Who else is fed up with car mag's?

Uh maybe it's b/c I'm missing something, but I've seen many different comparos in the past in Motor Trend (to me, Car & Driver and Road & Track sucks) b/t American muscle cars. I even have a few at home. For example. I've one cover article (Motor Trend) w/ comparo b/t Trans Am, Cobra, and Z28, and one with Saleen 351, Porsche 911, Viper, 3000 GT VR4, etc.
If it's the price range issue than I can kinda understand what you are talking about.

But for me, it's like this. Ford Mustang is my favorite, but I don't want to be informed only about Mustangs. If I want a good magazine to read about Mustangs, it's MM&FF (best mag out there). If I want to read about other cars and the occasional stang, I'll read Motor Trend. MT is just a broader scoped mag. (Now C&D and R&T just plain suck according w/ my interests)

Is there a little bias going on in MT scene? Perhaps. Well what about MM&FF?
