I have subscribed to Motor Trend for years and have noticed in the past couple of years their new "trend" of vehicle worship. Lucid was the "Car of the Year" and their selection article was nothing more than a press release for Lucid. The last issue had a long article on the Rivian crossing the US on back road trails; it was gushing. The vehicles may deserve the praise, but issuing the award to a vehicle the public can't get is a little over the top.
I probably won't renew my subscription. Their long term evaluations are generally regarding screen size, digital display function, menus, and Apple Play. I firmly believe some of the reviews are from people who haven't even driven the vehicles; at least nothing is mentioned about mechanicals and driving dynamics. MT is changing directions which is probably prescient, just not for me.
