too bad, I always thought of that rag as being the most respectable of the compact/import genre...

I agree, I also enjoyed that magazine. On the flip side, Sport Compact Customs is still very alive.

ha! well, I liked it because it wasn't "Girls and Ricers" month after month. I mean I like girls, and I've done my share of ricer shit, but it was better focused imo.

There's still motor trend left!

Ah hell, they were the only mag that could make the otherwise "t00n3r" aspect of the sport compact scene bearable.

TheFranchise · 11/22/2008, 09:48 AM

Hell, I didn't realize Source Interlink owned that ... they are HQ'ed right down the street from my house, almost applied for a couple of jobs there when I first moved back to FLA.

I thought Turbo got cancelled a few months ago...or were you being sarcastic?

They should just move to online media, and just rely on advertisement for revenue.

I have a subscription to Turbo, and I haven't gotten a notice, nor do they stop coming.

turbo magazine: done Behind The Mag

Personally I don't think turbo has been that great in recent years...hell, I don't think this scene has been that great for years.

TheFranchise · 11/23/2008, 08:50 AM

maybe the government can bail out SCC?
