  Used Cars - Used Cars
It is no wonder that used cars outsell new cars by three to two.
A few years ago car owners were afraid to keep a car after it had 100,000 miles.

  The Cars (band)
The Cars were a staple of AOR radio in the late 1970s, then exploded onto the New Wave scene in the early 1980s with the advent of MTV.
The Cars successfully bridged the gap between the guitar-oriented rock of the 1970s and the synth-oriented pop of the early 1980s.
While The Cars had numerous hits in the late 1970s and early 1980s, their most successful albums were 1978's The Cars, which featured one of the most popular New Wave songs of all time in "Just What I Needed," and 1984's Heartbeat City, which spawned four Top 20 hits.

 The Cars | internet radio on icebergradio.com
Blondie may have had a string of number one hits and Talking Heads may have won the hearts of the critics, but The Cars were the most successful American new wave band to emerge in the late '70s.
While they were more commercially oriented than their New York peers, The Cars were nevertheless inspired by proto-punk, garage rock, and bubblegum pop.
Where their peers were as equally inspired by art as music, The Cars were strictly a rock & roll band, and while their music occasionally sounded clipped and distant, they had enough attitude to cross over to album rock radio, which is where they made their name.

 The Cars: Complete Greatest Hits   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Borrowing liberally from Roxy Music, The Velvet Underground and The Beatles, The Cars were the band to measure up to during the late 70's and early 80's.
Although The Cars were less ambitious and less imaginative than their peers, Ocasek had a way with melody and came up with enough satisfying hooks to make The Cars a radio staple.
It also was one of their least successful and the next three albums returned to the slick production style that had worked so well for The Cars and Candy-O. It's ironic that The Cars were lumped with the other new wave bands; they were really the ELO of their generation.

 The Cars
The Cars were yet another late 70s band that responded to the bloat and pretension of overproduced studio rock with snappy tunes and stripped-down arrangements.
Blondie or the Talking Heads, the Cars had no particular message, and next to no interest in expanding beyond their synth-plus-guitar pop-rock sound; plus, lead singer Rick Ocasek has a thin voice that isn't particularly flexible or gripping.
It's become a cliché to say that the Cars said it all on their first record, but it's not true.

The Cars were one of the premiere New Wave bands of the late 1970s and early 1980s.
However, as I've gotten further into the Cars' catalog, I have to admit that it's not as rich or consistent as some of their other releases, particularly 1978s peerless "The Cars." Overall, I recommend "Heartbeat City" for the extraordinary singles, but if you like this CD, followup with some of their earlier releases as well.
The fifth studio release by the Cars' is Heartbeat City a CD filled with infectious songs and one that elevated the band to a new found glory thanks to some sharp, fun,...

The Cars formed in Boston circa 1976 and debuted in 1978 with this eponymously titled release.
I was a little too young in 1978 to become a Cars fan, although I caught them in their pop heyday, when "Drive" was a major hit.
True originals, The Cars were often aped but never replicated (as opposed to the dozens of Joe Jackson/Elvis Costello copycats) and it makes this debut sound great almost 25 years after it was released.

 The Cars
The first sound you hear on "Just What I Needed," the single from the Cars' debut album, is the repeated thump of bass notes against the short, metallic slash of guitar.
As long as the Cars' avant-garde instincts are servicing their rock & roll impulses, the songs bristle and -- in their harsher, more angular moments ("Bye Bye Love," "Don't Cha Stop") -- bray.
On the heels of the new wave, the Cars' debut album was a mechanized rock delight, its music spare and precise, yet undeniably catchy, with sly references to the Beatles and Tommy James and the Shondells.
