From the December 2023 issue of Car and Driver.Normal people will never understand Lotus. I do, which is why I’ve had three, if you count the Caterham (you should). On the spectrum from Big Wheel to Toyota Camry, a Lotus is closer to a child’s toy. Every Lotus has been woefully imperfect and never quite fully realized. But it speaks to us in vibrations, sounds, and sensations—you just have to understand the language. The seduction is a lustful one, but lust doesn’t have the same legs as love. I’…

From the January 2024 issue of Car and Driver.In a world where consensus is as rare as a late-model Dodge Challenger without its yellow splitter guards, I’m delighted to inform you that the editorial brains at Car and Driver can agree on nine, okay, maybe eight of the vehicles on each 10Best list. It’s those last couple of spots where the differences begin, and the arguments start.Strong and unusual flavors might not win over all of us, but they will always speak to a few. Sometimes you catch ju…

From the November 2023 issue of Car and Driver.Grabbing hold of a thin-rimmed, leather-wrapped steering wheel reads luxury in much the same way thick-rimmed wheels connote sportiness.

But you wouldn’t know it’s the least expensive Buick by lo…

From the November 2023 issue of Car and Driver.Production manager Juli Burke sent me an interesting question. Her in-laws are looking at new SUVs and, unhappy with the hardness of BMW and Mercedes-Benz cushions, wanted to know which vehicle has the most comfortable seats.I get a lot of car-buying questions, and I usually find the answer in a back issue or on our website and send it along, but we haven’t conclusively answered this particular query. Sure, we cover seat comfort in reviews (in parti…

Welcome back, Window Shop viewers. It’s been a while since we gathered the Window Shop crew and we have missed making this ridiculous “show.” But after several months of trying to align the team’s schedule and many cancelations, we all gathered together on Zoom and recorded a new episode.The challenge this week is to find the best car of the ’80s. Since “best” is open to interpretation, the panel was instructed to define best as, “significant and awesome.” That direction didn’t really clear much…

Don’t drive the Porsche 911 S/T. That public-service announcement is for the owners of the 911 GT3 and GT3 Touring, two sports cars closely related to the new S/T. Owners of those cars should be delighted with the steering, brakes, handling, and performance of their cars and will remain so provided they don’t get a chance in one of the 1963 examples of the 911 S/T that Porsche will produce.The 911 S/T is the latest creation from the Porsche GT department (the engineering team whose resume includ…

From the October 2023 issue of Car and Driver.A confession: I’m bad at driving on the wrong side of the road. It’s my kryptonite. There, I said it. It’s out there now. I feel a little better.As the head of a group of automotive experts who have impeccable driving skills, I don’t find it easy to make this admission. Like you, I take pride in my driving abilities and regularly tune them up at racetracks, on freeway on-ramps and canyon roads, and during my 50-mile commute. I’ve raced against the cl…
