Car and Driver 10Best

Car And Driver 10Best

Car and Driver magazine annually nominates a list of what it considers the Ten Best cars and Five Best trucks.

All production vehicles for sale in that calendar year are considered with these restrictions:

  1. The vehicle must be on sale by January
  2. It must be priced below 2.5 times the average car price for that year
  3. The manufacturer must provide an example for testing
  4. Only substantially changed vehicles and the past year's 10 best winners are nominated

The magazine sometimes selects a specific trim and other times a whole family of vehicles.

Famous quotes containing the words car and/or driver:

    “One way to do it might be by making the scenery penetrate the automobile. A polished black sedan was a good subject, especially if parked at the intersection of a tree-bordered street and one of those heavyish spring skies whose bloated gray clouds and amoeba-shaped blotches of blue seem more physical than the reticent elms and effusive pavement. Now break the body of the car into separate curves and panels; then put it together in terms of reflections.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “God help the horse, and the driver too!
    And the people and beasts who have never a friend!
    For the driver easily might have been you,
    And the horse be me by a different end!
    And nobody knows how their days will cease!
    And the poor, when they’re old, have little of peace!”
    —James Kenneth Stephens (1882–1950)
