hybrid BMW 5 Series at Austrian contract plant
Source: Magna to build new hybrid BMW 5-Series at Austrian contract manufacturing plant - Canadian Manufacturing
SAILAUF, Germany—German luxury carmaker BMW has contracted Canadian auto parts company Magna International Inc. to build its new 5-Series plug-in hybrid.
The Aurora, Ont.-based company will assemble the new BMW 530e at its plant in Graz, Austria—a contract manufacturing facility where it’s previously built a number of vehicles, including the BMW X3 and Mini Paceman.
The 5-Series will become the Graz plant’s second electrified car program after Magna won a contract to produce Jaguar’s new I-Pace at the site last year.
Interesting approach, contracting out the manufacturing. Almost sounds like Apple.

2018 Camry and 2018 Accord coming soon
Source: Toyota Leaves Nothing to Chance with New Camry Launch | TheDetroitBureau.com
“We’re almost doubling the size of the outgoing model’s marketing effort,” said Jack Hollis, who was promoted to group vice president and general manager of the Toyota Division is early March.
His ascension to the top spot came as Toyota was preparing for the launch of the eighth generation Camry, which is played a dominant role in the mid-sized passenger car segment for three decades.
In fact, it’s hard to overestimate the Camry’s importance to Toyota. It’s very much the heart of the Toyota line-up and it has been the best-selling passenger car in the United States for the past 15 years. It also has been the best-selling passenger car for 19 of the past 20 years, losing out barely to the Honda Accord for only one year in the past two decades.

Tesla Model X is the Safest SUV Ever Tested by NHTSA » AutoGuide.com News
"... Model X occupants in a crash have a 93% chance of walking away without a serious injury....."[/QUOTE]
It looks like the days of Ford Explorers rolling over during blow-outs may become a bygone era. GOOD !
NHTSA seemed to take their sweet time in getting these results out - but there you have it. Undoubtedly Consumer Reports will have to find something (bad) to say about this.
Go plugins !!
