At this point in the game, satellite navigation is old hat. To really get attention, automakers have to up their game -- and that's exactly what BMW has done with its new microNavigation system prototype. The microNavigation unit works a lot like other satnavs, offering traffic data, suggesting routes, and so on. But it does so at a far more granular level. As you'll see in the video below, it's capable of doing many useful things that other systems haven't mastered.

The headline feature of the truly nutty Nissan Juke-R Concept is obviously the twin-turbo V-6 powertrain lifted straight out of the Nissan GT-R. But that's not the only tech the Juke-R gets from Godzilla. It also gets the GT-R's advanced traction control and dynamics logic, to help control all of that GT-R flavored power in the small Juke package. That includes the 4WD controller, the touchscreen interface with all of the PS3-like goodies, and the engine control system. This is the second video in the series--you can catch the first here, and look forward to another video next week, which...

We’re still trying to fathom why somebody would take to the interior of a fairly new car with a high-pressure washer, let alone a 2012 Mercedes-Benz CLS, but here’s video proof that there's at least one person out that considers this normal. Forgetting about the untold damage that would almost certainly be afflicting the car’s electronic systems, the sheer fact that the owner of this car, a CLS350 CDI, is happy to drive around with soggy carpets and seats is beyond bizarre. In fact, we would say it even approaches on the insane. We just hope that this is some kind of joke...
