Google announced an update to Google Maps today that will make it easier for its users to find parking when they drive into town. For a while now, Google Maps users in the U.S. were able to see if parking at their destination was likely going to be difficult or not, thanks to the “parking difficulty” icon on the Google Maps destination card. This feature is now expanding to 25 additional cities outside of the U.S., including Amsterdam, London, Madrid, Moscow, Paris, Rome, Sao Paulo, Toronto and Vancouver. Google Maps users in the U.S., however, are getting an even more i...
As we first wrote there are many dealerships affected by the Harvey hurricane, leaving them with no inventory, but this is not all the car sales will also be affected by it at first.

Harvey struck over the weekend, leaving at least 10 dead, thousands of people displaced, and scores injured as the floodwaters rose. Texas accounts for about 9% of U.S. vehicle retail...

Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer said the carmaker has ploughed resources into boosting demand in the world's biggest economy since the June 23 Brexit vote last year.&nbs...

People in their area are still trapped in attics. The dealership itself is trapped. It has anything from a foot to two feet of water in them. It may be too early to start recovery operations. "We are struggling with the evacuation right now," Wyatt Wainwright, president of the Houston Automobile Dealers Association, said in a statement posted on the National Automobile Dealers Associati...
Are you waiting for the Frankfurt auto show coming up next month? If yes, we have good news for you. It seems Mercedes will be showing an updated S-Class cabriolet and coupe. The new teaser trailer from the company shows off the cabrio and its fancy new OLED taillights. You can see the left rear lamp in close detail, the better to highlight all 33 individual OLED elements. They're arranged in three rows, and you can see how the company took advantage of the thin profile of OLEDs in how the elements overlap each other and curve around the lamp. The company says each one is indivi...
