Folks, welcome to autumn. It’s finally cooling down outside, the leaves are changing, it’s just absolutely gorgeous outside. It’s time to go sightseeing, to make that pilgrimage to the Northeast that clogs up our roads every year, but that means it’s also time to answer an important question: What are you making that trip in?
Comfortable roomy SUVs, smooth electric cars, open-topped convertibles — the choices are endless. But with the leaves already falling, you’re going to have to come up with an answer fast. What’s the best car for fall foliage sightseeing?
My pick is a real left-field option for me: A Chevrolet Chevelle convertible. I know I’m normally the EV or Japanese compact girl on the site, but fall foliage is an occasion that calls for trundling — a task at which classic American muscle excels.
The Chevelle specifically has fantastic style, plenty of room for as many as thirty adults in its massive interior, and is happy to lope along barely above idle while you look at all the pretty leaves. In my experience growing up in New England, this is generally what leaf-peepers do. The leaves are actually secondary to the experience of clogging up all possible traffic, I think.
That’s my pick for the ideal leaf-peeping vehicle, but what’s yours? Leave your answers in the comments, and I’ll look through them later this week and find the best.
