In our recent poll on road safety, we asked you about the Mercedes-Benz feature that pre-emptively works to protect you during a side impact. If you picked PRE-SAFE® Impulse Side, you were right! In 2002, Mercedes-Benz introduced PRE-SAFE®, a disruptive innovation where for the first time, active elements helped support passive protective measures to improve outcomes in the event of an accident.  While PRE-SAFE® Impulse Side enhances protection during a side impact, PRE-SAFE® PLUS recognises rear-end collisions and tightens the safety measures in advance. It automatically tightens the front seatbelts and applies the brakes to prevent the vehicle from sliding forward. Further, PRE-SAFE® Sound emits a harmless noise designed to trigger a reflex inside your ear to protect it from the pressures of a loud crash. #OccupantSafety #SafetyInnovation #SafeRoads

Increasing reconditioning cost on Used Cars have been on the rise, leaving Used Car Managers feeling the pressure to maintain front-end grosses. Average recon costs have surged from $1800 to $2200, reaching close to $3000 for older cars with higher mileage. As we navigate these challenges, why not disclose all reconditioning line items in the vehicle description? This not only justifies pricing but also provides consumers with peace of mind when making a financial commitment. Instead of complaining, why not showcase the investments made in Used Cars? Maintain a winning attitude in the face of these changes. #UsedCars #ReconCosts #Transparency #ConsumerConfidence

This generation of the Firebird introduced several advanced technological features that were ahead of its time. Notably, it offered electronic fuel injection in some models, which improved engine performance and reliability. Additionally, the Firebird came equipped with a digital dashboard, which was a novelty in the 1980s, providing drivers with a high-tech feel. The third-generation Firebird offered a range of performance options to suit different driving preferences. The high-performance #PontiacTransAm models were particularly popular, featuring powerful #V8 engines, sport-tuned suspensions, and performance-oriented features. These options made the Firebird a versatile vehicle that could cater to both casual drivers and performance enthusiasts looking for a thrilling driving experience.

An interesting article by Your Data Driven explaining the twisting world of suspension setup for better car handling. While stiffening the suspension does improve grip, but to maintain it, the tyres should be loaded within that ‘sweet spot’. Moreover, driver’s preference and the spring-damper combination makes a huge difference on the car being over responsive or under responsive. Changing the car setup is a bendy route, and this article makes you question it all, which makes it even better!
