Audi is one of the first with their 2013 Allroad.
See the SIM card slot? That’s it, tada now you’re connected.
Google Maps looks like this.
Remember my column about War Driving? I wonder how this technology will impact things like that.
PS – love that Audi is bringing back the station wagon.
Curious to see how these car networks will be secured.
If you have a electric or hybrid vehicle, you can get a green licence plate.
HOV – high occupancy lane; must have 2 or more people in the car to drive in it.
Or as I call it, the Jay Z lane.
It’s odd to me, that with arguably one of the most dangerous things we all do, we’re tested once when we’re 16, then not again until we’re 80… that’s a 64-year spread?!
Read it online here.
… because if the airbag deploys mid-turn, Jimmy’s arm will punch Jimmy in the face.

Back to ‘Keri on Driving’ – Index
It was Media Day on Thursday at the Auto Show, and I loved it.
In no particular order, here are some highlights.
The Lexus concept LF-CC.m Sensing a design trend.
And predicting a design trend: this shape will become popular – the shrunken SUV.
See also the all-new Buick Encore. Same shape.
Yup.
Cadillac is cleaning up in awards this year, both here and in the US. Car of the Year Everywhere.
Looks cool, but too high maintenence for me. I wrote about it in this week’s column.
BMW does it best; check out their paint line ‘Frozen‘.
The beauty is not translating to my phone camera.
Toronto’s professional soccer team, the TFC shook hands with Kia.
Disco ball’d or not, still ugh.
When I applied for a media pass 3 years ago, I got denied; last year Ford got me in; and then this year, all by my big girl self.
Go see the newly re-named The Lincoln Motor Company. They reverted to the original name from 1922.
Lincoln is consistently one of the classiest booth at any show.
Doesn’t this photo look like I posed it? It was luck.
Look, I’m on a car HAHA.
In my top 3 favourite cars – the concept Acura NSX.
But how does the driver see?
The fastest Jaguar sedan ever made, the XFR-S – 300 km/h, 550 hp, 502 lb ft of torque, 0-100 km/H in 4.6 seconds.
$100,000-ish, only 100 will be sold in the US.
This is its only Canadian appearance.
Spent much of the show like this, inside my phone.
(thanks for the photo Eric :)
Shortly after it was taken, this happened:
I’m downplaying it. Not mentioned is the semi-ciricle of journalists and their cameras directly opposite me, photoing the presentation. Hi I’m the new kid.
Infiniti and Cirque de Soleil are friends.
Ford’s Fiesta is a great first car.
The cel service in the MTCC is pretty good eh; 95% of my stuff went up first shot.
Peeked into behind-the-scenes.
Then back into shiny lala land, omg it smelled so good, all that new-car scent.
Weirdos drive these.
It takes 10 days to set up the show, and during that time all the carpet is protected like this. 
I love when the cut it open.
This is a Land Rover.
Look for coupons in the Toronto Sun, and save $5 on admission.
And that’s it tada.
Here’s my coverage for Autonet.ca, and if I took our photo, click here to see it.
I had a little side project going on during media day at the show last week.
Welcome to my blog, guys! Great running into you last week, see you online :)
