By Greg Mombert Published November 10, 2010

Ducati unveiled the Diavel at this year’s Milan Motorcycle Show (EICMA) in Italy. The bike features stunning looks and plenty of power, all in a package that comes in at a petite 456 pounds. The Diavel Testastretta 11 engine packs 162 horsepower and 94-lb-ft of torque providing authentic Ducati performance. Ducati is releasing two different versions of the Diavel, a base model and the Diavel Carbon, which uses carbon fiber to cut seven pounds off the base model. If you’re interested in a Diavel, start saving up: The base model starts at $16,995 and the Carbon version tacks on another three grand at $19,995.

From Ducati’s press release:

” The innovative new Ducati Diavel combines decades of twin-cylinder heritage and Italian style with a bold, world-beating technical confidence strong enough to extend the boundaries of motorcycle design.”

Ford Accessories used while camping for holiday gifts

When you're shopping for holiday gifts, auto and Ford accessories probably don't cross your mind, at least not initially.

I know, it's an odd proposal but hear me out. From electronics and exterior accessories to truck bed augments, interior gear, and even outdoor-friendly gear -- like for camping -- Ford has a ton of options. Just to provide some examples, first aid safety kits, truck bed camping tents, portable fridges, pet-friendly seat mats, even dashcams, keyless entry systems, and beyond.

You never know, you could find the perfect gift in Ford's accessories lineup.

Mini’s infotainment system is very charming, but still needs work

Main screen of the Mini infotainment system

When you think Mini, you probably don’t think of infotainment. Personally, I think of the British flag taillights, the distinct exterior, and the surprising room on the inside. But after driving the Mini John Cooper Works Countryman over the past week, infotainment might well be something I think of more often when it comes to Mini. It’s charming.

It also, however, suffers from all the traps that other legacy automakers fall into when it comes to software design. Mini has something on its hands here — but it still needs some work.
Bringing the charm
The first thing that stood out to me about the system when I got in the car was how fun it was. That all starts with the display. It’s round! No, it’s not curved — the screen is a big, round display sits in at 9.4 inches, and I found it plenty large enough for day-to-day use.
