You are among the first to travel cars.com’s new blog. Our driving ambition: Give consumers the latest, most useful news about the world of cars. We won’t be a gearhead blog, but we will tackle the topics that matter most to you — safety, innovation, gas mileage, recalls, new models, getting the best deal. Many of the cars.com staffers you’ve come to know will be contributing, but our primary writer will be longtime car blogger Dave Thomas. Thanks for checking us out, and come join in the conversation.
