  Inside: This Week in Innovation
This week we focus on a major design hub of the global auto industry, Southern California. Los Angeles is America's largest car market and one of its most diverse, offering everything from West Coast Customs of Pimp My Ride fame to the posh Bentley of Beverly Hills. LA-bred fads have made sales juggernauts of both the fuel miserly Toyota Prius and the profligate Cadillac Escalade. In our Auto Design Special Report, we preview the new designs that companies like Mazda, Audi, and General Motors are banking on to sustain their businesses. And we take a peek at revered Japanese designer Shiro Nakamura's remake of the legendary Nissan GT-R sports car. In a podcast, Ford's design chief, J Mays discusses the future of retro-inspired styling while Innovation & Design writer Matt Vella sends back a video report from the city's recent Auto Show.

Why are so many people leaving Facebook? Perhaps because so many people are asking themselves just how much of a real community it is now that it is being commercialized. In fact, the desire for real community, not just 1,000 "friends" is changing the nature of social media. closequote
