This is terrific news!!! About time Ocasek pulled his head out and got back into the mix.

I thought this news would garner more attention here on NWO.

This is gonna happen!!!

Even if they don't tour it would be great if they made some new music.

Oh please, please, please, please, please, let this happen.

I agree. But, i'd be curious to see what happens. I was just thinking
of Ben this morning - he's been gone for 10 years. Hard to believe.

I found the last interview with The Cars on youtube, it's in 6 parts:

Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8P_rIowJCA
Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWiVmGxWPdQ
Part 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzWJDSmLZ4A
Part 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmR0lGfMGsU

Thanks for posting that interview,fascinating. I remember BCN putting local bands tapes in heavy rotation, and " Just what I Needed" was one of them. It was a hit song in Boston well before the 1rst album came out. Maybe that's why I was so sick of hearing it for awhile.I find it surprising they weren't all that thrilled with the 1rst album cover.

I lived in Boston from Sept 1973 until Feb 1977 and also heard "Just What I Needed" on WBCN. Still their finest moment.
Also heard "Road Runner" (and "More Than A Feeling"[:(!])

I agree with OBS, a Cars dvd video collection is much needed. A tour and a new album would be amazing. Sad without Ben and he wil always be missed but I think Rik can just take the lead throughout. It's just cool to see the band coming back together.
