Motoring Magazines
Why is it that Evo, Top Gear and CAR mags have very similar content each issue?
This month they all have pics, test and a review of the Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder. The car is in the same colour and I'm guessing that it is actually the same car presumably from some press-release day where they all got to drive it?
Just wondered how these things were made, if content is going to be pretty much the same each month, the reader has to choose on style of magazine or quality of photography.

I don't think it's always the same.

It's just due to the fact that they go to official presentation/ test drives at the same time. I don't see why they should wait a few month to report their drive because another magazine already does it

Yeh, they print the report the first issue possible. Makes sense.

Because unless a magazine gets an exclusive first drive, cars are released to the media at the same time.
