Autoweek is terrible. Pay attention to all the errors they end up having to correct in the back pages every week. Also, WAY too much racing coverage. I've never understood why just because you like cars means you like racing (ie. Nascar, F1). About the only racing worth watching is SuperTouring.



Aren't all the errors almost always addressed in the first few pages?

Too much racing coverage? They wrap up all forms of motorsport in like 6 pages! And that usually includes a NASCAR feature and a feature on something else. Its only like 15% of the total issue. Plus, being a weekly AW is the only magazine positioned to cover motorsports in a timely manner.

I'm with James though, their assessments have lost some bite in recent years. IMO its due to losing Leon Mandel. And I can't help but think Rich Ceppos is a suited-up, corporate douche who was a journalist first and car guy second and never forgot it.
