| The Classic Eldorados that Inspired the Creation of the Cadillac Ciel Concept Posted: 12 Nov 2011 02:59 PM PST  Cadillac has seen some dramatic ups and downs (mostly the latter…) over the past few decades but General Motors' flagship brand seems to be heading down the right road in the 21st century, slowly but steadily improving its product portfolio. And it's not just the upcoming ATS small sedan, the XTS full-size saloon or the pure-electric ELR coupe that make the future look very promising; it's also Cadillac's most recent conceptual model, the Ciel, which drew a lot of attention at the Pebble Beach classic car show in August.

After years of excessive borrowing, its economy eventually went down and the country's government was forced to turn to the European Union and the International Monetary Fund for help. Help was indeed provided, but at a price: severe cuts were required and the Greek government, despite initial promises, stalled for a long period. This caused fears of a Greek default that could spread to other European countries with vulnerable economies such as Italy and Spain, threatening the euro and even the stability of the European Union itself.

SchwabenFolia is a car wrapping company based in Korntal-Münchingen, Germany, and is responsible for the Roadster MF5's dark looks.

| MIT Study Suggests “Smart” Safety Systems May Lead to "Stupid" Accidents Posted: 12 Nov 2011 06:33 AM PST  Active safety systems are becoming more and more common in modern cars. Features such as lane departure warning or blind spot information systems are meant to let the car's onboard "clever" electronics help you avoid dangerous situations – and in extreme cases, take over automatically apply full force to the braking system. However, a recent study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on driver distraction suggests that there can be too much of a good thing, even in safety-related systems. Read more »
