I got a renewal notice in the mail just a couple of weeks ago. "BEST DEAL!! $39.97 for 2 years of Mopar Action"

You can't tell me they didn't know at the time these renewals were sent out. Money grab?


(I had a family emergency and never responded. Glad I didn't now).

The decision to kill the magazine wouldn't be from the renewal or editorial staff, but by someone at the actual publisher's office.
So, renewal offers would go out weeks or even months beforehand, and the staff likely wouldn't know they were about to be kicked to the curb.
Possibly the actual talent at MA is scrambling to find a publisher, or a printer, or whatever, so they can re-emerge/continue.
Maybe they can make a deal with whomever MCG uses, but I doubt their circulation would work for whomever publishes MT, or C/D and R&T.
For years, ever since magazines started folding (bad pun), I've only renewed for a year at a time.

I have enjoyed the magazine for a long time and I’ll miss it. I’m potentially out a few dollars on my current subscription. In a worse case scenario a subscriber is out $ 40.

In another viewpoint a number of people will lose their employment. Magazine staff, printers, t-shirt suppliers (where those free t-shirts came from).

In the 60’s there was a certain automotive publishing threshold. Hot Rod, Motor Trend. Popular Hot Rodding and the like. Manufacturers had their trade titles, Ford Times, Dodge News, Plymouth Traveler; all gone now too. Now someone is working to create a buzz for each brand in the internet. It’s just a natural progression of the market.

In the 2000’s there got to be so many magazines, not just automotive, many lifestyle themes then they were gone.

It appears to be everything across the board with Athlon publishing...

So with MA gone, is there another Mopar specific magazine worth getting?
I see Mopar Collectors Guide, does it include any tech articles?

I really enjoyed Ehrenberg's articles.

Meh. no loss.. mopar mags have sucked for over a decade now..


It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

I haven't read MA in 15+ years but the ones I saw on the newstand usually had something hideous on the cover like this. No thanks!

Was great back in the 90's though

I love supporting Mopar magazines. I subscribe to MCG and Mopar Action. Sucks Mopar Action is gone. I like reading MCG. People complain but it's better than nothing. MCG has been flying the Mopar flag for a long time. Nothing wrong with that.

I also subscribe to Hot Rod and Hemmings It's alarming that Hot Rod is down to 4 issues a year.

I get three Hemmings magazines. They are pretty good at having a mopar feature per month. Even a nice 340 build and dyno run a couple months ago.

MCG would do well to add a Eberg tech column, you listening out there, Rob?


I want my fair share

Athlon is gun heavy in the print area, and I think was having issues just getting shelf space with retailers that still sell magazines. I was under the impression that Athlon took over the printing of MA as a contract print to help offset the costs of the other magazines. MA is still my favorite car mag.

I stopped subscribing to all mags about 10 years back as they were all the same 💩. I would typically read them during lunch to stay up with what was NEW. The tech articles in one mag would show up in another 3-6 months later. And I got burned on a few as well. Sorry we're stopping publication but you can choose from home and gardens, Motor trend (zero interest), or several other crap titles.
I do still get Hemmings with my insurance through Hagerty. haven't looked at one in quite some time but last I did up
There was one J/O that wrote technical articles for one of the rags and he consistently made blatant errors. can't remember his name right now shruggy

I started working for a local small independent telephone company in 1964 as a Apprentice lineman, I transfer into outside plant customer as a apprentice installer repairman in late 1965. That was before deregulation when we provided the phone, house wiring and every part of your telephone service including access to long distance calls., That all change in 1981 when the Federal Government allowed ATT to break up Bell Telephone and ruin one of the best public utility service companies that existed. down puke whiney
I now see many homes without local telephone service, almost all of them puke shruggy
its called progress, correct whistling
As far as the future and information services now the doors are wide open work
