You really owe it to yourself to buy the first two albums by The Cars, if you don't have them, The Cars and Candy-O. They are absolutely fantastic, from start to finish.

This song specifically or music made by The Cars generally? "Drive" is pretty much a mid-80s adult contemporary piece with some New Wave influence. That's probably where you should be looking if that's the specific sound you're looking for, but probably try to stick with bands that were into mixed productions (like The Cars were) rather than dedicated AC acts as it may get too 'soft' for you if 'Drive' is your benchmark.

Not to forget classics like these:

Foreigner - I Want To Know What Love Is

Funny thing is, while I've known the Cars track from the radio for a very long time, only listening to it out of context here made me realize how good it actually is. The video is spot on, too (no more and no less).
And that was top 10 material at the time. Better days for the charts for sure... (I mean, is there anything in last year's top 25 tracks in the US that you'd still want to listen to in 25 years from now? I think that mashup would do just fine...)

Ironically, "Drive" wasn't sung by the Cars' lead singer, Ric Ocasek. Instead, the song was sung by the band's bassist, the late Benjamin Orr. After the success of "Drive", Orr released an album called "The Lace", and scored a Top 10 single titled "Stay The Night"....

I don't know whether "The Lace" is out-of-print or not, but you can look for the CD....
