EVO vs Car vs Top Gear
i've seen these 3 mags in newstands and flipped through them and they all seem good.
but which one would you pick from the newstand every month without flipping through it before purchasing it?
i'm sick of reading local garbage. its always commodore vs falcon. i think i might spend the extra few dollars and get to read up on nicer cars. they always seem to have supercars on the front cover. just that is much better than what i read.

No doubt about that... EVO is absolutely the best one: best pictures, best cars featured (sooner than other most of the time), best journalists, best long term tests... (Let's make it a poll BTW  )

Same here, except I have read Top Gear and it's terrible! Good thing the show isn't!

Oh, I definitely like EVO. I try to get it when I can, even though the prices are a bit farther north than I'd prefer. But the issues scream 'quality', throughout. A whole lot of drool-inducing cars, amidst the more mundane selections and reviews, and the writing is simply descriptive, evocative (or is that EVOcative - har har) and inspiring. Not to mention the binding and the publishing quality is top-notch. My girlfriend even thinks it's pretty enough to leave next to her copies of Cosmo, Vogue, and that like

EVO
Simply because it reviews car I'm interested in buying - Drivers cars  . Top Gear and other mags cover all cars - Estates, family cars etc etc :x

EVO of course...even if I usally don't read Car or Top Gear, I'm sure EVO is the best in the world. No-one magazine can make you feel " The Thrill of Driving" is such a strong way. Journalist are the best in the world, the pictures are impressive, beautiful, the cars are tested before hte other mags ( I remeber when they tested the first TVR Tuscan R for 1000miles for five days)

Ah I love the TOP GEAR t.v show and 5th Gear is good also.....I'm from the United States and the car tv shows here are pussy compared to the Brit's t.v shows. Tiff and Clarkson push the cars to the limits.....Gets me crazy

Stracing, I don't think they're run by same people, amybe the cars were tested in same periods, and a the month later they published the test drive. Also here in Italy in 3 or 4 magazines there were the Gallardo test and the Challenge Stradale test in the same month
