I've subscribed off and on to Autoweek since 1985, but I'm not renewing this time around since it has become Auto-Every-Other-Week. I bought a subscription that promised 52 issues in a year. I now get 26 issues with no refund or extension. They'll never get another penny from me as a result. Plus, their editorial stance has gotten to be a little preechy for my tastes.
I agree that the every other week format is turning me off AW. One redeeming quality of the mag was getting one every week, even if it was a bit thin and ad-heavy.
Uh, Satch didn't "leave," he got messed up by a sex-with-a-student charge up in Sarah Palin country.
Sometimes there's great writing at Autoweek. Dutch Mandel sucks.
