Auto/Motor/Sport, a bi-weekly that costs about $180 per year. I often take a gander at Borders, because I'm too cheap to buy it.
I suscribed to Car And Driver off and on again for the last ten years. I guess I shoulda kept them all but I took them to work and school and let everybody read them. I got tired of Car And Driver's juvenile approach and switched to Road And Track. And then I started missing the grade school like antics. I'll have to say Road And Track has much better photograhpy and picture presentation.
I never really took to Motor Trend and I don't know why. Just never really looked at that one much. I did enjoy one called Grass Roots Motor Sports. I only saw the first couple issues and then I never saw it again.
Sometimes I get mail from Road And Track wanting me to re up but I never do.

I like R&T because of writers like Peter Egan and the photography. Get tired of the coverage of the super exotics. Also like the tech features, and the correspondence. Sometimes read Automobile.

oilBabe and I do the same thing. We have bookstore date nights where we buy a cup of joe and read the magazines and books that we are interested in, but too cheap to buy
Now if the library would put in a coffee bar....

I wouldn't call the faves, but I get R&T, C&D and MotorTrend all delivered to the house. The kiddos have sold magazines in school fund raisers, so I'm well stocked. I think all of them will run until 2011 now, and I doubt I've spent more than $100 with all the $8-10/year rates and/or re-up offers.
Like I said above, I read others at the local bookstore, such as GRM, TopGear, etc.

When I drove Mercedes, I read and often bought the British magazines like Classic and Thoroughbred Cars and Mercedes Enthusiast; once in a while the Mercedes Classic magazine from DBAG themselves. Enthusiast is still good, even if I no longer have a Benz.
Nowadays, I might flick through Automobile and Motor Trend, but I prefer Hemmings Classic Car, Collectible Automobile, and Motor Trend Classic (if that last still exists). I know of no magazines focused on Buick ownership, so the classic and collectible magazines are the place to find articles and pictures.

If I were to read an auto mag it would be Sprint Car and Midget.
I love C&Ds snarkiness! To me, magazines are an entertaining time filler, so when I have subscriptions, I usually let them pile up until I'm bored, then I pull them out and start reading through them
Automobile
The ones with the most attractive models.
There was a warning in a Tower Record about 10 years ago, with a greasy mustache guy and the eyes censored, that tells you not to put playboys inside auto magazine and read it in the store.
Funny I was doing exactly that.

I've subscribed to C&D and MT for years. I enjoy both equally. I used to prefer C&D. They pretty much both run the same tests/comparisons.
