Subaru Starlink Infotainment Adds 4G LTE

The new system will be available on certain 2016 Subaru models and will now offer more connected services.

You will be able to get an AT&T 4G LTE wifi hotspot which allows the system to use Sirius XM Connected Vehicle Services, offering stolen vehicle recovery, automatic collision notification, remote vehicle services and monthly diagnostic reports.

Much like GM’s OnStar, Subaru has advisors who can help Starlink users who call for help in an emergency or for roadside assistance. For entertainment, buyers can use Starlink’s wifi connection to use music streaming services like Pandora and Aha. The system will also display and read text messages to the driver, while allowing you to respond using voice recognition technology.

The updated system will become available later this year.

Shelby Baja 700 takes Ford F-150 SVT Raptor to the next level

The Ford F-150 SVT Raptor can be called many things, but "underpowered" is not one of them. Still, that's never going to deter a company like Shelby from taking the off-road monster even further.

Pictured here is the Baja 700, an even more extreme take on the Blue Oval's outgoing performance off-roader. The legendary Ford tuner has fitted it with a new supercharger, throttle body, injectors, heat exchanger and Borla exhaust, boosting output to over 700 horsepower.

Of course Carroll's boys didn't stop there, thoroughly reworking the suspension with 3-inch King coilovers, bypass rear shocks, Rogue Racing upper and lower control arms and more, fitted to 18-inch matte black wheels with BFGoodrich K02 off-road rubber.

Naturally, it's got the requisite graphics and badging to go with it all, along with a skid plate and a reworked interior by Katzkin and a three-gauge dashboard pod.

Only 50 examples will be made, each priced at $45,000 – over and above the price of the base vehicle, which sells for about the same. So you're looking at a good $90k for this monster truck, before auxiliary lighting and other options are taken into account.
