The Porsche 928: Why Better Isn’t Always Best

Longtime Car and Driver editor Eddie Alterman thinks all cars are great, even the awful ones. But some cars, he says, transcend their "car-ness&rdquo; and have a story to tell. On Car Show!, Alterman tells those stories. Stories of the vital cars &mdash; the ones that have changed how we drive and live, whose significance lies outside the scope of horsepower or miles per gallon. Because some cars are more than just a pile of metal, glass, and rubber. Some cars are rolling anthropology. Launches May 18, with new episodes on Wednesdays.
