Official: Surprise! J.D. Power reports consumers frustrated with navigation systems
Filed under: Technology , Infotainment For those of us testing dozens of in-car navigation and infotainment systems each year, J.D. Power’s 2011 U.S. Navigation Usage and Satisfaction Study comes as no surprise. According to owners surveyed in the study, simplicity and ease-of-use are lacking in the majority of systems on the market, with “Address/street/city not found” topping the list, followed by difficulty inputting a destination, poor routing, ineffectual voice controls, a lack of street names and missing points of interest.

Los Angeles: We obsessively covered the 2011 LA Auto Show
Filed under: LA Auto Show , Crossover , Ford , Design/Style We at Autoblog like the Ford Flex , lackluster sales numbers aside. Ever since its launch in 2008, we’ve grown quite fond of not only its boxy styling, but its high levels of overall comfort, refinement and usability. Adding the EcoBoost engine in 2009 only sweetened the deal, and now, there’s a lot more to like about the Flex for 2013… if you can get past the styling.

First Look: 2013 Ford Flex More Power, New Face, New Features It makes sense for Ford to show off a refresh for the 2013 Flex at the Los Angeles auto show, as almost one-fifth of all Flex models are sold in California. The refreshed Flex, which bows in L.A. before going on sale in spring 2012, benefits from a more powerful base engine, several new safety technologies, and a mild visual update.
