Jun 22nd, 2015 |
|
Everyone knows that certain cars are just better with no options. The first-generation Plymouth Road Runner, like this 1969 model for sale on Hemmings, is one of those cars. Back in the late ’60s, Chrysler designed the Road Runner to be cheap, simple, and most of all fast. The roughly $3000 base model was propelled […]

| Formula C/D: The Car and Driver Covers of the 1990s |
Jun 22nd, 2015 |
|
The official design book for the 1990s calls for splashes of neon pink, the color teal, and weird fonts. Somehow, we managed to (mostly) fend off the urge to succumb to such fads, employing a cover design that didn't change much over the decade. That’s not to say we were boring.

| 2016 Chevy Cruze Will Also Be Available as a Hatchback in U.S. |
Jun 22nd, 2015 |
|
Chevrolet has already told us that the redesigned, 2016 Cruze will be larger and lighter than the outgoing model. And that it—along with lots of other 2016 Chevrolets—will offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. And we’ve published completely undisguised spy pictures of Chevy’s new compact sedan, so we know what it will look like. Now comes […]

Jun 22nd, 2015 |
|
Need to tow a mobile home? Hell, need to tow a home that’s not mobile (yet)? Here’s your rig. For 2016, the Ram 3500 is rated to tow a monstrous 31,210 pounds, 1210 pounds more than the 2015 Ram 3500 and a mere 10 pounds more than Ford’s F-450 pickup, the tow rating of which […]

| The Us Decade: The Car and Driver Covers of the 1970s |
Jun 22nd, 2015 |
|
In the 1970s, driving increasingly meant fuel shortages, rising insurance rates, and output-choking emission systems that conspired to take the enjoyment out of motoring. We charged forward unbowed, digging deep to find exciting cars and new ways to wring performance from dull ones.

| 2016 BMW X3 and X4 Priced from Just Under $40K |
Jun 22nd, 2015 |
|
BMW‘s compact SUVs tread very lightly off pavement, and so did the company tread lightly when it priced the 2016 X3 and X4. The increase over 2015 could buy a bottle of Dom Perignon ’03, the same year the original X3 debuted. Coincidence? We think not. In four-cylinder trim, the 2016 X3 raises its price […]
