2013 Nissan Quest base price stays at $26,815

Nissan is giving the 2013 Quest minivan the same base price as the 2012 model—$26,815 including the $825 shipping charges—and cutting the sticker price on two of the more popular trim levels. The top-trim Quest LE sees its sticker price climb of $290 to $43,465, but gets the around-view monitor added to the list of standard equipment. The sticker price of the 2013 Nissan Quest SV, one step up from the base model, was trimmed $1,310 from the 2012 model price to $30,565.

Want your 2013 Mercedes E63 AMG to look like an E220? Now you can.

Mercedes are to offer a Business Line Pack for the 2013 E63 AMG which tones down its extreme looks and makes it look more prosaic. If you run a successful business, it’s important to look the part. But it’s equally important not to shout about your success (well, it is in Europe) too loudly or your workforce might think you should be paying them more instead of indulging your petrolhead side, and customers might decide you’re overcharging them if you look too flash.

A day in the life of Ken Block: Video

Ken Block is back, not with Gymkhana Five but with a video that follows the rally driver and DC Shoe cofounder through a day in Los Angeles. That day includes some errands, a morning car shoot and some track work for Gymkhana. He does all of this while listening to his own playlist in the Hybrid Function Hoon Vehicle Ford Fiesta.
