It's kinda hard to imagine things falling apart that easily. Motoring is still the best there is and will ever be car mag in Singapore.

Cheers to that!

I am indeed shocked to hear that "Motoring" is coming to an end. I'm like you, still keeping the issues dated back to 1993, some in 1992. That was the time when the magazine is sold only for $3.50!! Pretty expensive for me those days as I was only a student.

I got to say that in the 90s, Motoring magazines are very much informative and very detailed in the writing and also very pictures intensive. Since 2000, the content quality of the magazine has been inconsistent. Even though in recent years it has picked up again, it still can't match those in the 90s.

OMG!!!! I collected Motoring too when I was a kid. It's kindda sad that a local magazine have to go. IMHO, Motoring is one of the few magazines that brings that local favor that connects to most local car owners/buyers. I understand that ever since the influx of many foreign car magazines that flood our shelves, it's been a tough fight for the local boys.

Sadly, we singaporeans are a weird bunch, while we lament the Government for bringing it so many "FTs" to competed our market, we ourselves prefer to read foreign products and media rather than supporting our own local flavors. Be in movies, comics, novels, media and now magazines!! If that's the case, why complain about FTs when you don't even support your own people??

While established foreign magazines gives very indept of the cars they review, it is often many of the models are questionmark to us, and not elevant to local context. Even localised copies of "Autocar" and "Topgear" contain hints that the original articles are written mainly for folks in European...like who in SG cares the fark how many POUNDs a used Beemer cost??? And what the hell is Vauxhall?? And why are all the cars left hand drive??

How that a Singapore Legacy has ended, I decided to keep the old copies of Motoring magazines in my vault, so that my children can enjoy car magazines in lolcal context....and laugh and the politcal-correctness of it's reviews.....after all most of the Dislikes is "Nothing Much." :)

so sad
