I agree with the R & T assessment. I have subscribed to Autoweek since 1981, and now weekly there is some crap about how 'green' cars will be all the rage.

If I was not given a gift subscription, I would drop it as I always thought of reading about cars as an escape from liberal do-gooders. If Obama had his way, there would be no purpose for Autoweek.

Almost all the car mags have become sickeningly PC, though their environmentalism seems to be just insincere obedience to the bosses’ orders. Interesting thing though: Auto mags still have some of the most witty and literate writing (and editing) around.

Add to the list of decay in motoring magazines: "Motorcyclist" magazine. They used to have funny, non-PC editors and writers, but have gone totally left wing in the last few years. I dropped them after decades when they had not one, but two "green" issues in one year, along with writers making snide comments about "Palinesque statements", and the "questionable war in Iraq".

It was obvious their current crop running things was leftist. Cycle World has been a joke forever. Luckily I have lost interest in these things compared to my younger years, so no great loss.
