I've got a subscription to AutoWeek, great mag. It's a weekly mag, so most of the stuff you see & read in there, you won't see in the monthly mags until a few weeks later.
Car & Driver is pretty good too.

I purchased a C&D while I was on a business trip earlier this year and I thought it was okay. I'll have to check out some of the other suggestions. Not familiar with them. Thanks and keep the votes & responses coming.

I really like C&D
i bought MT a few months ago and it had a section "whats in my cd player" for the editor, and his top choice was the new U2 describing it as "rockin" and matchbox 20
that was the last time i bought MT hehe

As of late, it seems to me that Car & Driver and Road & Track seem to use cars from the same pool.
I'm now more into Motor Trend, although they dont publish top speeds: something that satisfies my curiousity.

Car and driver...
Motor Trend has no objective opinions about ANYTHING and I just never liked road and track...
I got a free subscription to Autoweek from Mazda RevItUp last year and ended up renewing cuz its a good mag and it helps me with my withdrawl symptoms when I'm waiting for my next C&D

C&D gets my vote just for actually putting cars in order (aka picking a winner). MT is getting better about that but they just won't pick a clear winner in almost all their reviews.
Plus I love that C&D puts in a 5-60 mph test. Most realistic test of cars speed.
R&T just sucks. Half the f-ing magazine is spent on F1 racing and crap. Hate the Track portion of that magazine
