As cars get ever more connected, sharing your already-strangled data account with the family--or just adding a new drain on it for yourself--can be troublesome.

After seeing the pre-show unveiling of the 2014 Land Rover Range Rover Sport (with a brief appearance by Daniel Craig), and then getting a bit more intimate with it, we're pretty keen on the new Sport.
