    I like their reviews but it freaks me out a little when the pictures start moving.

    GT-R first

    Porsche and Audi second, with a little bit of advantage for the Porsche as an every-day car...

    Aston came last!

    Regarding the last page. The GTR is a V6 not an inline 6 and the front and rear wheels are different widths.

    seemed from the beginning to be a set up for porsche. the audi is barely talked about and mainly is referred to in different sections at different times.

    a bit odd. i've never heard of this mag.
    Past- A4, TT, S4

    Present- R8 V10

    It's a new magazine with Chris Harris (who stopped working for Autocar) and two guys of EVO mag. http://www.drivers-republic.com/about_dr/who_we_are/
    I really like the way the handle things. For me the best upcoming new online magazine. Just read the article of the RS6 vs C63. They handle things a bit different then we are used to... I like that.

    If you go by the ratings the GTR and the R8 are equal with Porsche 2nd and the Aston last. (I haven't read the whole thing though!!!)

    I see that new Porsche is a threat to R8...
    And new 911 TT will be a threat to R8 V10...
    very tight competition

    Interesting, im a big Fan of Chris Harris, especially his take on the Autocar Best Car of the Year segment.

    Interesting and Detailed Read. The new Carrera is a good one. Based on the test, it seems that the new Carrera and R8 are neck and neck with each other. Good read. Also, while there was not much details and praise on the R8, its just because it was all given before in previous artcles and video reviews. I remember in the Car of the Year awars, all those drivers were awestruck with the R8.
