What's Your Favorite Car Magazine? Online or Print

[ZicZachZo]

Hey Guys and Gals,

I have been in a funk lately with my American car magazines. Anyone else feeling let down by the quality over at Edmunds (btw, wtf happened to Inside Line?) and Autoblog? Like many of you, I spend an inordinate amount of time reading up on the latest cars. I usually go straight to Car and Driver if I want to read quality writing. This is not to say I think their focus is always in the right spot but I enjoy the writing and information. I have to say, I feel the British motoring press does a better job all around. So, what's your favorite car mag? Any that you would recommend?

Cheers,
Zach

Print is either Car and Driver or Automobile. I still get excited after all these years when it is time for them to arrive. Car and Driver for their roadtests and Automobile for the reading. I used to take EVO, but it damn expensive in the U.S.

Online? Pick one lol.

CAR Magazine UK. It's not just car reviews. The main stories, some are the damn best written journalism work.

EVO is the best publication in English for performance oriented motoring journalism in my opinion.

It has dropped a notch or two in my estimation over the last two years. The opinion's gone a bit wishy washy under the editorship of Nick Trott.

 

[klier]

AMS/Auto Zeitung/Autobild/SportAuto and anything Chris Harris does these days...

I'm subscribed to Evo, and I share most of its views.

TG is for laughs but they do give a more mass market view of things which is helpful compared to performance-oriented Evo (for instance, when you need opinion on a diesel hatch).

Autocar
CAR UK
EVO
Octane
Sport Auto (when I do manage to find a copy)

Print: EVO. Great articles and beautiful pictorials.

Online: I used to enjoy Edmund's InsideLine, especially their Suspension Walkarounds. However, in the beginning of this year, they merged their InsideLine website with their Edmunds website...it's nowhere near as entertaining.

Thanks for all of your input guys. I bought a three month subscription to CAR on the iPad. Good stuff!
