Kirk Bell

Kirk grew up in the car culture, going to the drag strip to watch his dad race Pontiacs rather unsuccessfully. He edited Scale Auto Enthusiast magazine before moving to full-size cars as Managing Editor, then Associate Publisher at Consumer Guide. Most recently, he was Senior Editor at Motor Authority, focusing on luxury and performance cars and also contributing to TheCarConnection.com and GreenCarReports.com. A member of the North American Car and Truck of the Year jury, Kirk now freelances for Edmunds.com, Cars.com, Autoblog.com, and The DuPont Registry.
