Turn Your Vehicle into A Rolling Internet Connection


CES takes its own kind of decadence to Sin City, one that cranks up consumption by giving the gadgets you got last month already feel retro. But it also has been the event where we’ve taken our first appearances at tech that rapidly moved into our daily lives–the VCR in 1970, the camcorder and CD player in 1981, DVRs and high-definition TVs in 1998.

Coming soon to a storage near you is a ehicle that will download your work schedule and activate your alarm clock. By the time you obtain behind the wheel and rim, the car will have assessed the morning’s traffic and weather conditions and measured the best route to get you to the office on time. You won’t even need to touch the radio – it’s already playing the same station you were hearing in the house. And as you pull away, it will shut the garage door and turn off the lights.

Ford Fusion for 2013 Reveals

It's uncommon for a vehicle to sell better at the end of its life, but that's the case Ford has on its hands with today's Fusion sedan. Last year, the firm sold almost 250,000 Fusion cars, putting it forward of the Honda Accord on the yearly family-car sales graphs. Although it's still selling firmly, a alternative is in the works in the type of the 2013 Ford Fusion, launched to the world at the 2012 Detroit auto show. Like some other rivals, the Fusion's dropping all V-6 engines from its collection, and rather adding a pair of greener cars to satisfy hybrid and plug-in-hybrid enthusiasts.



The Fusion's trump cards could well be a pair of hybrid models. The "standard" hybrid model gets higher gas mileage and more EV range this time around: Ford says it can run on batteries alone up to 62 mph, up from 47 mph in the 2012 Fusion Hybrid.

To get a sedans at a reasonable price is a practical idea for us since we are still in the process of recovering our economy. Here are three types of different cars for you, which of them are under $15,000. They are worth buying from the comparison. Now, let's have a look.


The Chevrolet Sonic surprises all with its sudden appearance in the mix of cars in this segment. At first glance, the front-wheel-drive package seems like a pug-nose reprise of past efforts from GM's outpost in South Korea, but the new car expresses a far greater level of refinement.

For the second year, the Ford Fiesta sets the standard by which other cars in this segment are judged. The front-wheel-drive package is small on the outside yet space-efficient on the inside, while the 120-horsepower, 1.6-liter engine is alert as well as thrifty with fuel, delivering 28 city and 37 highway mpg with a manual transmission.
