Bad news for Pontiac fans
I don't have all the facts yet, but it seems HPP is being discontinued. They dropped a lot of titles today at the publisher, from what I've seen on Facebook. Certainly by the next 24 hours we'll know more.
|
Damn, that is bad. :(
|
Very sad. Do you have a link to the page?
|
That was about the only magazine I subscribe to anymore. That sucks bad! :(
|
I've read in Hot Rod about shake ups there, which HPP is a part of that group...yee ha not surprised. Wonder how they are going to refund my recent 3 year subscription???...LOL
Maybe that's why Tom DeMauro jumped ship a short while back, he maybe saw the handwriting on the wall???? |
x2 on refunds
|
x3 on the refunds!
|
Usually they transfer your subscription to another title.
|
THAT SUCKS!!!!
|
I seen this on YB.....
http://www.yellowbullet.com/forum/sh...d.php?t=885650 My subscription just expired this month! they still were sending me renew offers :rolleyes: but I didn't re-up. |
I now wonder about MuscleCar Review...

Jalopnik says a bunch of magazines in the Source Interlink group are folding:
Popular Hot Rodding folds into Hot Rod. Rod & Custom folds into Street Rodder. High Performance Pontiac folds into Hot Rod. Custom Classic Trucks folds into Classic Trucks. 4 Wheel Drive & SUV folds into Four Wheeler. Mud Life folds into Four Wheeler. 5.0 Mustang folds into Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords. Modified Mustangs & Fords folds into Mustang Monthly. Camaro Performers folds into Super Chevy. GM Hi-Tech folds into Super Chevy. Import Tuner folds into Super Street. Honda Tuning folds into Super Street. http://jalopnik.com/heres-how-former...ing-1583470716 |
It's absolutely true.
It came out of nowhere to those working for or with HPP. We found out this morning that the Editor was let go and by noon we were told the title was dead. As I understand Time magazine pulled the plug on SORC's distribution side causing a ripple effect in the pond. HPP was one of the titles that sunk. Since the days it was Thunder Am, HPP had a great 35 year run! |

Back to High Output? |
A sad day for me, as I have been affiliated with the magazine for most of my adult life- I started there in 1988. I feel terrible for Chris Phillip. He was really doing a great job and his supervisors had commended him on his performance earlier this week. Now he is unemployed. Beautiful...

I just phoned HPP customer service, talked to a customer rep name Tracy, who says she knows absolutely nothing about this, that's really poor handling of the situation

Muscle Car Review is safe - confirmed with the editor. |
Death of High Performance Pontiac magazine
Will the HPP website continue? As a 30 plus year fan of HPP, (and buyer of ANY car magazine featuring the Traditional Pontiac V8), this is TRULY BAD NEWS!!!
|
This just sucks! HPP is the only mag I look forward to receiving.
