Mercedes G500

This is no ordinary SUV. Over the past 25 years, Mercedes' renowned G-Wagon has protected foreign dignitaries and coddled off-road explorers. And now, a modified version, the Mercedes-Benz G500, is coming to a Mercedes dealer near you. The four-wheel-drive G500 is built  correction, hand-built  for the rough stuff.
On the highway, the G500 is luxurious, though the steering feels a bit heavy and reluctant to self-center. The five-speed electronically adaptive automatic transmission is world-class. Not surprisingly, the 5.0-liter V8 accelerates the G500 somewhat leisurely. The vehicle does, after all, weigh in at 5,400 pounds, thanks to a beefy suspension, thicker-than-usual outside sheetmetal, and a massive hand-welded frame.

Using phones as a credit card

 

The cellphone has been more than a cellphone for years, but soon it could take on an entirely new role, standing in for all of the credit and debit cards crammed into wallets. Instead of swiping a plastic card at the checkout counter, consumers can now just wave their phones. The technology is already being installed in millions of phones, and is used overseas, wide adoption of the so-called mobile wallets is being slowed by a major behind-the-scenes battle among corporate giants. Mobile phone carriers, banks, credit card issuers, payment networks and technology companies are all vying to control these wallets. But first, they need to sort out what role each will play and how each will get paid.
