I guess you have to have friends working on the magazine to see it. For me this magazine is still terrible.

Gotta love American education. As many have said, resign and re-sign are almost opposites. He did not resign. Hopefully the Autoblog writer here can update the story.

Aug 25th 2007 5:35PM I found this magazine at the bookstore today, after reading the recommendation on Autoblog.
It's awful. I was hoping for good writing, great pictures, clear graphic design, and interesting stories.
The graphic design stands out as the very worst part of the magazine. I don't understand the new US publishers and why they insist on producing lousy layouts. How hard is it to make something easy to read?
The photos aren't worth the purchase price.
The "buyers guide" for the NSX was also crap. The extent of the useful information was the warning about the transmission snap ring, and the price for a 75k mile service. A two sentence buying guide doesn't impress me. How does the upholstery stand up? What are the prices for different years? What about the fast tire wear and the toe- settings on the rear? When do you need to change the timing chain/belt? Is that change an engine-out affair like most exotic mid-engine cars?
I *really* do hope for a US version of EVO. This certainly isn't it!! I've been buying every EVO for over 5 years, and I bought the EVO sitting next to '0-60' in the bookstore today.
