One of the perks of reviewing all manner of cars and trucks is that we're exposed to all the different infotainment systems. Whether Cadillac's CUE (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/cadillac+cue/), Chrysler's UConnect (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/chrysler+uconnect/), BMW's iDrive (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/bmw+idrive/) or MyFord Touch (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/myford+touch/), we sample each and every infotainment system on the market.
