I've been fairly happy with Roundel from the BMW CCA. Writing is good most
of the time. Obviously it is BMW Centric and it gets pricy if you are just
in it for the mag.

I agree, Autoweek has been getting more ads and less substance.

I subscribe to AutoWeek, Hot Rod, and Motor Trend.  I think it's time for a 
some changes.

I'll keep Hot Rod.  I'm not really into drag racing or their depth of 
restoration, but it's always interesting and they sure feature some awesome 
cars.  (They did the nicest spread on the Holden Efijy.)  Motor Trend is 
over for me.  Just so far away from my interests.  AutoWeek has been getting

on my nerves.  Yeah, I like the weekly format and I'd miss it, but they seem

to be thinning the content, especially the writing.

So I'm up for something new.  Most of all, I'd like more substance: 
Columnists writing about things that really matter, and writing with some 
style and grace (ala Nigel Roebuck).  I'm tired of reading snobby idiots 
choosing one car over another ignoring price, when neither the writer nor I 
can contemplate that sort of money anyway.  Really, what I'd like in a car 
mag is more of what I've prized about this list:  People with at least some 
maturity talking pragmatically about driving, maintaining, and modifying 
real cars that are within my reach.

Anyone have suggestions for auto mags I might try?  I'm sincere with this 
question and also hoping that this will spark good discussion on the list. 
Thanks.
