This Week in Blurbs
Here are stories from this week that are interesting, odd, entertaining, and/or of remotely tangential interest to the auto buyer, in blurbs:
- Audi debuted their digital showroom concept in London. Makes the Apple Store look sorta like Home Depot.
- The European version of the upcoming FIAT 500L includes an optional espresso maker. Why do they get to have all the fun?
- Possible Korean auto worker strikes could hamper production of Hyundai and Kia models. Still early, but something to keep an eye on if you’re considering something from those makes.
- Speaking of Kia, their version of the premium Hyundai Genesis may be coming stateside.
- Urgent recall on certain 2013 Ford Escape models. Ford is recommending they not be driven until the recall repair is completed.
- With the ever-loosening credit market, auto loans are even easier to get.
- As we mentioned yesterday, SUVs and CUVs are getting smaller. Might there be one based on the next Honda Fit?
- How about a Nissan Leaf limousine? Perfect for an eco-friendly prom.
- The new Hyundai Elantra Coupe is a stylish and sporty addition to the Elantra lineup. It also protects you from zombies.
