Best car mag?

Car and driver? Motor Trend? Road and Track? Another one?

Road & Track is like Playboy.
Car & Driver is like Penthouse.

Both are great for car porn.

gotta clarify IMO. Some are better for reviews ....specifically for performance; some are better for pics and everyday use; some are great for just builds and parts while others cover audio and cosmetics and basically everything. Some mags are biased and some are more subjective. Some go way overboard with advertisements and get off topic of the magazine too much and others need to branch out more. Some are well written, organized and edited and others are just slapped together.
All are good in their own ways but depending on what you want out of a magazine will determine each persons "best magazine" IMO

I'll probably get both C&D and R&T. Nephew is selling magazine subscriptions. Can get both for really really cheap.

I usually buy them all Motortrend R&T car and driver Automobile they all offer different opinions and writing styles, But i believe two of the mags are actually owned by the same publisher.
