Decides to do something, the girl really knows how to overdo it. So on her fifth album, when she indulges her crush on Eighties synthpop, she goes full blast, spending most of the album trying to turn herself into the Pet Shop Boys. 1989 is a drastic departure – only a couple of tracks feature her trademark tearstained guitar. But she’s still Taylor Swift, which means she’s dreaming bigger and oversharing louder than anyone else in the game. And she still has way too many feelings for the kind of dudes who probably can’t even spell feelings. Max Martin produced seven of these 13 songs, and his beats provide the Saturdaynightwhatever soundtrack as Swift sings about the single

While most of the vehicles we brought along this year are the types of #noboringcars you’d expect to see, we also invited a few wild cards to keep things interesting. Most years, we’ll pick 1oose as many as we want depending on the year and the number of eligible cars on the market. After the dust settles, we’ll take our allstars on new adventures, drive them harder, and keep them even longer in order to determine if they’re really what we thought they were during the week in south haven.

Enjoy this year’s presentation, both here and in our january 2015 print magazine, where we have a bootload of great photos and behind-the-scenes all-stars action. Here’s hoping you’ll dig the cars we’ve selected, though i imagine feelings won’t be universal. That’s just fine. Declaring winners always ignites passion, flame wars, and second-, third-, and fourth-guessing. We wouldn’t expect anything less from you. There was plenty of the same fervor and clashing of opinions among the staff during the week. Choosing our all-stars ain’t easy. It shouldn’t be.

We return once again to south haven, michigan, just as the fall chill descends on the shores of mighty lake michigan. All-stars hq is the nearby gingerman raceway, a tidy 2.14-mile circuit boxed in by rolling meadows and farmland that serves as a perfect setting for intense driving—and intense debate.

The 25 vehicles invited to this year’s event were hustled along miles of ragged and winding backcountry roads and pushed like rented mules around gingerman’s 11 turns. We wrangled over the nuances of steering feel, acceleration, braking, handling, interior ergonomics, and exterior design in the garage where we gathered to compare notes. On the last night, we assembled around a long table at a local cafe and argued, ate, drank, and argued some more before finally choosing the all-stars. What i love about all-stars—in keeping with the spirit of automobile’s founders—is that there are no exhaustive criteria to adhere to, no numbers to crunch. Just 19 auto.

To salute and honor the cars that did not bore us. What david e. Davis jr. Wrote in his intro to the 1991 all-stars still holds true today. “what we really seek is a category-crossing ‘best,’ a unique automotive experience that will appeal to enthusiasts like ourselves.”

DE COLLECTION IMPRESTION TITLE here LAGUNA REDO If there’s nothing as grandiose as All Too Well or Dear John or Enchanted, that’s because there wasn’t meant to be. 1989 sets the record for fewest adjectives (and lowest romantic body count) on a Swift album. Most of the songs hover above the threeminute mark, which is a challenge for Tay – she’s always been a songwriter who can spend five minutes singing about a freaking scarf and still make every line hit like a haymaker. But if you’re into math, note that the three best songs here The Queen of Contemporary Piano for me. I see myself in her. She is a spontaneous pianist. She proves that you don’t have to be an accomplished sightreader (ie. playing music by reading from a score or sheet music eventhough you don’t know how the song or piece sounds yet)
