Every time you hear that statement you might start to think about the calendar and what this might mean. Is there a special holiday coming up, do you need to prepare your house for guests or get ready for a vacation? What’s happening that you need to get ready for? It’s a specific time of year, but what time of year is it and what does this statement refer to? It seems like you would have thought ahead to the activities that are taking place so that you’d be ready, but now the thoughts are swirling around in your head as to what you need to do to be ready.

There are some vehicles that are built perfectly and offer you the ride you’ve been looking for on the market for years. The Mercedes-Benz GLE is such an SUV. This is the luxury SUV that can take on the rest of the market and lead the way to every destination. There is a GLE for every driver as well with the GLE350 that’s fuel efficient, the GLE550e hybrid for the efficiency with more power and the GLE63 S AMG that offers you the maximum amount of power in this lineup and makes it easy to enjoy the ride with a road carving vehicle.

When it comes to concept cars the rules go out the window. The idea behind creating a concept car that’s not built to ever be a production model is to offer a conglomeration of technological advances that can all work together. The only real rule when it comes to a concept car is that it must work and operate as a car on the street or track, but otherwise concepts are a fantastic way to showcase what is to come or is possible in the future of automobiles, giving many automakers a basis to work from.

That may be the headline Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors wants to see plastered all over the news, but it’s more likely to be a story of simple luck rather than actual lifesaving features. Over the past several months this semi-autonomous driving system by Tesla called Autopilot has been mired with negative publicity because of the death that occurred in May while the Autopilot system was active. The discussion has turned to whether or not drivers should trust this system to do all their driving and if they can actually take their attention from the road when the system is active.

While the vehicles from the Smart company are small and typically only fit two people they do run on gasoline and haven’t been converted to electric as of yet. There is an offering of the Smart fortwo that’s electric, but the range isn’t what you would consider for a daily commute of at least forty miles. The Nissan Leaf is a car that offers a bit more in terms of range and is larger to give you more space for people, but a company from Canada has created a car that could be the right commuter car for most people to drive.

There have been developments galore when it comes to EV technology. Ever since Tesla showed up with the Model S a few years ago we’ve seen and experienced a rise in the number of vehicles that are coming out as EV models. The increase in these models has a lot to do with the reaction we’ve had to Tesla and to the fact that emissions regulations seem to be getting stricter across the globe. With that in mind, nearly every brand is working to produce their own EV model that can be displayed and admired by the public over the next few years.

You might not think you should take your Cadillac off road in fear of the damage that could happen when it comes to being on the trails, but the new XT5 wants you to take it out on the trails and enjoy the luxury of the Platinum AWD model that can be one of the most fun and impressive AWD vehicles to enjoy off the beaten path to find the right way to get to the lake or camping spot for the weekend. This SUV may be all luxury, but it’s also as tough as they come when you look at the crossover market.

How often do you travel in your SUV or wagon? Even if you only make one venture out each year during the holidays this video is one that shows you what can happen. I can tell you I’ve been guilty of loading up the backend of the car to the point of not being able to see through the rear window, but that’s a habit I need to change. Actually I may still need to load the car up, but it’s going to be important to have some bungee cords or ratcheting straps in the vehicle from now on to make sure everything is secure.

Tesla has been in the news in many negative ways following the crash in May when a man was using the Autopilot system of his Model S and ran into a tractor trailer which ended his life. There have been rumors swirling around this crash and all the facts haven’t even been discussed or released, but some of the rumors have stated the man was watching a movie on a portable DVD player when he crashed. The question around this incident had to do with whether or not the Autopilot system was to blame for the accident and his death.

Toyota is the largest and highest volume automaker in the entire world. They lead the way year after year with exceptional sales numbers that offer them the flexibility to be patient and make changes slower and with more deliberation than most other automakers. Because of this we seem to have vehicles from Toyota that have taken years to develop, but when they make their way to market they carry forth the reputation of being reliable and the right build for us to drive. The most popular of these models in our market is the Camry which has been used for more than just a typical commuter vehicle.
