Wikipedia
An automobile or car is a kind of wheeled motor vehicle. Automobile may also refer to:
- Automobile (magazine), a modern magazine started in 1986
- Automobile, a defunct automobile magazine started in 1899 and continuing into 1907
Automobile is an American automobile magazine published by TEN: The Enthusiast Network. A group of former employees of Car and Driver led by David E. Davis founded Automobile in 1986 with support from Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation – using the credo No Boring Cars. Automobile distinguishes itself as more of a lifestyle magazine than the other automotive publications, an editorial theme that Davis greatly expanded upon from his tenure as the editor of Car and Driver, though it is a sister publication to Motor Trend.
Unlike most other automobile magazines, Automobile does not often do instrumented tests of cars or provide much technical data. Instead, the reviews of vehicles are subjective experiential reports with the cars in their naturally intended, real world environment. Additionally, Automobile reserves a good portion of each issue covering vehicles no longer in production, but still relevant to collectors or automotive history as a whole. For example, the magazine includes features such as "Collectable Classic," an in-depth review of a particular older car, and reports from recent classic and antique car auctions. Automobile also has a regular column by former General Motors designer Robert Cumberford, who analyzes styling elements of current production models and show cars, often linking their design to those of older cars.
For its first 25 years, Automobile was headquartered in Ann Arbor, Michigan in the building of the former The Pretzel Bell, a college dive bar.
In May 2014, Automobile relocated from Ann Arbor to Los Angeles and cut staff significantly, including longtime editor-in-chief Jean Jennings, who had helped David E. Davis found the magazine. Jennings remains editor-in-chief of the website JeanKnowsCars.com.
There is no relationship between Automobile and the similarly titled French publication L’Automobile Magazine, which was founded in 1946 and is published by Motor Presse France.
