I used to follow the car and motorcycle rags with the same religious
fervor I also applied photo rags. Most that I've seen in the past
several years are crap ... full of "shoot outs" and meaningless
comparisons of minutiae that make no difference of any worth.
Like with camera rags, I now only buy an auto or bike magazine once
in a while when I find it has articles of merit that I won't be done
reading in less than 10 minutes. When it's time to buy, I read up on
those things that seem pertinent and then make a round of visits to
dealerships and websites.
When it comes to sports cars, well, I'd still like a Merc CLK because
it's comfortable and I like the notion of a hard top and convertible
in one. Older ones are now getting into a reasonable ball park.
Overall, however, I'm happy to no longer be worried about high
performance: my Land Rover Freelander does me just fine, and carries
all the crap I toss in it very nicely too. It's also not too big to
park in San Francisco.

once again. Every time I get a new car, it starts all over again.
Sighhh.
None too soon to get the process underway!
I haven't read "car magazines" for literally years and years!
Car and Driver and Road & Track used to be my favorite mags.
What is it now?
