Welcome to the Cars In America Site!

Introduction

Thank you for visiting us today. This website is an information resource for every car, truck, van, and SUV sold in the United States since the 1960s. Both imports and domestics are included; the only requirement is that the vehicle was made US-legal by the manufacturer, and sold in the USA for private use. Each page combines detailed technical specifications, reliability reviews, performance data, historical information, pricing, and photographs. Links at the foot of the page will help you find vehicles built on a similar chassis (for example, the Toyota Camry and the Lexus ES 300 were two variants on the same body shell), competitors, and other models of the same name, if applicable. Photographs will detail all distinct body styles and trim variants.
Please note that this site does not provide current market values; if you need such services, visit Edmunds or Kelley Blue Book. The prices herein are the manufacturers' retail prices, and are not adjusted for inflation.
To find a particular vehicle, you may select by manufacturer or model year below, or use our search utility.
For general information, including a glossary, primer on automotive history, list of references, and acknowledgements, please click here. Also, check out the latest column!
Finally, please note: this site is a non-commercial site for the motoring enthusiast. All use of images, specifications, and test results are assumed to be consistent with public domain usage, and no copyright infringement is intended or condoned.
