I read CAR and EVO. They have the best photographers working for them and they are simply beautiful and quite educational to study those. I could care less about what they write.

C&D does really suck.

This comparo just shows you how blatantly biased the rag is favor of BMW.

Next month's comparison: BMW vs. GOD. Winner: BMW.

C/D had you in mind when they wrote that article. They knew you'd be pisssed and start a thread to talk about them and that ultimately results in more sales as more and more people linked on. They've used your negative and turned it into positive cash. Sex sells, and so does flame wars. C/D played everyone.

I concur. I used to like this magazine, but not so much anymore.

Maybe you can help us out here and give us some examples of this article showing "new lows for auto journalism" and show us why you hate C&D so much.
Ditto.. I remember when Car & Driver television was on the Speed Channel some year back.. Damn I miss it.. Those editors are true car enthusiasts.. It was always better to see the cars in action rather than seeing them in still photos in the magazine.

For the most part, I still enjoy reading C&D. It changes over the years as writers and formats come and go - Some better than others. Overall, it's a good read. Their writers and editors are car guys and sometimes humorous too.

I don't take it as gospel, but will use their reviews when new car shopping.

Thanks for the good laugh In that comparo I believe God loses to BMW by an overwhelming margin, according to CD Those idiots.

I can guarantee that C&D will all of a sudden be THE mag to get when the next time it favors the Lexus.
