[edit]Hello, I am very new at this (Wikipedia), so please be gentle if I am making mistakes. Anyhow, I noticed in the November issue that Car and Driver will start measuring a vehicle's overall performance by looking at its lap times around Virginia International Raceway (similar to how Top Gear does "Power Laps" or people keep lists of Nurburgring times). Should I create a page with a running list of these times on it for people's reference and so others can add to it as more times become available? In the past, I have found the Wikipedia pages with extensive Nurburgring times and Top Gear Power Lap times very useful and interesting. Thanks, GroupB 14:46, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Contradiction?
[edit]Car and Driver and Road & Track are sister publications at Hachette and have for many years shared the same advertising, sales, marketing, and circulation departments. However, their editorial operations are distinct and they have separate publishers.
If they are "sister" publications, how is it that they have "separate" publishers? That would make as much sense as your sister having totally different parents. 66.234.222.96 (talk) 03:38, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
Biased
[edit]\ Gosh, years ago I quit buying and reading Car & Driver. Over and over and over I read of an apparent "love fest" for Audi and BMW brand automobiles. Then, not long afterward, I noticed a lack of coverage for cars the "typical" American wage-earner could afford to buy and drive. More and MORE attention given to cars the masses would likely to never be able to afford. It seemed to me that the writers and those deciding upon the content to be presented in Car & Driver had their cumulative noses shoved skyward while downwards and askance at the mere commoners who are likely the majority of their readers. For these reasons I ceased buying AND reading Car & Driver and have heard and read this opinion declared by a goodly number of other folks.
Sniff. I miss the C&D of the 1970s and 1980s. Gone, altered, but not forgotten.99.119.138.61 (talk) 22:49, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

T-Roc Cabriolet
[edit]Will this car ever be available in the US? Is it possible to order one and get it up to snuff for passing emissions in the US? I would really like to buy one! Please let me know missyabram@aol. com
