Which Car Magazine Do You Think Is Best?

I was wondering what car magazine you guys think is best. Choices are MotorTrend, Road & Track, and Car and Driver.

I'm torn; I thought there were some better 4th. Gen. tests in MT but can't be for certain. I like C&D about as much as MT but don't really care for R&T, personally. All three are rags'; I'll leave my testing up to others

i vote none of the above

motor trend is the most biased car magazine. they like bmw and honda a little too much. especiially funny considering they can drop ratings of cars that recently won thier own car of the year award.

i personally like autoweek the best. its weekly and very unbiased.

MotorTrend, but not by much. Even though they try way to hard to sound smarter than the reader most of the time. I just read them for pictures and specs. Anything dependent on their "expert analysis/opinions/experience" or "driving skill" I promptly ignore.

Motor Trend's latest article had some fairly favorable reviews of the Camaro and other domestic cars. On the other hand, they had some very poor ratings of domestic (particularly GM) cars in their new car guide in the same article. They blamed it on a typo. I'm not sure.

I went with motor trend. They generally seem to have better articles than the others.

hey, what about edmunds . . . oh yeah, never mind.

Road and Track is obviously the best. I love their spec page when they road test cars. They tell you everythinig about the car.
