for some reason I've subscribed to just about all of them on & off but C&D has been in my mailbox for almost 15 years running.

C&D is aimed at the over 30 college educated male reader.

One thing i notice is when C&D and R&T show up each month they have the same table of contents. R&T i just browse thru and read the Car Tech Q&A. C&D is read cover to cover that day.

C&D since 12/88. Definitely the most "intellectual" of the U.S. car rags.

Evo - The best read and the best pictues of any magazine period.
SCC - Good technical articals, and interesting off-the-wall stuff.
Car - Good connects, well written, interesting stories.

EVO (the greatest)
Top Gear
Sport Compact Car
Car and Driver

I choose SCC over Super Street, just by a small margin, because SS is a bit on the ricey side sometimes, but their JDM articles are AMAZING and their models are !!! SCC is just a better all around Mod Mag

ditto. The prices suck due to the exchange rate, but Car and Evo are the best by a huge margin. I get Car and Driver for free, otherwise I'd never pay for it. The writing and photography is an order of magnitude better in the British magazines.

Car and Driver
Automobile
MotorTrend
Road and Track

I get these, I have trouble setting enough time aside to read them, let alone the four other magazines I get. Plus I get the Sunday post which is like a phonebook.....

SuperStreet, I subscribed to them forever, just lost my interest. They've always focused on imports, and I'm more interested in the whole market. I still have 5+ yrs back issues that I browse through occasionally. Ebay anyone?

The euro mags have always been the leader in auto journalism IMO, and lately it seems the US mags have been leaning that direction in layout, articles, size, etc.
