I've purchased a new Drive 60LMT and I am looking for new vehicles and voices like I have on my older Nuvis but I have been unable to find them on the Garmin site. In the past I simply went to the Garmin Garage and found what I needed. I can no longer find the garage. Is it gone or has it moved? Will the Drive 60 accept the same options as the Nuvi?
Voices and vehicles
Yes, the Garmin site has pretty much removed these.
You can add all the English language voices. This FAQ tells you what you'll gain, how to get them using Garmin Express*:

If the Drive60 uses TTS3 voices, you'll get these:
Large file size, highest-quality TTS3 voices offering Real Directions
Serena, 2.10, 9/29/14 (also offers Real Voice)
Samantha, 2.50, 12/20/16 (also offers Real Voice)
Daniel, 2.10, 9/29/14
Jack, 2.50, 12/20/16
Lee, 2.10, 9/29/14
Karen, 2.10, 9/29/14
Sangeeta, 2.10, 9/29/14
The devices that use TTS3 voices also receive the non-text-to-speech voices Michelle, Matilda, James and Kate.
I do suggest deleting (after making a full backup) unneeded files before adding extra voices since I'm not sure how much spare room your Drive 60 has right now. Adding the voices above will take some space!
For vehicles, I've added a vehicle from this site and it works well:
