I get your stance, but sometimes things need to change in order to keep a hobby alive & relevant;
Just see the prior posts about the complaints from strato-streak(?) V* proponents against the corporate Pontiacs in HPP.
For a great deal of their history GMC was absolutely just a badge engineered Chevrolet-truck - but if you go back far enough, you can see that they used to be different;
Also, after Pontiac was folded, you could IMMEDIATELY see the Pontiac design influence on GMC vehicle offerings.
I prefer shows were different vehicle types are groups more or less together, so maybe you need to go to a different show, or have some involvement in THAT show so that you don't have a GMC (truck) parked beside a GTO(?).

I would wager that many like me think that printing a magazine doesn't even come close to the real thing... then there's the downloading issues (that at least) I personally had.
I too thought online was better than nothing, but I found it wasn't much better than nothing.
It would be great if someone with clout from POCI was to read this, and take some of the whining as constructive criticism;
If I could re-subscribe with a printed magazine for a reasonable fee, I would do it in a heartbeat (even
knowing that I would often get my printed issue a month late).
