What is the problem with the article? Seems straightforward to me.

He's just realised he should have bought a Sport, instead of the SE, as everyone is saying GET THE M-SPORT. (ie you're G-A-Y if you don't)

No, The point I'm making is not about the website but about the magazine....see todays issue for 4 pages on the M3....all speculation but written as if its a scoop. also is it me or are the adverts taking over the magazine.....back in the days of motor being a separate mag to autocar, there was some competition and the quality was good....less so now (though not as banal and blatently down-market as Autoexpress)

oh, and by the way, implying that se spec cars are only for homosexuals is a rather stupid and insulting statement, I trust you didn't mean it .

I do agree, that there are lots of ads in the magazine.

You mean the recently revamped, larger, more features, more road tests etc Autocrap? It's pants and has been for the last 2 or 3 years. The journo's are a bunch of badly dressed, geeky blokes who you'd steer well clear of in a pub. And as for the art editor.... he should be shot. Seems they don't even bother showing photo's of the interiors of cars being road tested now. Last time I looked that was where you spent your time whilst driving a car so it's nice to see what it looks like!

If this mag has been improved, enlarged and modernised it must have passed me by. Changing the little strip across the top of the front page, putting motorsport at the front instead of the back and altering the layout of the regular features and market trends pages hardly counts as a major revamp in my book. A pathetic effort by a once good car mag.
