I caught that front-engine mistake immediately -- because I was looking for it. I just KNEW they would flunk it up.
But, hey, it wasn't quite as bad as the car mistake made by Conde Naste stablemate, GQ magazine. About four months ago, GQ ran an article on open-top cars. The lead of the article was on the Carerra GT, the $400,000 uber-car. Well, guess what photo they ran? A picture of a Boxter!!! And, yes, it was captioned as the Carerra GT.
I wrote a letter-to-the-editor, telling them not to feel bad, because no one expects fancy-lad magazine editors living in Manhattan to know jack about cars in the first place -- after all, they all take cabs.
I actually liked Cargo. I will not only subscribe, I will probably also read it. Or at least glance at the photos.
As for car magazines, in the coming weeks, I will be appealing to all on this board to fill out a survey on what you do and do not want to see in a high-performance car magazine. The company I work for will have some type of prize to offer for your troubles. Stay tuned...
