I saw an ad on the RX-8 group for this magazine, and I was wondering if anyone here knows anything about it.

Just curious.

 

I met a lady who worked for them the other day. She was at the bookstore here in Austin buying up copies of EVO and Car and remarking at how style-less American car magazines are and how they are too involved with specs and perf. measurements. She said her magazine wanted to be known for layout, quality of photography, and highly subjective, well written impressions on the cars they have driven.

She wasn't really a car person - she asked me if the S2000 had an 8 cylinder. Of course not all people who work at magazines are gearheads(i.e. accounts, admin, sales, etc.)

It is a free downloadable magazine and issue 4 has the 11-20 grouping of the cars they deemed best for sale in the U.S. at this moment. S2000 was at #13 and the RX-8 was at #11.

 

thanks for the link. looks cool

I suspect the 911 will be #1

 

In their review of the SRT8, they imply that it has a supercharged engine, but it doesn't. Great reporting: "All this is normal for big supercharged engines".

 

i would never ever go with any other manufacturers, only and always will be Japanese.

 

Uh.....what?

 

I'm saving all the issues. Pretty good photography and writing, but they need to proof-read their stuff better (as do most magazines).

They had a nice capsule review of the S2000 but listed its 0-60 time as 5.0 seconds -- nuh uh.

 

as long as japanese, well, except mitsubishi and mazda, we all knew about their engine's stories.
