I'm sorry to find that this title is out of print. I listened to a copy from my local library and found it useful for reviewing intermediate level German conversation.
This is what I like about it:
1. It has a narrative structure: it follows one particular tourist on a plausible tour of Germany. It's not a collection of unconnected sentences as some basic level tapes are.
2. It presents the German sentence first in context, then immediately gives an English paraphrase.
3. It repeats material, and then quizzes you on it.
4. There's a variety of voices on the tape, so it doesn't get monotonous.
5. As the title suggests, you can listen to it in your car without having to refer to the accompanying phrasebook.
It's too bad there's not a Level 3, too.
