The most famous European factory delivery program should arguably be the BMW European Delivery Program.

Actually many other European brands offer similar programs, which you can have your car delivered to Europe and drive your own car on your next European vacation if you wanted to. For Volvo, this is called “Overseas Delivery.”

If you opted for the program to buy a Volvo, the price you paid for the car also includes:

1. Two round-trip air tickets to Sweden;
2. One night of first-class hotel in Gothenburg;
3. Shipping of your Volvo back to your US local Volvo dealership

The Overseas Delivery pricing are also lower than the US MSRP, so taking the free air tickets, hotel s...

I am sure all consumers in the US know that, for the 35i trim of the 2015 BMW X5, they are still coming with the company’s famous N55 6-cylinder 3.0L turbo engine.

But perhaps unknown to most people, the N55 engine on the 2015 X5 sDrive35i and xDrive35i, is a different version that only exists in US-spec X5. In fact, even though they are named “3.0L” in all documents and advertisements, it does not mean an exact number of 3,000 cc. Specifically speaking, the N55 engines installed in all other BMW vehicles (except the 2015 X5 35i) have a displacement of 2,979 cc.

Starting from the 2015 model year, BMW is providing a special version of the N55 engine on 2015 X5 35i models,...

One of our readers send us this photo he took in a late model Ford vehicle.

At a glance you may think this is a typical display of the instrument cluster. However there is something wrong with it.

You can see, the cars mileage is at 9,897.2 miles (which adds up from 0 mile and you cannot reset or change it); but the trip meter (which you can reset it to zero when you are starting a new trip) shows 9,897.4 miles, which is greater than the mileage value.

Obviously, the “Trip 1” meter has not been reset since the car rolls off the assembling line, so the “Trip 1” calculation should increase in sync with the mileage value accumulation...

Yesterday night I attended Cadillac’s “Road to Table” event in Laguna Beach, CA.

The idea of this program is connecting the car driving experience with fine dining pleasures, which similar to Lincoln’s “Day Night” program.

The difference between the two is: for Cadillac they just let you drive the CTS for a couple miles to the restaurant, then treat you with a dinner; for Lincoln, they lend you a MKC or MKZ for 2 days, and give you a $100 debit card; you can go to anywhere within the 48-hr period, no mileage restriction, and you can use the $100 anywhere, not necessarily in a restaurant, even though Lincoln suggests you to.

Cadillac held the Orange County Road to Table e...
