Motor Trend Article

[BeeBee]

Model Y made the front cover of the August edition. Inside was a 10 page fluff article about the LR AWD and the Performance PUP. It was very positive but repetitive and missing much of the technical info I enjoy reading (they haven’t track tested it yet).
It’s clear to me the entire editorial staff is still working from home. It had to be the thinnest Motor Trend mag I’ve every received.

Thin means too few ads. Automobile and Autoweek ceased publication in the last 12 months.

While I still subscribe to MT and C&D, it's been apparent over the years that mags seem more like extended advertising than true editorial work. Maybe I'm being too critical, but I've been a subscriber for 35 years.
