For every market, there’s a sweet spot, a confluence of style and substance that resonates with buyers. That’s what Mercedes-Benz learned in 1997 when it debuted the original M-class. In the 15 years since, the competition caught on: The BMW X5 bowed in 1999, the Porsche Cayenne came in 2002, and Audi’s Q7 in 2005, while a slew of others now populate a mid-size luxury-SUV segment that accounted for more than 125,000 units this year as of November. Within that market exists a small, but vibrant sub-segment of V-8-powered offerings. READ MORE ››

Tow-truck driver killed by train while trying to help stalled car identified
San Diego County authorities have identified a tow truck driver who was killed by a train while helping a stalled vehicle at a railroad crossing.
The medical examiner’s office says 27-year-old Shaun William Riddle was struck by an Amtrak train on Saturday at crossing in the Cardiff area of Encinitas.
Authorities say Riddle had stopped to help a stalled SUV just west of the tracks and was trying to hook it to his truck on the tracks when a train approached.
Riddle got back into his truck and tried to move it off the tracks but it was struck by the Amtrak Surfliner. He was thrown from the truck, which was demolished.
None of the 125 passengers aboard was seriously injured but several complained of minor pain.

Porsche Cayenne
The Porsche Cayenne is the vehicle that enthusiasts swore would kill the fabled German sportscar brand. Instead, it’s been a vital piece of the company’s success story of the past decade–and one of the chief reasons it’s still here, and still building the 911, the Boxster, and the Cayman. A luxury SUV with a strong focus on performance, the…

2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 2-Door Review & Test Drive
‘THE KING OF OFF-ROAD WARRIORS’
You can go deep when you are piloting the Jeep Wrangler, and even deeper toward your off-road destination in the Rubicon. In fact the Rubicon model has successfully traversed the nearly impossible Rubicon Trail in the Sierra Mountains just north of Sacramento. This Trail Rated model has no foes when it comes to trail busting off the road. While it’s off-road prowess in world renowned, the interior is more civilized, comfortable and high-tech as any other sport utility model on the market.
New for model year 2013 includes an easy-lift top mechanism and anew premium material soft top. Wrangler also adds comfort and convenience features with new more comfortable and supportive seats, auto-dimming rearview mirror with LED map lighting, new interior lighting, dual windshield washers to better clear off debris, available Alpine speakers and a premium Tire Pressure Monitoring System. For the 2013 model year, engineers for the Jeep Wrangler-the most capable and recognized vehicle in the world-focused their attention on interior ergonomics and 4X4 capability. The goal was to make Wrangler even more enjoyable and comfortable on a daily basis from the inside out while continuing to improve its off-road ability.
With the introduction of the all-new powertrain for 2012-a 3.6 liter, all-aluminum V6 engine with DOHC and VVT generating a trail-busting 285 hp and 260 lb.ft. of torque mated to a 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic with AutoStick sequential shifting, Wrangler features improved on-road performance combined with even more off-road prowess. Now, with new features added to the interior, the 2013 Wrangler adds improved comfort to its long list of benefits. The result is an untouched level of capability off-road, combined with on-road dynamics, fuel efficiency and interior comfort that make Jeep Wrangler the perfect vehicle for fun daily driving, weekend trail-running or extreme off-road wheeling.
Passengers are now greeted by new front and rear seats. Re-contoured and with larger side bolsters, these seats are comfortable for long drives while offering more support for sporting off-road activities. Interior courtesy lighting is now found under the instrument panel as well as the cupholder areas for front and rear passengers. An auto-dimming electro-chromatic mirror is standard on all models and will feature LED map lights for front passengers. The optional premium tire pressure monitoring system can give direct read-outs for each individual tire. The Rubicon receives a new optional wheel design-an aggressive 17 in. 10-hole alloy wheel with polished accents and a mid-gloss gray painted inner face. My new Wrangler Rubicon came equipped with the beefy B.F. Goodrich LT255/75R17 in. T/A Mud Terrain Baja Champion tires with 3-ply sidewalls for extra strength off-road.
The 2013 Jeep Wrangler delivers unmatched off-road capability with legendary four-wheel drive and is produced with more than seven decades of 4X4 engineering experience. Wrangler continues to offer a body-on-frame design, front and rear five-link suspension system, live axles, electronic lockers, four-wheel vented power assisted brakes, and is one of the few mid-size SUVs that offers a six-speed manual in addition to its five-speed automatic transmission.
The Jeep Wrangler is available with several axle gear ratios allowing customers to optimize fuel economy and/or vehicle capability. Wrangler is available with 3.21, 3.73 or 4.10 ratios depending on model. Also, Wrangler offers towing capability up to 3,500 lbs.
The Wrangler Rubicon that I tested features heavy-duty Dana 44 front and rear axles and the Rock-Trac NV241 two-speed transfer case with a 4.0:1 low range gear ratio. Rubicon also includes electric front and rear locking differentials, disconnecting front sway bar and 32 in. tires wrapped with 17X7.5 in. alloy wheels all taking the Wrangler Rubicon to the highest level of capability.
The interior combines rich styling, versatility, comfort and intuitive feature use. Highlights include automatic temperature controls, heated seats, steering wheel controls for vehicle systems, dual cupholders, storage bin and armrest, dual map lights, storage bin above the center stack, variable speed wipers/washers, and thick cut-pile carpeting. The large rear windows are engineered for greater visibility. A USB port connects to the media center, a 12-volt accessory outlet. Standard features in the Rubicon not mentioned above includes A/C, Media Center, 368-watt 7-speaker Infinity sound system with subwoofer, audio jack input for mobile devices, Sirius satellite radio, temperature/compass heading, tilt/leather-wrapped steering wheel, reclining front bucket seats with height-adjustable driver’s seat, giant grab handle above the glove box, rear fold-and-tumble seat, rear compartment covered storage, instrument cluster with chrome rings with more chrome rings around the steering wheel center, switches and dials. Front floor mats round out the new up-level interior.
Optional equipment in my Rubicon Wrangler included connectivity group, remote USB port, electronic vehicle information display, Uconnect voice command with Bluetooth, power/heated sideview mirrors, remote keyless entry, power one-touch windows/door locks, security system, hill descent control, body-color 3-piece hardtop, body- color fenders, freedom panel storage bag, rear window defroster/wiper/washer, tinted rear quarter and rear flip-up windows, media center 430N SAT/CD/DVD/MP3/HDD/Nav system with 40GB hardrive, with 28GB available storage, 6.5 in. touch screen display GPS navigation.
The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon features the signature classic round headlamps, seven-slot grille, trapezoid wheel flares, removable doors, exposed hinges, a fold-down windshield and innovative removable and convertible tops and half doors that allow the Wrangler to retain the brank’s iconic appearance and function, plus the 4X4 Trail rated badge on the driver’s-side and the Rubicon graphic on the side of the hood. The exterior also includes side rock rails, swing-out rear door with flipper glass and holding the full-size spare tire, dual front tow hooks/single rear tow hook, transfer case skid plate shield, cruise control, fuel tank skid plate shield and front skid plate shield.
Standard safety systems include traction control, hydraulic brake assist, advanced multi-stage front airbags, electronic stability control, four-point roll bar, 3-point seatbelts with front pretensioners/load limiters, and electronic roll mitigation.
Built on more than 70 years of legendary heritage, Jeep is the authentic SUV with class-leading capability, craftsmanship and versatility for people who seek extraordinary journeys. On road or way off-road, if you want to go deep do it in a Jeep!

When Are the Future Jeeps Coming? Timeline for New Models, Diesels, and SRT
Five models populate Jeep showrooms these days—well, Jeep-Dodge-Chrysler-Fiat-SRT-Ram showrooms—but among them, only the Grand Cherokee and Wrangler are fresh. Deservedly, then, those two trucks have been runaway hits for Jeep, and make up about two-thirds of the brand’s sales. Jeep isn’t standing still, though: we’re coming up on replacements for the rather decrepit Liberty, Compass, and Patriot, while the brand prepares to add a subcompact model, and more engine choices. Here’s what’s in the seven-slatted pipeline, with all timing coming directly from high-ranking sources at Jeep:
January 2013: Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel
A diesel option comes to the Grand Cherokee this winter, its debut scheduled for the Detroit auto show in January. The “EcoDiesel 3.0″ is an Italian-designed V-6, and will deliver 224 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque. Assuming Jeep offers the diesel across several Grand Cherokee trim levels (and not just the range-topping Overland), it should be the least-expensive diesel vehicle with four-wheel drive in the U.S.
May 2013: New Jeep Liberty
Jeep’s upright, truckish Liberty is a relic from an older era, but it’s still a strong seller, and the company’s managers chalk that up in part to its genuine off-road look and ability. The replacement will launch in the second quarter of 2013 on a vaguely Fiat-related platform. There’s a small chance it’ll return to the Cherokee name. Either way, the new truck will see huge improvements in weight, fuel economy, and on-road handling, all helping to attract customers who’d ordinarily shop Toyota’s RAV4 and the Ford Edge. Jeep’s next-gen all-wheel-drive system should give the Liberty all the off-road capability customers demand. Brand CEO Mike Manley says there’s an “interesting business case” for a diesel engine in this truck.
2013: Mystery Wrangler Option
Next year, “we’ll give our customers the opportunity to do something very special with their Wrangler that they’ve never been able to do before,” a high-level Jeep executive told us. Based on the context of the discussion, we think it’ll be something along the lines of the JK-8 pickup-truck conversion kit that Jeep introduced last year. Two prime options are the Mighty FC and J-12 concepts, spectacular retro one-offs based on the Wrangler; both received hot receptions after bowing at the annual Moab Easter Safari event last year.
Early 2014: Single Replacement for the Jeep Compass and Patriot
After the Chrysler Sebring-cum-200, the Compass and the Patriot may be the biggest pariahs of the American auto industry. Even after a face lift fixed the Compass’s emetic snout, the two remain dull and slow, outclassed in every way by the competition. We’ll see a far-better successor in 2014, which could retain the Patriot name, riding on the new Compact-U.S.-Wide architecture introduced with the Dodge Dart.
Some Time in 2014: Subcompact B-Segment Jeep, Imported from Italy
Jeep will expand downward in its lineup, targeting baby crossovers like the Mini Countryman, the Nissan Juke, and a future Honda spun off from the Fit. An exec has told us that Jeep will get more playful with this vehicle than its other, stern-faced trucks, so that it’ll be very “youthful and fun,” but still will be “immediately recognizable” as a Jeep. There will be a Trail-Rated version, too, although this ain’t a full trip back to basics like the 1953 CJ pictured above.
2014? Next-Gen Jeep Commander or Grand Wagoneer
We don’t have a good feeling about this on-again, off-again product seeing the light of day. The Chrysler Group’s needs for a seven-passenger SUV are met by the Dodge Durango, and CEO Sergio Marchionne has said how displeased he is by overlapping products.
2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee V6 Laredo 4X4 – Long-Term Road Test
2012 BMW X5 M vs. 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML63 AMG, 2012 Porsche Cayenne Turbo – Comparison Test
2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon vs. 2012 Mercedes-Benz G550 – Comparison Tests
Where’s the SRT? And the Diesel?
Sorry, everyone, there’s no way to sugar coat the “no” here. Manley confirmed that no other Jeeps will go SRT: Sticker prices would be too high to make sense, and there aren’t enough shoppers interested in smaller performance SUVs. It’s a similar sob story on the diesel front. After the Grand Cherokee, the Liberty is the only other Jeep that’s in the running for a diesel engine. The EPA and state of California have set such high standards for diesel certification and emissions that the costs—for both Jeep and potential customers—don’t make sense.

New popemobile SUV includes bigger dome, new security features
German automaker Daimler says it has delivered Pope Benedict XVI his new popemobile — a customized Mercedes-Benz M-Class SUV with special security features.
The company says the new car was delivered Friday to the Vatican and people should be able to see the pope riding in it Saturday in Rome during a celebration at the Spanish Steps.
Compared with the previous vehicle, a modified M-Class from 2002, Mercedes has extended the dome significantly to give the pope more room and easier entry. Larger glass panels and better illumination also aim to make the pontiff more visible to crowds.
Daimler says the white-painted vehicle’s central interior design feature is a “throne” embroidered with the pontiff’s coat of arms.
The automaker declined to detail the vehicle’s “spectrum” of security features.

Aston Martin Sells Minority Stake to Italian Investment Group
Aston Martin this morning announced that Investindustrial—the group that recently sold motorcycle manufacturer, Ducati, to Audi—has purchased a 37.5-percent share in the brand. Investindustrial’s minority share came at a cost of roughly $241 million, providing Aston with a cash infusion the sports-car maker says will allow it to embark on “its extensive and exciting plans for sustainable long-term growth.”
Sources in Europe tell Car and Driver that such an influx of capital would allow Aston to grow its product line past the current lineup of the Vantage, the DB9, the Rapide, and the Vanquish. The hope is to broaden the brand’s appeal, and the first step in doing that would be to add an SUV to the lineup—the Lagonda concept that debuted at the Geneva auto show nearly four years ago would be ideal. Not only would the Lagonda broaden the brand’s appeal, it also would provide Aston with a significant boost in sales in markets like Russia and China, where sports cars are slow sellers because of their incompatibility with subpar weather and road conditions.
Investindustrial’s commitment of $241 million won’t result in the Lagonda getting the green light straight away. But this raising of funds is the first step toward Aston’s plan for long-term growth, which will see the brand invest more than $800 million in product and technology programs over the next five years.
First Drive: 2013 Aston Martin Vanquish
First Drive: 2013 Bentley Continental GT Speed
Comparison Test: V12 Vantage vs. R8 V10, 458 Italia, SLS AMG, 911 Turbo S
A number of reports this morning suggest that Mercedes-Benz’s high-performance arm, AMG, somehow will end up involved in this deal. The theory goes that Aston is interested in replacing the aging 5.9-liter V-12 that proliferates throughout the brand’s lineup, and AMG’s twin-turbo 6.0-liter V-12 would make a fine replacement. Aston tells us that AMG doesn’t fit into this deal in any way, but that the English automaker is free to consult with whoever it likes. Perhaps a better theory than a tie-up with AMG is a warming relationship with Mercedes, whose GL-class provided the platform for the Lagonda concept some years ago.

Counting the records based on condition
Hi Unix team,
I have a file with 30 columns with tab delimited. I need to count the records based on column 17 & 21 data.
So I cut the data from the file using
Code:
awk -F”t” ‘{print $18,$21}’ foo.txt
Following is the output:
Code:
USED SEDAN
USED SUV
NEW SUV
USED Truck
USED Truck
USED SEDAN
USED SUV
NEW Small
Now I need to count the records that are
A. Non SEDAN or Non SUV in $2
B. Records which are USED in $1, but only SEDAN or SUV.
Code:
Expected result:
3
4
I tried as:
Code:
awk -F”t” ‘{print $18,$21}’ foo.txt |
while read line
do
if [ “$2” != “SEDAN” ] && [ “$2” != “SUV” ]
then
((count+=1))
fi
done
Thanks.

Concerns over privacy as NHTSA prepares to push for black boxes in cars
Many motorists don’t know it, but it’s likely that every time they get behind the wheel, there’s a snitch along for the ride.
In the next few days, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is expected to propose long-delayed regulations requiring auto manufacturers to include event data recorders — better known as “black boxes” — in all new cars and light trucks. But the agency is behind the curve. Automakers have been quietly tucking the devices, which automatically record the actions of drivers and the responses of their vehicles in a continuous information loop, into most new cars for years.
When a car is involved in a crash or when its airbags deploy, inputs from the vehicle’s sensors during the 5 to 10 seconds before impact are automatically preserved. That’s usually enough to record things like how fast the car was traveling and whether the driver applied the brake, was steering erratically or had a seat belt on.
The idea is to gather information that can help investigators determine the cause of accidents and lead to safer vehicles. But privacy advocates say government regulators and automakers are spreading an intrusive technology without first putting in place policies to prevent misuse of the information collected.
Data collected by the recorders is increasingly showing up in lawsuits, criminal cases and high-profile accidents. Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Timothy Murray initially said that he wasn’t speeding and that he was wearing his seat belt when he crashed a government-owned car last year. But the Ford Crown Victoria‘s data recorder told a different story: It showed the car was traveling more than 100 mph (160 kph) and Murray wasn’t belted in.
In 2007, then-New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine was seriously injured in the crash of an SUV driven by a state trooper. Corzine was a passenger. The SUV‘s recorder showed the vehicle was traveling 91 mph (146 kph) on a parkway where the speed limit was 65 mph (105 kph), and Corzine didn’t have his seat belt on.
There’s no opt-out. It’s extremely difficult for car owners to disable the recorders. Although some vehicle models have had recorders since the early 1990s, a federal requirement that automakers disclose their existence in owner’s manuals didn’t go into effect until three months ago. Automakers who voluntarily put recorders in vehicles are also now required to gather a minimum of 15 types of data.
Besides the upcoming proposal to put recorders in all new vehicles, the traffic safety administration is also considering expanding the data requirement to include as many as 30 additional types of data such as whether the vehicle’s electronic stability control was engaged, the driver’s seat position or whether the front-seat passenger was belted in. Some manufacturers already are collecting the information. Engineers have identified more than 80 data points that might be useful.
Despite privacy complaints, the traffic safety administration so far hasn’t put any limits on how the information can be used. About a dozen states have some law regarding data recorders, but the rest do not.
“Right now we’re in an environment where there are no rules, there are no limits, there are no consequences and there is no transparency,” said Lillie Coney, associate director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, a privacy advocacy group. “Most people who are operating a motor vehicle have no idea this technology is integrated into their vehicle.”
Part of the concern is that the increasing computerization of cars and the growing transmission of data to and from vehicles could lead to unintended uses of recorder data.
“Basically your car is a computer now, so it can record all kinds of information,” said Gloria Bergquist, vice president of the Alliance of Automotive Manufacturers. “It’s a lot of the same issues you have about your computer or your smartphone and whether Google or someone else has access to the data.”
The alliance opposes the government requiring recorders in all vehicles.
Data recorders “help our engineers understand how cars perform in the real world, and we already have put them on over 90 percent of (new) vehicles without any mandate being necessary,” Bergquist said.
Safety advocates, however, say requiring data recorders in all cars is the best way to gather a large enough body of reliable information to enable vehicle designers to make safer cars.
“The barn door is already open. It’s a question of whether we use the information that’s already out there,” said Henry Jasny, vice president of Advocates for Highway and Automotive Safety.
The National Transportation Safety Board has been pushing for recorders in all passenger vehicles since the board’s investigation of a 2003 accident in which an elderly driver plowed through an open-air market in Santa Monica, Calif. Ten people were killed and 63 were injured. The driver refused to be interviewed and his 1992 Buick LeSabre didn’t have a recorder. After ruling out other possibilities, investigators ultimately guessed that he had either mistakenly stepped on the gas pedal or had stepped on the gas and the brake pedals at the same time.
When reports of sudden acceleration problems in Toyota vehicles cascaded in 2009 and 2010, recorder data from some of the vehicles contributed to the traffic safety administration’s conclusion that the problem was probably sticky gas pedals and floor mats that could jam them, not defects in electronic throttle control systems.
“Black box” is a mechanic’s term for a part that should only be opened by someone with authority to do so. The term is most widely used to refer to flight data recorders, which continually gather hundreds of data points about an aircraft’s operation during flight. Aircraft recorders, by law, are actually bright orange.
Some automakers began installing the recorders at a time when there were complaints that air bags might be causing deaths and injuries, partly to protect themselves against liability and partly to improve air bag technology. Most recorders are black boxes about the size of a deck of card with circuit boards inside. After an accident, information is downloaded to a laptop computer using a tool unique to the vehicle’s manufacturer. As electronics in cars have increased, the kinds of data that can be recorded have grown as well. Some more recent recorders are part of the vehicle’s computers rather than a separate device.
Democratic Rep. Michael Capuano has repeatedly, and unsuccessfully, introduced legislation to require that automakers design recorders so that they can be disabled by motorists
A transportation bill passed by the Senate earlier this year would have required that all new cars and light trucks have recorders and designated a vehicle’s owner as the owner of the data. The provision was removed during House-Senate negotiations on the measure at the behest of House Republican lawmakers who said they were concerned about privacy.
“Many of us would see it as a slippery slope toward big government and Big Brother knowing what we’re doing and where we are,” Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Pa., who is slated to take over the chairmanship of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee in January, said at the time. “Privacy is a big concern for many across America.”
