Have you ever wondered how editors conduct testing for Car and Driver’s 10Best? This year, for the first time, we are offering the public a chance to get the insider story and experience 10Best testing like an editor. Will you come along for the ride?
Coming on September 8
On Friday, September 8, 2023, we’re heading to North Star Reach camp in Pinckney, Michigan, to test a noteworthy crop of new vehicles, as we’ve done for the past 40 years. For some background, we will be evaluating cars plus trucks and SUVs, with the editors’ scores deciding which will make our 10Best list for 2024. To qualify as a 10Best contender, each vehicle must be on sale by January 31, 2024, have a base price of no more than $110,000, and be either new or significantly updated—with the exception of our inviting back the prior year’s winners to defend their spots on the list. We’re evaluating based on value, mission fulfillment, and how fun each vehicle is to drive.
10Best attendees will get a chance to get an up-close-and-personal look at the contender vehicles, learn about the 10Best evaluation process, and engage in one-on-one conversations with editors. Then, they’ll buckle up for ride-alongs on the test route and experience the cars in action as they zip through the back roads of Pinckney. Afterward, they’ll swap notes with editors and fellow enthusiasts and cast their votes for the Car and Driver 10Best Reader’s Choice Award. We’ll also have fun offerings along the way, including a lunch from local favorite Zingerman’s Delicatessen at the Car and Driver base camp and gift bags filled with Car and Driver gear.
2024 10Best Cars results will be published in the January 2024 issue of Car and Driver and 10Best Trucks results will be published in the February/March 2024 issue, but attendees who join us will get a preview of the vehicle lineup months before the story is live. Spots are limited for this exclusive editorial experience, so don’t wait to register. We hope to see you there in September.
For another chance to experience Car and Driver editorial testing, you can also attend Car and Driver’s Lightning Lap, plus Road & Track’s Performance Car of the Year.
