Thumbs down What have they done to CAR magazine?

No news, no GBU, nothing on 2nd hand cars, no snaps from camera phones. Instead articles on bicycles and cocktail parties (which I didn't read)! They say the news and GBU are better suited to the web, perhaps, but not very handy if I want to read them in the garden or on the train.

Time to cancel the subscription and scuttle back to the safety of Evo methinks.

They have become a poor evo wannabee.

The copied is now following the copiers.

More like a Vogue wannabe.

I like the new format, in terms of its design. Content is a personal choice. Seems to me that they are moving more into the 'coffee table' market of upmarket mags.

Mind you, Evo is far from perfect - the quality of the printing and the paper has dropped considerably, as has much of the writing. They need to buck their ideas up too.

I think they have shot themselves in the foot really, trying to be some kind of lifestyle magazine instead.
