Ultimate Playlists Inspired By the Cars We Drive

Car Playlists
Feeling inspired?

Everything sounds better in a brand new car.

Ever wonder what it’s like to drive that dream car? What it would feel like behind the wheel, what music would complement the drive, what people who live that life listen to? Or, do you think about what you’d want to sing along with in that car? What your kids or passengers would have fun listening to? What would turn a long drive into a rocking road trip?

So did we.

Inspired by our favorite cars, we put together playlists of the ideal songs to drive to, sing along to, the soundtrack to the life that each car enables. Leave your comments and playlist suggestions in the comments section!

The Chrysler Pacifica inspires a lot of singing, and a lot of West Coast singers. We rounded up our favorites–Katy Perry to the Beach Boys–and sang ’em all!

The Mini Cooper Clubman inspired us to tune into our favorite British artists, from The English Beat to the Rolling Stones and of course, David Bowie. Somehow, these songs just sound better in the Mini!

A World Car Awards juror and member of the steering committee, Scotty likes to say the automotive business found her, rather than her finding it. But recognizing the opportunity to give voice to powerful female consumers and create a voice to match their spending power, her mission became to empower women as car buyers and owners. A career-long journalist, she has written for the New York Times, Town & Country, Adweek and co-authored the book Stew Leonard, My Story, a biography of the founder of the iconic grocery company Stew Leonard’s. Her love of cars started when her father insisted she learn to change the oil in her MG Midget, but now it mostly plays out in the many road trips taken with her family.
