You are looking at the new flagship Bentley, the Bentley Mulsanne with a price tag near $300,000. Announced at Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance on August 16th, the Mulsanne is scheduled to begin delivery to the chosen few in mid 2010. Purchasers of this vehicle will be able to customize every aspect of their Mulsanne, including well over 100 color choices, numerous interior materials, and nearly 200 man hours of interior finishing. It’s no surprise that the Mulsanne follows in the footsteps of all other Bentleys with massive power. A 6.75 liter twin-turbo V8 sits under the hood, pumping out over 500 horsepower and 750 foot-pounds of torque. A car of this caliber is usually reserved for those with a full time driver, but these specs just might persuade even the most comfortably chauffeured passenger to take the wheel.

2025 Mercedes-Benz EQS sedan gets new face, bigger battery

2025 Mercedes-Benz EQS sedan front-quarter view.

The Mercedes-Benz EQS sedan arrived during the 2022 model year as the flagship of Mercedes' EV fleet. But now that it's been on sale for a few years, it's time for this flagship to get a refit so that it can stay competitive with other six-figure electric sedans like the BMW i7, Lucid Air, and Tesla Model S. The updated EQS sedan is scheduled to reach dealerships later this year as a 2025 model.

One of the most controversial features of the EQS has been its unorthodox streamlined shape, which makes the EQS one of the most aerodynamic sedans around, but also means it doesn't look much like a traditional Mercedes. For 2025, the EQS takes a step closer to that traditional look with a new grille featuring chrome bars like on the Mercedes S-Class. It also sports the brand's trademark hood ornament.

Installing a car phone mount in your vehicle is the best way to make sure that you have easy access to your smartphone when behind the wheel. While you shouldn't be using your phone while driving, having it mounted on your windshield, dashboard, vent, or anywhere else will let you take a quick glance when you're using a navigation app, or to change your playlist when you stop for a traffic light, for example. Instead of having to pick up your device, it will be easier and faster to get these done while it's on a car phone mount for less time of having your eyes off the road.

The 6 best car GPS trackers in 2024

For the ultimate peace of mind, equip your car with a GPS tracker

GPS Tracker for your car

Whether you’re concerned about your vehicle being stolen or just want to keep tabs on a teen driver, you’ve probably considered installing one of the many car GPS trackers. The high price for LoJack or other subscription-based tracker services may have kept you from pulling the trigger, but these days, a highly-rated device is much more affordable. They do come standard in some modern vehicles, but not all, and sometimes cost extra to have installed even by the manufacturer. There's no denying that they are useful. So, if you want to treat yourself to some peace of mind -- whether your vehicle is parked right outside or thousands of miles away -- it might be time to think about installing one of the best GPS trackers for your car.
