An entertaining look at the five best and most influential cars from major car manufacturers from around the world.
Road Masters offers a fun and informative overview of the five most important cars from the major car-makers around the world.
Author Dave Morley applies his industry knowledge, signature story-telling and distinctive humour to weave a memorable tale about the top models from all the major manufacturers that changed the automotive experience, in one way or another. Most top car books have been dry, fact-laden dirges that read like classified ads. This book is about the emotions involved in each car and where the makers got it right. And wrong.
Featuring all the major manufacturers, plus smaller powerhouses, the book includes European prestige manufacturers (Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, Mercedes Benz), British luxury brands (Bentley, Rolls Royce), American classics (Ford, Chrysler, General Motors), Japanese leaders (Toyota, Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Honda) and many more.
Important cars are great. Great cars are important.

Important cars are great. Great cars are important.
The car is a complex machine. The business of making cars is a complex industry. Enter a simple man. Dave Morley has been an automotive journalist for the last three decades and more, and has road tested pretty much anything on the road. Morley's attentions turned to cars and motoring fairly early on in his life. The realisation that the most complex motor vehicle was easier to both understand and control than the simplest human-being, set his career in motion. Growing up in the country gave the young Morley a form of motoring freedom unmatched these days, as well as many trees to dodge. He has previously published Six Decades of Holden Versus Ford and Great Aussie Car Fails.
