What makes a great driver’s car? To paraphrase a well-known Supreme Court ruling, you know it when you feel it.
While not a justice, esteemed editor-in-chief Angus MacKenzie sees it this way: “a great driver’s car has the chassis and powertain and brakes and steering that enable the enthusiast driver to confidently explore the limits of its performance envelope, as well as his own. “

A new ad campaign, featuring Nascar driver Kyle Busch, has hit the internet with a creative contrast of the new 2012 Camry against the 800-horsepower Nascar Camry. Toyota cleverly rolls out the new 2012 Camry Hybrid in one of the ads in an “Electrifying” disp…
