Last year I ran an article about how to restore headlights when they get cloudy or yellow. I used a Turtle Wax product, appropriately called “Headlight Lens Restorer,” which did a great job at restoring them to a clearer look. One thing I did notice, however, was that it didn’t take long for the headlights [...]
Ford recently rolled out the new MyTouch system, and it has been garnering raves for what it could possibly bring to the automotive world. Essentially MyTouch is Ford’s Sync system on steroids, a Maxi-Sync, if you will. MyTouch seeks to blend Ford in vehicle features into a cohesive experience that will feature intuitive controls, [...]

The Kia UVO is the first rival to Sync, and is also developed in partnership with Microsoft. Kia just unveiled [...]
