- Automobile Magazine
"Automobile Magazine" is an
automobile magazine in theUnited States and is owned bySource Interlink . It was founded by a group of defectors from competitor, "Car and Driver ", led by that magazine’s former editor,David E. Davis . The magazine’s slogan is “No Boring Cars.”"Automobile" distinguishes itself as more of a lifestyle magazine than the other automotive publications, an editorial theme that Davis greatly expanded upon from his tenure as the editor of "Car and Driver". One may often find articles in "Automobile" that may seem more suited for "Field & Stream, Outside", or "
Rolling Stone " magazines. Unlike most other automobile magazines, "Automobile" does not often do instrumented tests of cars. It does not provide much technical data either. Instead, the reviews of vehicles are subjective experiential reports with the cars in their naturally intended, real world environment. Additionally, "Automobile" reserves a good portion of each issue covering vehicles no longer in production, but still relevant to collectors or automotive history as a whole."Automobile" magazine is headquartered in
