Yep, I like his stuff better than Ocasek's, plus he had that cool rocker thing going on. I really liked the Cars up until the silly pop fluff like "Magic". But they were a great guitar pop band and a musical bridge of sorts from guitar heavy 70's stadium rock to early 80's new age synth based stuff. They went platinum many times, but I think they get short shrift for some reason, case in point the HoF snub. They are often overlooked, but IMO they were an important band in the history of rock music.
