Being behind the wheel of a 2017 Audi A4 is like driving an automobile of the future. Once you’re behind the wheel, choose which view you want on your Audi virtual cockpit. Navigating the road has never been easier, considering that all you have to do to see where you’re going is to look directly in front of you instead to your left or to your right. “The navigation is extraordinary and the car is very precise,” said a recent test driver.

It’s never been easier to sync your mobile phone, thanks to the standard Audi smartphone integration, which supports Apple CarPlay™ and Google™ Android Auto. That way, you can listen to your own music on Pandora or Spotify while cruising down the road. The Bang & Olufsen® 3D Advanced Sound System and customizable ambient LED interior lighting enhance your experience even more, turning your car into a roving nightclub.

When you’re parking the 2017 Audi A4 makes sure you’re in line when you back out, thanks to its 3D satellite imagery from Google Earth, which allows you to see just how precise your parking job is from above.

If somebody needs wifi, that’s not a problem, the 2017 Audi A4 is fully connected, so you can view the local traffic, news, and anything you could possibly imagine — except for maybe GrubHub delivered to your door.

Also, you’re always safe in the newest Audi A4. The Audi pre sense city system detects stationary vehicles, and those that are coming around the corner at speeds of up to 52mph and pedestrians also. Once it detects a potential collision, it can start full braking. How’s that for ensuring your safety?

Now add the class-leading standard 252-horsepower2 TFSI® engine, available quattro® all-wheel drive and sleek design, what more could you ask for?

We’ve been searching for the car of the future and the 2017 Audi A4 certainly hits all the sweet spots.

What UFC champions Sean O’Malley and Aljamain Sterling eat while cutting weight in fight week

Spoiler alert: There's a lot of protein

Chicken breast and broccoli

Whether you're a fan of mixed martial arts (MMA) or just curious about the behind-the-scenes routines of professional fighters, you might be wondering how UFC champions "Suga" Sean O'Malley and Aljamain "Funkmaster" Sterling get ready for fight week.

One slightly controversial part of their prep is cutting weight up to the fight. Weight cutting is a common practice in most combat sports and refers to dropping weight before a competition to compete in a specific weight class.

Shohei Ohtani all but gone, MLB franchise LA Angels may also lose Mike Trout: Report

Our GM hopes they both move to Chavez Ravine to play for The Dodgers

Shohei Otani playing baseball

The Los Angeles Angels may be on their way to a major team overhaul. Shohei Ohtani, who is one of the best and most innovative two-way players in the history of baseball, has already made it clear that he wants to leave the team, and now, news has broken suggested that Mike Trout, the team's other major star, could also be on his way out the door. Needless to say, losing both of their major stars could have an enormous impact on what the Angels look like moving forward.
Shohei Ohtani is almost definitely leaving
At the end of this season, during which Ohtani has been riddled with injuries, the phenom will be a free agent, and those closest to the league suggest that he's likely to sign with another team. Everyone from the Los Angeles Dodgers to the New York Mets is expected to pursue him this off-season for understandable reasons, and Ohtani has previously made it clear that he's not necessarily thrilled with the way this season has gone for the Angels, who are set to miss the playoffs completely.

Ohtani has yet to formalize any sort of deal with another team, but the question seems to be more about where he'll end up than whether he'll stay with the Angels. The team did choose to hold onto him past the trade deadline, a move they say they don't regret, so it's still possible that the two sides find some way to come to an agreement. In all likelihood, though, Ohtani's time with the Angels is done, and he'll be in a new uniform when the next season starts.
