January's issue of Car and Driver magazine sees what many would term a "major" redesign. We've asked Eddie Alterman, the new C/D editor-in-chief, to walk us through some of the layout changes of the newly-redesigned buff book. — Ed.

Cover: This is where we used to put all the new BMW 3-series and Chevrolet Corvette variants. Now, you'll notice a bunch of new and unexpected cars, like the Miata.

Noted Notables:

* Notice how the cover image itself no longer sucks.

* OCDers such as myself find that the red and blue bars around the "and" now extend that last pica down to the baseline. You'll sleep better tonight knowing that, trust me.
