Road Test Editor Brian Normile joined the automotive industry and Cars.com in 2013, and he became part of the Editorial staff in 2014. Brian spent his childhood devouring every car magazine he got his hands on — not literally, eventually — and eventually reviewed and tested vehicles to help consumers make informed choices. He would daily-drive an Alfa Romeo 4C if he could.
