Which Car Brand are You? - Readers’ Choice

Posted by Poquet Auto on Sep 20, 2016 9:15:55 AM

Car lovers know that a car can match one’s personality. Maybe it was the old Buick your grandparents had, back in the day, or the fastback Mustang that you got in high school. No matter the case, some cars can tell a story about who you are.

With that in mind, we asked our fans which car brand best described their personality & why? See what they had to say!

  • JS:I think I would be a Subaru. Manual drive. I love adventure and exploring. I think a Subaru would best fit my personality.

  • LA: A Land Rover. Exploring is my nature. In this vehicle I can experience the lions in Africa or drive the rugged not-quite-roads of Alaska.

Sony is Making Android Auto & Apple CarPlay More Affordable for Your Current Car

Posted by Poquet Auto on Sep 15, 2016 9:30:34 AM

Adding smartphone-based infotainment to your existing car isn’t very easy, especially if you’re looking for Android Auto. Many aftermarket head units only run Apple CarPlay (like Pioneer's AppRadio 4), while those who run Android can be super expensive (such as the $1,400 AVIC-8200NEX).

Well, Sony is looking to change that with the XAV-AX100, a more affordable receiver that offers both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for a reasonable $500, $100 less than the AppRadio 4.

The oil crisis in 1976 was a very unpleasant time in America’s history. However, it proved to be the springboard for the the gas-efficient, Japanese-owned, American-produced Honda Accord.

Since the first Accord rolled off of the assembly line in Marysville, Ohio, more than 12 million Honda Accords have been made in America, some even being exported to Japan. Then, in 1989, the Honda Accord became the best selling passenger car in America!
