migration to four-cylinder engines will continue with 2010-MY ordering. We have already seen glimpses of this trend in the 2010 RFPs submitted to major OEMs.
