I guess I'll be receiving Super Chevy for the next eight years (unless they fold, too!).

As an aside, NEVER pick up those magazines in waiting rooms. They've been looked at by sick people with God-knows what ailment. Take your own book.

It's due to falling demand and rising costs. The printing and publishing industry as we know it is going away. Rolling titles together is simply an act of survival from a shrinking industry.

Why would you bring common sense to this discussion when we are in mourning? I want my Camaro ONLY magazine and we may have to escalate our actions to make it happen.

In all reality we'll be lucky to get anything for those of us with long term subscription deals. It is upsetting and I'd rather get a couple less issues a year and keep the format that they had. Camaro owners in my opinion are somewhat of an exclusive group and folding us in with all the other Chevy products just doesn't work.

I just looked and Camaro Now is also part of the Source Interlink Media so who knows if it'll go away as well.

It's put out by Super Chevy as a twice-yearly (when ever they get a notion to print) edition and is mentioned as killed in the preceding list. I hope they've forgotten about Chevy High Performance. Maybe it will be the crumb that survives.

At least the Gen5 Camaro is alive and well and selling.

I feel sorry for the advertisers who lost their exposure. Kind of like the kick in the nuts the auto shows got when SpeedTV drank the FoxSports1 koolade.

more of a reorg..

Popular Hot Rodding folds into Hot Rod.

Camaro Performers folds into Super Chevy.
Great, just great (heavy on the sarcasm).

I hope they do the right thing for anybody who is currently subscribed to magazines being folded into other titles and the title it's being folded into . . . that being an extended subscription to the title that remains. That would stretch Hot Rod out a little longer for me.

It's a real shame to see Camaro Performers disappear, and I hope that they can bring enough corner-carving interest to Super Chevy to make it worth me opening it up.

I'm going to miss GM High Tech Performance. I've read it since 99 and loved the fact it focused on modern GM EFI vehicles. Super Chevy on the other hand is just another bland, generic publication. I agree with the comment about too many advertisements in all of these magazines, it's ridiculous.
