THE DSPORT NEW CAR BUYER'S GUIDE KICKS OUR ASS EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

This edition was exceptionally challenging, as we wanted to showcase a few examples of American muscle and high-tech European offerings for comparison. Having never established relationships with Ford, GM, Dodge, Porsche, BMW, Audi or VW, we had little success in securing press fleet vehicles for testing. Determined to get a couple of these vehicles, we did the next best thing…rent ‘em. That’s right the Ford Mustang GT and Camaro SS were rented from an agency that shall remain nameless since they basically robbed us thanks to $200-per-day per-car rates.

Speaking of budgets, track rentals and additional staffing to produce this issue and the soon to be released videos (on DSPORT DVD and our DSPORT YouTube channel) will exceed $20,000 over our standard issue budget. Hopefully, we’ve produced a resource to allow you to make a better new vehicle purchase in the near future.

While we’ve produced the New Car Buyer’s Guide for three years now, we really want your input on how to make it better. We’ve seen what the big three offer and what the consumer magazines deliver and we like our product better. But, DSPORT is your magazine, not ours. We are just your humble servants producing the qualified content and testing that you desire. When you like something or you don’t, let us know. You can always send your email to inbox@hardmediainc.com or just find us on Facebook.

A special thanks goes out to all of the people that helped us put this special issue together and to the members on staff that actually worked hard this month. Much appreciation.
