I have to agree. I've been a subscriber to Automobile magazine for over 15 years, and have decided to let my subscription run out.
Modern cars have become so homogenized, a Chevy is a Pontiac is a Opel is a Holden is a Toyota. Quality of cars, even American ones, is at an all time high, but there seems little be excited about lately. I see pics and articles about show cars cool styling and upcoming technologies, but am always disapointed when the new models come out. Everthing is dumbed-down and bland.
I do my research on any particular model I may be interested in actually buying, other than that it's no longer compelling enough to keep up with the others.
I get much more satisfaction from reading Collectible Automobile or Hemmings.
I would hate to see Hot Rod go though. It's always good to see someone do something interesting with cars.(Psst, don't tell anyone I approve of modifying old cars!)
