Motor Trend is entertaining, just don't take their praise for an automobile with much weight. Years ago I subscribed to Road & Track, Motor Trend, Autoweek, and Car and Driver. Of those magazines only Road and Track and Car and Driver stayed on my subscription list. If you like Classic Era cars you should think about Automotive Quartley and Classic and Sports Car Magazine.
I give Motor Trend this much, they put Vector on the cover in 1972, years ahead of any other magazine.
