Yes, it does. I don't buy American car magazines much any more. I mean, I'll get GRM or maybe ocassionally Automobile. But I much prefer Evo or Car.
Maybe it's beause many of the cars reviewed in the magazines aren't sold here, but it seems to me that they're much more willing to say what needs to be said in those rags. They don't just heap praise on whatever they're driving.
When it comes to Top Gear, by the way, I scrounge up every scrap of the show that I find online. But I find the actual magazine to be most like an American publication like Car and Driver or Road and Track.
