#' @title Motor Trend car road tests
#'
#' @description
#' The data was extracted from the 1974 Motor Trend US magazine, and
#' comprises fuel consumption and 10 aspects of automobile design and
#' performance for 32 automobiles (1973-74 models).
#'
#' @details
#' This dataset is the \code{\link[datasets]{mtcars}} dataset that comes
#' with base R. However, \code{cyl}, \code{vs}, \code{am}, \code{gear}
#' and \code{carb} have been converted
#' to factors and rownames have been converted to the variable \code{auto}.
