WTF is going on with their website...

The image on the front page shows the TA car... you click that and see the drag car but the story is about a Ford!

I believe in this issue they also take the 2011 tC for a spin and give it a review.

I only buy Dsport when there is a DVD or a Scion is featured on it. Other than that, Dsport isn't really an entertaining magazine. Dsport is more like reading an advertisement full of grammar mistakes. However, I will most likely get this mag. They do have semi nice photo shoots. I still have the mag where they featured Kenny Tran and Alicia Whitten for the first time.

BTW, Dsport is like a mix between Import Tuner and the O (Oprah's Magazine if you didn't know), more or less.

Completely agree. I was a subscriber for two years and it was so bad that I just straight up had to cancel. It ended up being so completely terrible in so many areas; grammar, simple spelling, blatant disregard for even the most rudimentary editing and poor design checking to mention a few.

Their DVDs are just visual copies of what the issue of the magazine is for that month and if you read the articles there's no need to watch the DVD or vice versa. They talk smack about other (far superior) magazines as if they're something special, and then put out crap each month. Oh, did I mention that one of the things they complain about was "paper grade and quality?" Yea, how about save some money on the paper and hire an editor to make sure your content isn't garbage?

Wrong attitude, completely unprofessional, and nothing other than some admittedly decent photography and advertising skills.

Their "technical" articles are basically the automotive journalism equivalent of John Madden trying to explain a football game. "Whatcha gotta do here is bring the ball into the endzone to score a touchdown." --- "The <<brand name with big ad in this month's magazine>> exhaust helps spent gas escape from the engine faster so the exhaust gas gets out quicker." ((Sadly, I'm not making this up))

Pass. I'll stick to magazines that: Look good, have good content, have good pictures, cover a wide variety of cars, and aren't presumptious. Modified Mag. Done.

Very pumped about the Cover and Feature articles you guys got, Rob/DESCENDANT...but I can't in good conscience support that magazine.

I'm easy to please, and love DSport. I get DSport every month. The others mags I have to WANT to buy them based on the content for that month. 99% of the time I never buy Import Tuner or PAS.
