In the news - Nissan pulling Facebook ads over hate speech concerns

The advertising system on Facebook allows companies to target specific demographics with their ads, which follow people based on their personal information. However what these companies have been finding out recently is that this system could lead to their ads showing up on questionable pages. According to Automotive News and The New York Times, Nissan has joined a growing list of companies, which have pulled themselves from advertising on Facebook until the social media site can guarantee that the ads won’t appear on offensive or questionable pages.

This issue came to light as a result of a group calling for Facebook to ban gender-based hate speech that went unchecked on some fan pages. Some of the offensive pages even showed images of abused women apparently.
This issue came about as a result of a group calling for Facebook to ban gender-based hate speech that went unchecked on some fan pages. Apparently, some of these offensive pages even showed images of women being abused. You can find some of these pages listed on the NYT article, though it looks like most of the pages have since been removed. As for Nissan, AN says that the only ads it had at the time were for Nissan UK, and there is no telling how this issue will affect Facebook advertising in the future.

2014 Ford Mustang

The basic make-up of the 5.0 2014 model has stayed the same as the 2013 generation. The 2013 model had seen a number of updates to keep the Mustang fresh until it’s replaced in

2015. So, for its goodby tour, the fith-generation Pony Car which has only seen a few modifications. Modifications such as  a couple of new paint colours (Oxford White and Ruby Red Metallic), trim and wheel revisions and, sadly, the deletion of the Boss 302 from the Ford lineup.

However, while the limited-edition Boss is likely to reappear sometime after the gen-six Mustang makes its debut in 2015, the GT Track Package provide at least a partial solution for those looking for hot laps.

Lamborghini Egoista Concept Unveiled For Selfish Supercar Owners

A supercar may not necessarily make you immediately think that the owner and driver of the car is innately selfish, however when you take into consideration that the new supercar concept unveiled by Lamborghini is in fact only a one-seater, you can definitely say that it is a selfish car for selfish people. The megalomaniacal owner of the car would simply not want to share his experience with his friends...

For a selfish owner, Lamborghini's Egoista Concept was unveiled at a private 50th birthday party that the automaker had thrown for itself. Without an official announcement from Lamborghini to go by, all we can glean is that the Egoista Concept has room for a single occupant, is powered by a 5.2-liter V10 engine and boasts styling said to be inspired by an apache helicopter.

Have a browse of the concept images and say what you think about the supercar:

2015 Mazda3 interior glimpses revealed

In terms of the exterior of the hatchback there is a clear Kodo design influence in terms of the front ends bring to remembrance the new Mazda6. From spy shots of the Mazda3 being tested, a glimpse of the interior has been taken.

Taken from the Autoblog:
“Feast your eyes on the Mazda3's insides, showing a vastly reworked interior that also takes cues from the automaker's most recently refreshed products. We can see that there's a simple, clean center stack with a slim row of heating and cooling functions, and up top there's a large, presumably touchscreen display, with redundant controls found just aft of the shifter.”

The car is expected to debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show this September.
