The Ridgeline made its way as the original unibody truck while the rest all had bed behind cab setups that nearly appeared to be completely separate and only attached by the frame underneath.

What Makes a Car Sexy?

The old saying “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” may be true in human relationships, and many of us have our opinions about what is an attractive quality in a car, but overall, most cars offer a distinct appeal. Trucks and large SUV are brash, bold and rugged for the most part, some may find that sexy, but not obviously so.

The Future of the Automotive Industry is Data

Most major retail segments in the United States have gone to using big data as a driving force for their marketing. The car business was one of the first to adopt it decades ago, but this was mostly done at the manufacturer level. Big ad agencies with big budgets used big data to determine how to post which message at what time on which venue. Today, there's a shift that puts the automotive industry back in the forefront of the business intelligence revolution. It isn't just the automakers using big data anymore. It's the dealers as well. This shift has been made possible by the increased availability of localized data about consumers - what they're buying, how they're buying, and why they're buying it.
