When you really think about the iPhone commercials, did you ever notice that they truly do have an app for everything? Well, MINI has taken that to the next level and they have actually created a roadside assistance app for the iPhone. While OnStar was the best of its class three years ago, now, cell phones are something that are so evolved and so advanced that they truly – truly are incredible pieces of technology.
The great thing about the Apple iPhone is the fact that you can actually install this particular app with your VIN number and actually pick a photo of your car! MINI USA worked with Allstate to come up with this incredible app and I think that it is pretty cool actually.
How it works is you can use the app to call for road service which will actually send that to Allstate who will ensure that you get a tow truck there as soon as possible!
One thing that I have noticed about 2010 is that there is a new Land Rover that is in play and it is the Land Rover LR4. This car is absolutely incredible and it is the fourth generation of the Discovery. The Land Rover LR4, is all new and while there might just seem like some minor tweaks, there are some large tweaks that have been made as well. For example, the outside is still a little bulky but it has been trimmed down a little bit and the brand new interior is very soft to the touch. There is also a group of more functions that are all in the central touch screen.
Under the hood, this car features the old 4.4 liter V-8 engine, but it also features a new and direct-injected 5.0 liter unit that jumps this car to 375 HP and 375 lb-ft of torque. That is incredible for a car like this huh?
Personally, I have never driven a Range Rover, but I have heard that they look absolutely incredible and to be honest, they are the height of luxury – so really, check them out and see what you think, after all, it’s brand new!
