What's wrong with Automobile magazine?

When the subscription comes up, I won't be renewing. It started two issues ago when they confused design with style (and this is from a magazine that has Robert Cumberford on staff?), then last month they did a report on the Miata: except it was a patched up narrative and photos from Mazda - they never drove the car. In the current issue they test 8 luxury cars but never bother to rank them. All you get is short happy copy about each one of the cars. Car and Driver and Road and Track may be scolded for their rankings in multiple car tests, but at least they go out on a limb and rank them worst to best. Automobile magazine won't even do that. The magazine has become an issue best found behind a commercial airplane seat. The magazine is more interested in striking a pose.
