«Best in the US»
I've read them all. Automobile is the best US car magazine. If you want even better ones, EVO and CAR are superior, but your going to have to pay to have them imported from the Brits.

«WHERE'S MY PRODUCT?»
I KNOW THIS IS A GREAT MAGAZINE, BUT...I HAVE NOT, AS YET, RECEIVED A SINGLE COPY OF MY SUBSCRIPTION!

«A bit cerebral and pretentious»
I'm afraid I can't say much to recommend Automobile unless, like me, you're hopelessly addicted to cars and will read almost anything about them.
Since it's inception, Automobile has always struck me as a bit snobbish and self-satisfied. This, despite not being very interesting. Their mantra has been "No boring cars!," yet it's usually a somewhat boring magazine.
They have some really great (and funny) editorials, and tend to be more honestly critical of cars than other mags, so for that they get 2 stars. But if you want to read great car reviews, this isn't for you. They're always very short, and comparison tests are given woefully inadequate space.
In many ways that's another of Automobile's problems - it's too small.
My overall impression over the years is that they'd really like to be England's CAR magazine, and even share writers (mainly George Kacher), but just aren't that good.
