Favorite Auto Mag

[TALONclaw]

What r your guys' favorite car magazines? I like grassroots motorsports, scc, and racer.

Yeah, man. GRM is the only car magazine I ever read. They actually talk about cars I might someday even see, let alone drive or [gasp] own. Plus they - surprise - actually know how to work on their cars.

It's the best car magazine around, hands down. No multi-mega-buck exotics, no showboat trailer queens. Real street cars and real race cars.

Call me crazy, but I don't think I've ever seen an issue of Grassroots Motorsports! I have fixed that now, though - I just signed up for a free issue on their website.

My favorite magazine is Top Gear. Some British members will probably recognize their show on the BBC. I believe I have the majority of their episodes downloaded on my computer (they are great)!

i can't find Grassroots over here...

so i read the next best thing, SCC and Turbo.

plus EVO and CAR, sometimes R&T...

in the "never will touch this one again" category:

Import Tuner
Honda Tuning
Super Street
HCI
Motor Trend
and the French "tuning" mags...

My favorite GRM is the ///M issue

 

[vat_man]

In Australia:
- 'Wheels' for general car news (monthly)
- 'Motorsport News' for racing news (fortnightly)

Foreign mags:
- 'Car and Driver' from the US. Only pick up the 'Ten Best' issue
- 'Car' from the UK. Seem to buy whenever I fly.
- 'Autosport' from the UK. Tend to buy the season review issues.

Auto Express and Autocar. The former got the scoop on the new Renault Megane.

Motor (don't know if it is available in US & UK)

 

[made in holland]

Autoweek, the Dutch version.

 

[Shannon]

i came across a cool mag called speed (got the very first issue becuz it had only just started up that month) and can't find another one

 

[CDailey]

SCC and Automobile

 

[Hooligan]

I read every word of:

evo
CAR
Sport Compact Car

Not that I take all of it to heart, but there's something to be gleamed from quality British writing and reasonable stateside shop talk. I read the Brit rags for the amazing photography and articles that at least appear to be balanced; SCC is pored over because they love the WRX so much.

I get The Jaguar magazine , wheels and motor

but have the advantage that I deliver magazines to the shops so get to see them all and read what ever ones I want
