Today is November 14th, and here's what's making news on Roadshow.
Samsung just spent eight billion dollars purchasing Harmon.
A tier one supplier focused on in-car audio, infotainment, and car connectivity.
Harmon owns several big name car audio systems, including Mark Levinson, Bang & Olufsen, and Revel.
Samsung is hopeful that the acquisition will allow the company to speed up telematics and autonomous car development, as well.
Mercedes has a whale of a convertible coming down the pipeline.
The Mercedes Mayback S650 Cabriolet takes a traditional S-class drop-top and loads it with as many ultra posh appointments as possible.
It's likely to pack a V-12 powertrain and only 300 will be built.
The whole kit and caboodle will be unveiled at the LA Auto show later this week.
