AutoWeek - Covers the Industry

It's funny that Epinions has chosen to feature the cover with the truck. That single issue caused a lot of fall-out with readers because it's supposed to be AUTOweek and not TRUCKweek. Well nuts to them... I like trucks and cars and I'm happy that AutoWeek chooses to recognize EVERY aspect of the automotive industry and hobby segments.

The features that you will find in weekly issues of this little magazine are numerous and comprehensive:

Classic Domestic Cars
Classic Foreign Cars
Reviews
Side-by-Side Comparisons of New cars
Industry news
Racing: CART to NASCAR to F1 to Pikes Peak
Humor
Editorials
Prices
Auto show reviews
Concept cars
Aftermarket
Statistics
Reader Feedback
Feature articles
Featured auction results
Classified advertising (more and more every issue)


You can get all of this in one issue! It's great. The cost is reasonable and I got my subscription for about 25 bucks. That's nothing for 52 issues. Cover is $2.50 US.

If you're looking for in-depth reviews, this is the place to come. If your looking for tons of advertising and professional reviewers clamoring over each other to praise BMW on their latest cup-holder innovation check out the other, monthly, magazines.

This and Automobile Magazine are really the only two that an enthusiast needs. Once you've subscribed to all these magazines you soon find out that R&T, C&D, Motor Trend and the others all feature the exact same information month after the month. The same shows, the same cars and even the same PR shots provided by the manufacturers. AutoWeek jumps the bridge and offers a bit of everything. This is where their weak spot is too. They can be rather thin on information, meaning that the tidbits leave you wanting more, then you have to search around for a monthly that has the info you're looking for. Their features are well done and comprehensive, it's the snippets that get you.

AutoWeek's web site is not the greatest but it's OK. They don't really feature any information like the monthly sites but I'm sure that will change as time goes on.
