Car magazines are much more aggressive about getting information out about
future models than photo magazines. They also seemed less tied to car
companys than photo magazines are to camera companys and thus are more
critical of the car products they test. It is not unusual at all for them
to really rip a car during a test if it doesn't meet their
expectations. When was the last time you saw that in a photo mag test of a
camera! When reading photo mag tests one has to learn to read between the
lines.
