Are you thinking what I'm thinking when you read NY Times car guy Lawrence Ulrich's intro to his year-end top ten list?
My year in cars was colored — or juice-splattered, more accurately — by my becoming a father. While I’ve tested every species of car and truck for many years, I sometimes felt I had a blind spot when it came to family rides...Those days are over.Well that explains why he thought the Volvo XC70's integrated booster seats were a new invention.
But what's his top pick, then? Because the backseat is easily big enough to fit a case of Costco wipes, if not diapers. And because turbochargers and AWD are for divorced dads estranged from their teenage kids: the Porsche Carrera GT3.
Also, wait, his new kid drinks juice?
