As your grandfather told you, you can’t always judge a book by its cover. Nor, these days, does the title of a magazine always clue you into the content that begins on page three.
Refreshing, then, to page through an issue of Car and Driver and find that—still crazy after all these years—it’s still about cars and drivers.
Don’t get me wrong; the usual suspects do appear month after month in columns that dig into one aspect or another of the auto industry. And there are those ubiquitous pages of ads from the major auto producers and the after-market confectioners of shiny things to bolt onto them.
But everything else is about cars and the people who drive them. To be slightly more accurate: about cars, written by and for the people who drive them.
A fair number of pages are given over to the exotic and performo varieties of the four-wheeled and the fast. But Car and Driver displays no embarrassment about majoring on the cars that the rest of us drive. Or might drive or might choose never to drive, given due attention to the reviews put into the hands of drivers like this reviewer by drivers who drive for a living.
‘Wanna’ know what Madonna drives? Buy another magazine.
‘Wanna’ know what’s new in the ’07 Chevies, Fords, and Bimmers? That would be Car and Driver.
