Automobile Magazine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Automobile Magazine is an automobile magazine in the United States. It was founded by a group of defectors from competitor, Car and Driver, led by that magazine's former editor, David E. Davis.

Automobile distinguishes itself as more of a lifestyle magazine than the other automotive publications, an editorial theme that Davis greatly expanded upon from his tenure as the editor of Car and Driver. One may often find articles in Automobile that may seem more suited for Field & Stream, Outside, or Rolling Stone magazines. Unlike most other automobile magazines Automobile does not do instrumented tests of cars. It does not provide much technical data either.

Automobile magazine is headquartered in Ann Arbor, MI and is published by Primedia, the same publishing corporation that publishes Motor Trend. Davis retired in recent years and the current editor is long-time deputy, Jean Jennings. Davis currently serves as the editor of Winding Road magazine, an online automotive magazine.

The name is also employed in France by an unrelated magazine called L'Automobile Magazine, which was founded in 1946 and seems to be the older magazine of the two. This belongs now to the German group Motor Presse Stuttgart.
