I got hosed by whoever owned the title back in 04 after sending in my check for 2 more years that never came and I was already a subscriber to Street Rodder which was the only other title they had that I was interested in. Once I recover from Bugorama I'll start a new subscription and give it a chance. |
Hey jvulich,
I hear you. What the publishing company didn't wasn't right and a slap in the face to all the loyal readers that paid their corporate salaries over the years. Just to let you know, we're four guys who used to work at VW Trends back in the 80s/90s, and thought the magazine died an early horrible death by neglect. Thank you for giving it another chance, I'm REALLY interested to hear what you think when you get the first issue. Hope you recover from the BOR soon, and can't wait for your feedback. _________________ Want to subscribe to VW Trends Magazine, maybe get a T-shirt, or other swag??

Hey wheel607,
Not sure why you are re-commenting on a post that was made back on March 24th, I guess you forgot you had already commented on it back then. Again, that was the publishing company that did that to the subscribers, NOT the magazine. It really was a bum deal for the people that upped their subscription and then got hosed when the company cancelled the magazine.
As far as your question about Primedia being on the cover, I'm not sure what you are talking about. Can you please add some more clarity? _________________ Want to subscribe to VW Trends Magazine, maybe get a T-shirt, or other swag?? Go to www.vwtrendsmagazine.com and join the party! |

Hey overboost!
I may be mistaken, but I think that was never the cover of VW Trends, but rather the catalog cover for Johnny's Speed & Chrome. I'll have to go back and check the archives and see, although we did do a lot of covers like that back in the day so they kinda run together after awhile.
And Glenn, don't worry, those days have passed. We're up to something new and better. Stay tuned! _________________ Want to subscribe to VW Trends Magazine, maybe get a T-shirt, or other swag?? Go to www.vwtrendsmagazine.com and join the party! |

Definitely the cover. I think it was in 1983 but I have a copy at home. When I get back from Watkins Glen, I'll dig into my scrap binder and find it. _________________ The older I get... The faster I was... |

I stand corrected, you are 100% right! It was May of 1984. Forgive my oversight (welcome to old age) _________________ Want to subscribe to VW Trends Magazine, maybe get a T-shirt, or other swag?? Go to www.vwtrendsmagazine.com and join the party! |

8 pages that’s not enough you can do better😀keep whipping it. It’s new, it’s different. Get it now baby. I think you need to buy Snorklestang and make that your official VW Trends staff car. |

I just got a Hotvw's subscription for $34.97..less than $3 an issue.
Thought I'd give a vw magazine another try ( 12! at a cheap price)
Been over 5yrs since having a subscription and nothings really changed..
-same old advertisers, same old articles, cars that have already been all over the internet.
Flipped through it for about 10-15min and nothing really popped that made me think I was glad to subscribe again.
Not really sure how VWT will offer anything "different" other than a name on the cover.
-cars that nobody know about?
-different advertisers?
-secret information thats not avail everywhere already?
-less expensive costs with more exclusive never seen before content?
I'm sure there will be a place for the new venture for some people..
But then again... Telephone books were thing for a while as well... |
