It’s a fact, we all love/need our smartphones. No longer just for phone calls, they’re an integral part of a connected lifestyle. And while most new cars have either iPhone or Bluetooth connectivity, what we really want is a 500 horsepower docking station on wheels. Making its debut at the Shanghai Auto Show is the 2014 VW iBeetle, the first of its kind to be outfitted with an iPhone docking station. In addition to standard features such as hands-free communication and navigation, the iBeetle comes with a Beetle app to monitor engine function, G-forces, and even Spotify streaming music. And seeing as the iPhone is damn sexy, the iBeetle has been styled to complement its good looks. It may not have 500 horsepower, but until the iPorsche comes out, the iBeetle will do nicely.

Vaer’s G5 Meridian Watch Looks and Feels Better Than the Five-Times More Expensive Option It Reminds You Of
Vaer has been one of our favorite watchmakers for as long as we can remember because they produce new, classic watches based on iconic designs. Case in point, the Vaer G5 Meridian watch you see here. This timepiece is a 1950s-inspired 20ATM automatic watch that’s USA-assembled, dual timezone, built with ocean-ready functionality, self-winding and the brand’s first true GMT (the latest version of their core dive watch design). What’s more, it pays homage to other watches that are incredibly more expensive or hard to come by whilst also adding new aspects that makes this Vaer G5 Meridian watch more desirable than the other options in our opinion.
