AUTOMOBILE 2006 JAN - BMW 3, SKYLINE GT-R, FORD GTX1
Within this issue you will discover the following topics:
1) AUTOMOBILE OF THE YEAR: The BMW 3-series sedan has been a perennial All-Star; the latest version wins our top award.
2) ALL-STARS: We choose the six best cars on sale and unveil our choices for Man, Technology, and Design of the Year. Plus, picks and pans from the 2005 automotive world.
3) NISSAN SKYLINE GT-R PROTO: The concept unveiled at the Tokyo show is very close to the 2008 production supercar that is coming to America.
4) BRITISH RELIABILITY TOUR: A weekend in Triumph, MG, Austin-Healey, Ford, Lotus, and Morris cars proves that British reliability might not be an oxymoron.
5) FORD GTX1: In case a Ford GT isn't flamboyant enough, you now can get a roadster.
6) CHEVROLET CORVAIR: Forty years later, an encounter with GM's notorious rear-engined compact shows that Ralph Nader picked the wrong target.
7) AUTO ARTWORK: Advertising art from Detroit's golden age of muscle and chrome.
8) TAKING FLIGHT: The Nissan GT-R Proto retains the Skyline's trademark taillamps.
9) VILE GOSSIP: As we enter our twentieth year, we give you the winners, the losers, and a few things in the automotive world that cracked us up in 2005.
10) AUTO NEWS: The scoop from Tokyo, BMW and Jaguar unveil their latest convertibles, Cadillac reveals the new Escalade, a look at the future of the BMW 7-series, and a conversation with VW's Wolfgang Bernhard.
11) CADILLAC STS-V: Armed with a supercharged, 469-hp V-8 and an aggressive, sport-tuned suspension, Cadillac takes aim at Europe's hottest sport sedans.
12) TOYOTA RAV4: The cute-ute is all grown-up. It's bigger, sports available third-row seating, and (at last) gets an optional V-6 powerplant.
13) HYUNDAI AZERA: This large and luxurious Korean sedan is being pitched as a direct rival to the Toyota Avalon.
14) LINCOLN ZEPHYR: Lincoln looks for younger buyers with this restyled version of the Mazda 6based Ford Fusion sedan.
15) SAAB 9-5: The Swedish automaker has refreshed its venerable range topper, added more power, and simplified the lineup.

17) AUCTION NEWS: The Mecum Fall Premier in St. Charles, Illinois, provided more evidence that America's muscle-car mania shows no sign of abating.
18) AMERICAN DRIVER: Observations on concours d'elegance, including advice for the owners of trailer queens and where to see all the unrestored gems.
