I get C&D but it's mostly for toilet reading. Roundel is good to but I'm not sure I'd buy it alone if it didn't come with CCA membership. The best car mag out there is a UK one called simply enough "Car". I had a subscription but it is very expensive so no more.

Car Magazine

My much loved machines...
1990 E32 BMW 735i - Daley Driver
1983 Okuma LB15 Twin Turret NC turning center - Money Maker!
1985 Suzuki Sierra - Off-road thrasher and mobile shooting platform
1981 HMT NH26 20HP 30" Gap Bed Engine Lathe - Money Maker!
1966 Lancia Flavia 1800 Coupe - Weekend toy
1941 South Bend 9" Model C Workshop Lathe - Antique restoration project.

I picked C&D, primarily for the good ed/ops in front and
the decent poke fun writing in the road tests.

Roundel was a close 2nd, as it is packed with interesting
letters to ed., TechTalk,etc.
My 2Cts.

My X Page

Car and Driver is my all-time favorite.

I find Motor Trend to be a good one, too, but for different reasons. They usually do good comparisons before C&D, but ever since C. Van Tune left them, I've found the articles to be written for a different public. Not my cup of tea.

My vote is for Auto Week...hands down.

C&D is without a doubt the best automotive magazine. Been a subscriber for 20 years.

I find Car and Driver entertaining, but it doesn't hold my attention any longer. Not like in the seventies.

Automobile wins the list of those shown here, for me, as it celebrates literacy. It isn't so much a car mag, as an excuse to write, but it is well done.

For escapism, nothing beats reading Classic and Sports Car from the UK, just for the advertisements. Some great hobby cars listed.

CAR I love. I try to grab it whenever I go out of the country.
Automobile rocks and so does SCI (Sportscar International).

Something about American based magazines makes me dislike them compared to others. They seem like they are more universal audience wise while the others focus more on the enthusiast.
