Although not a new feature, electronic stability control has been around since the nineties, it has been credited by the NHTSA for saving many, many lives. Several automakers have already made stability control standard on all their cars or are moving up their plans to do so.
Home prices keep dropping in previously "hot markets" such as California and Florida. Will lower sales prices mean slower luxury auto sales? On the sidelines of the L.A. Auto Show, Tom Purves, the chief executive of BMW USA, commented to Reuters that, "historically, the luxury car market has tracked house prices more than it has the stock market".
