Yeah, i have like 3 "import" magazines from many years ago, I believe one of the reasons that this magazine is going down it's the poor poor quality of articles, I mean, some awesome cars are featured etc etc ... but, NO 0-60times, NO 1/4 times, NO track attack times etc etc, no skidpad testings etc etc ....maybe I am wrong and things have changed now since i don't ever bother to sneak on them anymore .., but seriously, these "import" magazines are plagued of ads, cheap hondas and no real content ... all SHOW no go, pure bling etc et .... again, maybe I am wrong, but embarrasses me a bit to have a magazine with NO real numbers, just talks about "how fast this car is" ... yet, no real tests ...

Very sad ,,,, but predictable ///

Dude, I read that magazine since my highschool years I think More and more people hit the net for car info now days. Sad to see it go! I actually read Sports compact car more than Road and Track and /or Car and Driver.

Oh man, fist Sports Car International and now this. Why not Super Street??

SCC was by far the least riciest of "import/comapct/whatever" magazines.
