  • Cadillac's CUE iPad app.

    There’s a clear trend towards simplification in automotive control design, even as telematics and infotainment systems get more complex. Cadillac’s CUE system, debuting in the ATS and XTS sedans, operates much like a tablet computer and is even capable of recognizing hand gestures (although this is currently disabled in the software, pending further study). In fact, Cadillac even uses an iPad app to train drivers on CUE. Interiors being developed by Mercedes-Benz and BMW go one step further, with the ultimate goal being to replace conventional knobs, buttons and switchgear with...

  • 2011 Ford Fiesta interior

    Safety isn't a glamorous subject but it's nice to know that when you put yourself and your family into a car you'll all be safe. Not just on the road, but sitting there and breathing normally, too. That's why manufacturers such as Ford are making the effort to put their cars through the rigorous TOXPROOF programme. Organized by the German road traffic organisation the TÜV, TOXPROOF testing isn't required by law, but its tests are incredibly difficult to pass, making any vehicle that does a particularly risk-free place to spend time. So what's the big deal? Is a car interior really a...

  • 2011 Volvo S60

    The all-new 2011 Volvo S60 is certainly much more charismatic than the car it replaces—with a sportier driving feel and even some track cred, yet more comfort than most other sport sedans. While the S60's driving personality—and safety, of course—is part of its appeal, it's also uber-stylish. And with safety increasingly emphasized across the market, Volvo is relying more on standout Scandinavian design to stay relevant. Volvo took a completely different route with the S60, especially inside, compared to most compact or mid-size luxury sport sedans. You won't find the...
