Luxury Cars still on the Technological Edge

It should be to no one’s surprise that the luxury marquees have been rated the top tech cars -- vehicles loaded with the most technology.

According to the annual Technology Index compiled by Telematics Research Group (TRG), leading the way are BMW, Rolls-Royce, and Cadillac. Bimmers have most of the features than any other manufacturer.

General Motors had three brands in the top 10 and five in the top 15. Chrysler was listed at 19 and the top Ford is the Lincoln at 23.

Top 10 brands include:

1.    BMW
2.    Rolls Royce
3.    Cadillac
4.    Infiniti
5.    Hummer
6.    Buick
7.    Mercedes-Benz
8.    Saab
9.    Lexus
10.    Mini


Our take? Makes sense. New technology is always expensive. However, an increasing number non-luxury vehicles are showing up with high tech features like ipod adapters as standard as automakers realize many early adopters are younger buyers.
