Does anyone here have a subscription to Road&Track? If so what do you think about the new format.


Also: the 0-100 time discussion from the other day, here are the times:

Maxima: 18.4
BMW 330: 16.3

I din't feel like looking for the thread

The new graphics I like, but the new large size won't fit in the magazine cases I save my old R&T's in. It's about 1/4 inch too wide now.

I like the new format. Wider is better. I look at the back road test summary, but it listed the Maxima 0-100 mph. time was 21.5. You're right about the 330 0-100 mph. time.

The 0-100 Time I posted was for the 5 speed SE max from an earlier issue. The one in the back is an auto.

I don't see how a 5 spd max hits 100 at 18.4. Think of a drag strip. Doesn't a maxima trip the lights at say 94-95 mph? No way does it take an extra 3 seconds for those extra 5 miles.

I like the new big size. It's like the European auto mags. Very nice. Cover was gorgeous...M3! Wow!

The new M3 is very nice, but seriously I can never imagine myself driving one of those (well, not now), especially in SF, where if you park it on the street it will be stolen the minute you look away.

I doubt it, afterall it's a just a $50k. There are tons of money cars out there in SF I heard.
