Does anyone know if Test Drive magazine has been pulled from publication?

I liked the format and down to earth road test articles but I haven't seen the magazine in the shops for a couple of months now and a Google search doesn't give me any info. Nor does Dennis Publishing website.

Yes - I too was sorry to see it go.

Thanks tyro, I was on holiday when that post came up so never saw it.

I wonder how long car mags will survive with this wibbly wobbly web thingy?

They'll survive if they have a USP. Test Drive was too similar to the well-established What Car.

It got pulled, 'cos it was naff.
What happened to Test Drive magazine? - tyro
Come, come, Michael. Many totally naff periodicals survive.

It got pulled because it was losing money :-)

As in - they weren't established enough for car makers to pay under table for raving reviews? No magazine can survive on Renault alone. ;)

Who are CAR funded by then?

Gucci?

Prada?

Ozwald Boateng?

It's not a car manufacturer I am sure. Waste of words and staples.
