When you’re arriving in a twin-turbocharged, twelve-cylinder Maybach limo, there’s no reason you should ever have to be late. Except, maybe, to make a fashionable entrance. But up at the corporate level, the entire Maybach brand is being slowed down as critical decisions about its future are being undertaken. @funkmasterflex

Ford says that it’s in the process of responding to customers who feel that the company’s Sync and MyFord Touch systems are cumbersome or difficult to use. According to the Detroit Free Press, the company’s internal quality evaluations have discovered a few issues. While speaking to reporters, Mark Fields, Ford’s President of the Americas, said that the automaker is committed to improving the connectivity options in its vehicles, adding that by and large, customers enjoy the features. So far, it’s unclear exactly what changes Ford will make to Sync and MyFord Touch/My Lincoln Touch moving forward, but we’d wager that software engineers will focus on further improving the software’s voice-recognition system, though many Autoblog staffers hope they also reevaluate MyFord Touch’s control scheme. @funkmasterflex

You may think that adding an M Sport pack to the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo is the equivalent of putting lipstick on a pig, but let’s be honest: BMW has to do something to broaden the 5GT’s appeal and try to boost sales. BMW had projected that it would sell between 4,000 and 8,000 of its Gran Turismo range annually in the United States. Yet in 2010, the company only managed to move 2,848. Ouch. @funkmasterflex

The big news surrounding the 2012 Buick LaCrosse is the addition of General Motors’ eAssist technology – a new powertrain that will help the big sedan achieve up to 37 miles per gallon on the highway. Buick will offer the eAssist four-cylinder as the standard engine in the 2012 LaCrosse, but The General’s 3.6-liter V6 will be available as a no-cost option, and GM has now confirmed that the six-cylinder powerplant will get a boost in power versus the 2011 LaCrosse. @funkmasterflex

With production of the Veyron winding to a close, Bugatti is preparing to move on to the next big thing. That thing, as has oft been reported, is expected to be a production version of the Galibier concept sedan from last year. The latest reports, however, suggest that it won’t be called the Galibier when it hits exclusive showrooms, but rather revive the classic Royale nameplate. @funkmasterflex
