C! and Evo September 2006 Issues finally out!

[niky]

And I must say, the content is very good this month. Articles really suffered in the months building up to the release of their Calibre publication, but the current issues are once again top-notch.

Of note:

C! Magazine:
- Quattro review. Glorious (better than TG) pics of the new TT, but driving impressions a little sparse.
- 799k Comparo. The big 2006 compact car shootout... guess who won? (Obvious, di ba? )
- Stavic, Previa, Fortuner... etc.
- Compact SUV Comparo. Real Compact SUVs, mind you... tall wagons Outlander and Forester not included.

Evo Magazine:
- Best Front Wheel Drive Car Ever. Bwisit. Wala yung Lynx. Binili ko pa siya para dito!!!
- Plus the usual other stuff... great pictures!!!

bakit now lang linabas, patapos na ang september. sana ginawa nalang nilang double issue (sept-oct) para hindi halatang delayed yung issue

[niky]

They wrote in their review columns that the mad dash to release Calibre had affected and delayed everything... I was actually surprised that these are the September issues, because for the first few months, they were a month early.

Oh well... the content was worth the wait.

[bougartt]

I WISH they'd "roll back" even the price of this magazine..
i haven't purchased this mag eversince they increased their prices to Php185..

[theveed]

I honestly think that C!'s P185 offers better value than Top Gear's... Reading the local Top Gear is kinda the same as reading company marketing materials.

[niky]

Well, the price is kinda steep... but considering one C! Magazine is twice the size of Topgear and is actually 1.5 magazines in one (C! + F1), plus has better, thicker paper, bigger pics and nicer articles (Topgear has some nice ones, too, but it's still not consistent enough)... I think it's worth it.

Imagine, for P185 last month, you got C!, with the usual F1 insert, PLUS Calibre Magazine... 2.5 magazines for 185 pesos... wahoo!

And Calibre? I'm still drooling over it. Bwisit naman sila... releasing a mag about luxury items I can only dream of...

*niky, does your C! sept'06 issue have these problems?

I just got the C! September ish and:

*No Calibre magazine included for this month(last August issue had one).

*Pages 159-160 are missing. I bought this issue partly to read about their long term review on the Fortuner. I checked other issues and they also having missing pages or double pages of 154-155

[niky]

Calibre was a one month only bonus.

I haven't checked pages 159-160... I'll check my waterlogged and flood-damaged issue... ...yeah, I don't have them either. Hope they print them next issue.

Actually, they promised to replace my copy if they can determine that only some copies did not have these pages and not their entire batch.

[boybi]

how would they replace your copy? or are you a subscriber of C!?

based on this thread, i think everyone's issue have the same missing pages.
