After a strong year for car and truck sales, automakers have a flood of new models in the works to woo buyers in 2015.

• Cadillac SRX: The SRX crossover was an immediate hit when Cadillac introduced it, but the handsome five-seater has grown old. Cadillac needs a new model with the latest features and improved fuel economy to cash in on the boom in luxury SUVs.

As a society, we now spend almost half of our waking hours looking at screens, according to numerous reports. People have admitted to using their smartphone in meetings, on the toilet and even during sex. And according to a 2013 research report compiled by Liberty Mutual Insurance, 70 percent of people in the United States admit to texting and walking.
