Elderly Man Ends Up on Train Tracks After Following GPS Navigation

An elderly man drove onto the train tracks of a train station in his new BMW 5-Series. The 64 year old man did not understand the instructions made by the navigation system correctly and made a wrong turn, ending up on the tracks.

This is a lesson for you all, don’t let anyone tell you what to do. :grin:

Video: The Human Touch

Toyota has introduced yet another intelligent video, this time, featuring the “Human Touch”. It just shows to how much care is put into Toyota vehicles, allowing them to become a major car manufacturer. I especially like the turning headlights. But what’s up with the guy getting a purse out of the trunk in the end? Haha.

Although the video is neat, it’s kind of creepy too. :???:

S-Class Convertible?

Looking good? Haha. This is a rendering of what a S-Class convertible would look like. I think there would be some problems with the roof since it would have to stretch the length of the long wheelbase of the S-Class. I don’t think this will ever be in production. However, the S-Class coupe (CL) might.

IIHS Crash Ratings: 2007 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

Redesigned for 2007 to boost safety, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety rated the Mercedes-Benz E-Class as only “Acceptable” in side impact ratings. How could this be? This high-end sedan was just introduced to boost E-Class sales, and already it did not even get higher ratings than the Audi A6 nor the Lexus GS. Even the Honda Accord and Chevrolet Malibu did better than the E. Not acceptable!

More information and crash photos below.

Panoramic Roof Debate: 2007 Lexus LS

It’s official. The panoramic roof will not be an optional feature to the ultra-luxury premium sedan. Introduced this year, the new LS is set to compete with major high-end saloons such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Many of you may know already, the S-Class already has the available panoramic roof, allowing extra sunlight and a welcoming option for the rear passengers.

But why is this not an option on the new LS?

Wallpaper: 2007 Honda CR-V European Version

Good evening. I’ve uploaded 81 high-resolution wallpapers of the 2007 Honda CR-V for the European market. From what I’ve seen from the images, the European models feature a different headlight cluster, with Xenons. Also, there is an optional sunroof which is much larger than the North American CR-V.

Enjoy them! :razz:

Wonderful World of Headlights

Hint: Although this may look like a Ford, it is not.

Can you guess the vehicle where these headlights can be found? This one is a little more challenging. If nobody can get it, then I will put up a small hint tomorrow. Have fun! :razz:
