Car and driver has been Camaro bashing lately too. They even said that the FE4 suspension for the 2012 SS is optional.

Motortrend's parent company Source Interlink produces so many specialty magazines:
why bother with Motortrend

Don't Like it? Suggit.

Some serious dope. Motortrend is like the US Weekly of the car world. Based loosely on fact, but most just drama and sensationalism. If it;s hot right now, they're all about it. If it's just exiting the forefront of attention, they piss on it.

Predictable. Motor Trend has been bored with the Camaro for a couple of years now.

A Motortrend review is directly proportional to the amount of advertising dollars that a sponsor spends with them............

In the article comparing the 69 and 11 Camaros they mis-printed the SRT-8 Challengers specs. Even worse they quoted that the new Camaro was almost a foot longer than the 69. The quality of Motortrend has done down greatly in the last couple years. That coupled with the basis they have for cars like the 3 Series I canceled my subscription after 20 years.

went to a new autozone that opened up near me, was shopping around and realized I was the only person in the store. then I heard a couple employees talking about the cool camaro outside and they all were standing at the front of the store staring at my ride. it's times like these that make you smile. Motortrend can say what they want, this car is out of this world. and everyone knows it!!

MotorTrend is one of those publications that loves a car when it first debuts, then slowly becomes bored with it as time goes on.
Case in point, the 2008 Malibu. Couldn't say enough good things about it at launch, by 2011 they were ranking the Camry (the CAMRY!?) above it.

how do you think they keep the rivalry going? Those magazines help the ones that don't drive the car... they lean to whoever they say, then lean back on the next review...
