Automobile Magazine now online only
Just got a letter that it has been discontinued. Maybe changing the size of the magazine was the final nail in the coffin. I do think it ranked 4th out of the 4 car magazine subscriptions I have.

For content, it has been the worst of the big car mags for decades.

Used to read Car and Driver, Road and Track back in the high school days.
Automobile magazine was good back then when David E Davis ran it. |

Exactly. Was good with DED Jr, and still pretty good when Jean (Lindamood) Jennings was there, but the second they pushed her out I stopped getting it and haven't missed it.
Ezra Dyer coming over to C&D was all I really needed from them. |

it seems like most of the car mags who remain successful jumped to youtube to reach their audience. nobody wants to read anymore.

I cancelled Automobile about a year ago. They were getting a little too political for me. It was great back in the day.

I assumed everyone had the same reading room.

It was always my 4th choice, behind R&T, MT & C&D, but I hate to see it go. End of an era for sure.
